About Us

Name Crystal Instruments
Summary Analyzers, Recorders, and Shaker Controllers
Description Crystal Instruments (CI) is a leading worldwide supplier of system and software for machine monitoring, dynamic measurement, vibration and acoustic testing. CI’s products are used for machine diagnosis, design verification, product testing and process improvement by manufacturers of all types of electronic and mechanical products.

Crystal Instruments was incorporated in 1996 in California, USA.

In 1998, Crystal Instruments released the world smallest dynamic signal analyzer in a type-II PCMCIA form factor. It is the very first vibration analyzer in the world using sigma-delta A/D converters.

In 2007, CI introduced CoCo-80, the first handheld data recorder, real-time dynamic signal analyzer and vibration data collector that matches the performance of high-end lab-quality instrumentation.

In 2009, CI introduced the Spider-80, a highly scalable network-based dynamic measurement system that can measure up to 1024 dynamic input channels with full data recording capability. It is ideal for a wide range of industries including machine condition monitoring, automotive, aviation, aerospace, electronics and military that demand easy, quick and accurate data recording, real-time signal processing and vibration control.

In 2010, CI introduced the 4th generation of vibration controller based on its Spider architecture.

James Zhuge and Justin Tang founded Crystal Instruments. James Zhuge was one of the founders of Dactron Inc.. Dactron is now part of B&K-LDS. Justin Tang is the chief designer of more than 20 dynamic measurement instruments.

CoCo-80 Application Note, Modal Analysis on Strut Parts

Created by Crystal Instruments about March 9, 2011, 0 Comments, 878 Views, Category: Vibration

Modal analysis is used to analyze the dynamic characteristics of structures and mechanical parts. This analysis, which identifies mode shapes and frequency and damping parameters, describes how the part reacts to dynamic forces. It is used for model verification, for assessing safety and performance, and for predicting the effect of design changes. Here, a CoCo signal analyzer, with ME’Scope software, is used for a modal analysis on an automotive suspension mount.
Modal Testing on Hockey Sticks

Created by Crystal Instruments about January 31, 2011, 0 Comments, 710 Views, Category: Vibration

The modal response of hockey sticks affects their performance and usability in the hockey sport. In order to improve the performance of their sticks, one popular hockey stick manufacture used the CoCo signal analyzer to characterize this modal behavior. They used an impact hammer for excitation, an accelerometer to measure response, the CoCo for data acquisition, and ME’scope for the analysis. Hammer testing is a common way to measure the properties of mechanical structures. It involves striking the structure at various points to impart energy, and...
