SPEKTRA Schwingungstechnik und Akustik GmbH Dresden, Germany was founded in 1994 and has established itself as a renowned manufacturer of components and systems for the testing and calibration of sensors. The products of the family business are used worldwide for the reliable measurement of dynamic physical quantities such as vibration, acceleration, sound pressure or alternating charge.
As from 2008, SPEKTRA also includes the APS trademark under which the company manufactures and sells long-stroke vibration exciters (shakers) and runs a marketing office in California, USA under the name of APS Dynamics, Inc. Through this merger, forces based on decades of experience could be bundled to develop a new generation of even more powerful vibration control systems.
Furthermore the company‘s calibration laboratory is accredited by DAkkS and offers a wide range of calibration services. And all this at a level of measurement uncertainty that can normally only be guaranteed by topmost national metrology laboratories.
SPEKTRA is often pioneer when it comes to the development, manufacturing or distribution of measuring and testing systems as well as calibration equipment. The use of such technology to provide special services and equipment for metrological and industrial applications enabled the company to reach an international top position in a growing market.
