6 Degree-of-Freedom Motion Platform

(MB-E-6DPF, Moog Inc., East Aurora, NY)
The 6-DOF motion platform consists of 6 electric linear servo actuators which can replicate the same WBV exposure measured in the field.

Optical Motion Capture Systems

Optical motion capture system with 1.3 MP cameras precisely tracks human’s movements to quantify musculoskeletal loading (net joint torques), moment arms, joint angles, etc.

8- and 16-channel (wired/wireless) Electromyography Systems

A portable telemetry and data logger designed to meet the most demanding needs in measurement and monitoring of electromyography (EMG) and other physiological signals up to 16 channels simultaneously.

Electrogoniomters

The electrogoniometers can accurately measure postures in angles during various physical work.

Vibration and Sound data logger and analysis system

This 6-ch vibration and sound data acquisition system can accurately measure vibration using tri-axial accelerometers and sound using high-resolution microphone.  It also can combined to have more than 12 channels.

3-D static strength prediction program

3D SSPP software predicts static strength requirements for tasks such as lifts, presses, pushes, and pulls. The program provides an approximate job simulation that includes posture data, force parameters and male/ female anthropometry.
