If you attend this class - you could WIN... J-38792 Electronic Vibration Analyzer

This course is packed with information-including a copy of Vibrate Software-which every NVH technician must know in order to identify, diagnose and repair this ever increasing automotive area.

Over the last two decades, vehicle design and engineering have dramatically changed. The majority of vehicle designs now incorporate lighter unibody designs and increased vehicle options that can create and transfer noise and vibration much easier. Along with these changes, the light duty truck market has expanded its appeal to a much broader customer base. As warranties expire, customer demand for overall vehicle smoothness now falls on the aftermarket and private shop technicians.

Topics to be covered include:

•The Sources of NVH •Characteristics of NVH •Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) Operation and Usage •Using Vibrate Software (Included with class text manual!) •Calculation of Group Frequencies •Engine/Driveline/Wheel and Auxiliary System Vibration Diagnosis and Repair Procedures

A customer’s perception of overall vehicle quality can be linked to the presence or absence of noise and vibrations. The ability of the non-dealership technician to quickly diagnose and repair NVH concerns ensures customer satisfaction and loyalty during these tough economic times.
