How Hardware Startups Use Vibration Analysis to Prevent Field Failures

In this episode of Hardware Startups with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into vibration analysis — a critical but underappreciated technique that hardware startups use to catch failures before they happen in the field. Lucas explains how a small robotics startup used a $400 accelerometer and open-source software to identify a resonance issue in their motor mount that would have caused premature bearing wear. They contrast this with traditional approaches like finite element analysis, and discuss how startups can build a vibration testing rig for under a thousand dollars. Luna shares a story about a drone company that caught a propeller imbalance during development, saving them a costly recall. They also touch on the limits of vibration analysis for very small or very large devices.
