Manufacturer:  Crystal Instruments

Crystal Instruments designs, produces, sells, and services hardware and software for machine vibration monitoring, dynamic measurement and environmental testing. Crystal Instruments conducts the typical activities of a business within the tech industry to “design, produce, sell and service” products. Crystal Instruments designs the products from the circuit boards, FPGA code, firmware, algorithm, DSP software, and user interface software to the calibration tools. From start to finish, they develop and own the technology, so that it is expandable and upgradeable. They manufacture or sub-contract to manufacture the products in the USA. Instead of relying on any big-name brands to sell products, they develop their own distribution channels.

The “hardware and software” part of the statement refers to the type of the products that Crystal Instruments builds. The instrumentation products integrate the know-hows of electronics, sensor and measurement technology, control theory, digital signal processing, structural testing and physics, environmental simulation, and the software programming technology at different layers from firmware to cloud service. he remaining part of the statement, “machine vibration monitoring, dynamic measurement and environmental testing”, refers to the application domain. The CoCo and Spider instruments have been widely used in machine condition monitoring and diagnostics by taking and analyzing the vibration signals. In the testing lab, professionals use Crystal Instruments products to conduct the measurement and control for vibration, shock, acoustic, pressure, temperature, humidity and other physical quantities.
