  • Method for automatic speed control of an orbital shaker device to determine one of more stacked out of balance orbital shaker devices
    Patent number: 10427120
    Abstract: A method for automatic speed control of an orbital shaker device to determine one of at least two stacked orbital shaker devices operating in an out of balance condition includes the steps of a) Starting the first orbital shaker device, b) Accelerating the first orbital shaker device, and c) Determining a vibration level of the first orbital shaker device, and d) Automatically decreasing a speed of the first orbital shaker device if the vibration level determined in step c) exceeds a predefined first threshold, wherein the steps a) to d) are additionally executed for a second orbital shaker device independently from the first orbital shaker device.
