ONSITE TRAINING
Vibration Research is offering a hands-on training event in collaboration with Elite Electronic Engineering. Thomas Achatz, VR’s Product Development and Educational Consultant, will present a 2-day course on vibration testing in the context of product development and mixed environments.
At the Elite Electronic Engineering facility, participants will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with test equipment and software. We won’t just talk about what to do, we’ll have you apply new knowledge in the lab.
