Abstract
A vibration table includes a base, a plurality of springs, and a platform supported by the springs on the base. The platform includes spaced-apart first and second sides and at least one reinforcing member extending transversely across the second side. The first side of the platform defines a mounting or support surface for mounting articles on the vibration table. The second side includes a plurality of reinforcing members. The platform is vibrated by a plurality of vibration assemblies which are mounted to the reinforcing members whereby the reinforcing member distributes vibration from the vibration assemblies uniformly across the platform. At least one of the reinforcing members includes a mounting surface which extends generally orthogonal to the second side of the platform.
