FACT SHEET

Detailed Specifications:

Vibration

• Minimum Frequency . . . 1Hz
• Maximum Frequency . . . 50Hz
• Maximum Operator Weight . . . 500lb
• Maximum Amplitude of Vibration . . . 1”
• Drive System . . . Servo Controlled, Direct Drive Magnetic Actuator
• Maximum Thrust . . . 1g (standard gravitational acceleration)
• Thrust Working Range . . . 1g from 4.5 Hz to 40 Hz with operator weight up to 350lb. Thrust falls below 1g for heavier operator, or for frequency below 4.5Hz.

Vibration Modes:

• Pure sine wave excitation with independently variable frequency and amplitude.
• Constant force (cyclical quadratic) excitation with independently variable frequency and amplitude.
• Mixed frequency excitation using high and low frequencies simultaneously.

Control System

• Intuitive user interface using Color LCD.
• 32-bit industrial microprocessor with real time operating system.
• Software upgradeable via Internet.
• Master / Slave interface allows machines to operate in pairs for greater load capacity and/or teeter-totter operation. (Optional item)
• Network aware – used primarily for special purpose applications such as health clubs. (Optional item)
• Fan-On-Demand control ensures that cooling fans only run as needed, resulting in much quieter operation and silent standby.
• Smooth Transitions - The Evolution starts up gradually, gently increasing amplitude to the operating level. During operation, transitions smoothly from one level to another. At the end of the session, the Evolution comes to a gradual stop.

System Intelligence

The Evolution has a simple and intuitive user interface with the following features:

• Biometric Operator Identification - The Evolution identifies the operator based on their weight and date of last use.
• Recent Workout Select - The Evolution recalls the most recent workout sessions for the current operator and offers these as options for the current workout.
• Autostart - The Evolution can be configured to start a workout program after a short countdown without any operator intervention, other than stepping on the machine.
• Intelligent Pause - If the operator steps off the Evolution during a session, it will automatically pause the session and automatically resume the session when the operator steps back on the machine.
• Quick Tweak - Allows the operator to easily adjust session time and amplitude for the active workout session.
• Session History - The Evolution retains a record of session for each operator, as well as the operator’s weight.
• Sophisticated internal monitoring ensure safe and reliable operation. The following parameters are continuously measured and checked:
  • Internal air temperature of the unit, temperature of the main power supply, temperature of the motor. Out of limit conditions will bring cooling systems online, and / or cause the machine to temporarily stop until the condition is cleared.
  • Orientation: the unit will only operate if it is standing vertically, as designed.
  • Internal vibration: The Evolution monitors internal vibration and uses signature analysis to detect anomalies.

Mechanical Construction

• The Evolution is constructed using a combination of steel, structural aluminum and high impact plastics in order to realize manageable portability, low residual vibration and minimal metal fatigue.
• The Evolution uses space-age plastics and ceramics for bearing surfaces to ensure minimal service intervals for professional use, and none for home use).

• Plate covers mats - In addition to the foot mat shipped with the Evolution, also available are foot plate mats with a profile that stimulates the acupressure points in the sole of the foot.
• Gym bars - This is a set of grips and bars that attach to the vibration plate for a range of upper body muscle-building exercises.
• Base-plate foot matt with POWER / BALANCE™ technology <more info>
