    The Making of a Great Company How Spectral Dynamics Came to Be

    The Making of a Great Company How Spectral Dynamics Came to Be Tony Keller, Spectral Dynamics Inc., San Jose, California Any company that has been serving customers for 55+ years must be doing something right. Spectral Dynamics, SD, is just such a company. The following discussion traces the history of SD from it’s inception in 1961 to the present day. Although SD continues to offer state-of-the-art systems for multi-shaker control, rotating machinery analysis and shock data capture, this story concentrates on the early days of this great company. In those early days, it seemed like every new product was unique to our industry and each one definitely gave custom- ers a new tool which improved their operation and contributed to advancing the state-of-the-art. We were continually breaking new ground. For example, in 1966 we introduced the SD109 Co/ Quad Analyzer. This unit was often used in conjunction with our SD1002 Automatic Mechanical Impedance Measuring System. The SD109 ushered in an era of modal analysis like no one had seen before. For the first time there was instrumentation to let you virtually “see” the mode shapes and literally move transducers around to find nodes and anti-nodes on your structure. Figure 1.
