Earthquake-resistant vibration platforms

the world's largest vibration platform

1923 Kanto Earthquake, magnitude of 7.9 and 1995 Southern Hyogo Earthquake, magnitude of 7.2.
Although the progress of electronic processors enables earthquake resistant design of complex and advanced structures, the best way to obtain greater reliability is to precisely reproduce huge earthquakes and verify findings.
At Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. we developed a world first 'Three dimensional six-degree-of-freedom large size vibration platform' that can simultaneously vibrate horizontally in 2 directions and vertically in 1 direction, through making full use of unique control technology and advanced hydraulic pressure technology. We have been responding to research needs in various fields such as architecture, civil engineering, machinery and electric power.
In addition, based on our long term experiences and achievements, we are currently manufacturing the world's largest vibration platform known as the 'Actual large three dimensional vibration destruction experimental facility'.
