HVMA

Overview

Field of Application:

The effects of vibration at the workplace (e.g. when working with hammer drills) can range from nuisance or reduced productivity up to health damage.

Since July 2002, European Parliamentary Guideline 2002/44/EG regulates the minimum provisions for protection of workers against damaging vibrational effects at the workplace. This guideline obliges the EU member states to enact laws and issue administrative regulations in order to meet these obligations. For example, in Germany the "LärmVibrationsArbSchV" regulations came into effect on March 9th, 2007.

Description:

The HVMA (Human Vibration Multi-Analyzer) option allows the measurement of vibration for the purpose of evaluating the effects of the vibration on a person. Our measurement system conforms to the required characteristics and permitted margins of error for measuring systems according to DIN EN ISO 8041. This software option allows simultaneous vibration measurement in all three spatial directions. For the frequency weighting, all filter curves in the ISO 2631 and ISO 5349 standards are available. Alongside the measured values for each of the three spatial directions, the value of the result vector is displayed for hand-arm and whole-body vibration. In parallel to the above, third-octave, FFT and time signals can be displayed and saved in both weighted and unweighted forms.

The portable and robust Soundbook measurement system is available with up to eight channels, thus allowing an acoustical analysis to be performed in parallel to a vibration investigation with this option, whereby all the basis functionality of SAMURAI is also available. Furthermore, the NOISECAM VIDEO option allows the measurement situation to be recorded synchronously via a video camera.
