Vib Pro 3XTM Triaxial Vibrator Control System

• Multi-servo control system designed for 3-axis

vibrators with compatibility to both Input/Output’s
SidewinderTM and IVI’s TriaxTM triaxial vibrators

• Independent menu entries for P-wave, longitu-

dinal shear-wave, and transverse shear-wave
operations support differing needs for each axis
and offer unsurpassed flexibility in triaxial seismic
source control

• Independent calibration and control for each axis

offers the flexibility needed for efficient operations

• Automatic operational axis transformations of

vibrator operations among P-wave, transverse
shear-wave, and longitudinal shear-wave modes
occur during listen-time rather than after listen-
time for improved operational efficiency

• The Vib Pro 3X is operationally compatible with

the standard Vib ProTM system to ease equipment
transition issues and to preserve prior capital
investments

The Vib Pro 3X is the latest addition to the Pelton family of source control systems and is an exten-
sion of the industry-leading, field-tested, and proven Vib Pro system.

To minimize contractor-learning curve and crew-training time, the Vib Pro 3X uses Pelton’s familiar
computer programs for controlling system configuration, checking the health of the controller and
actuator, and acquiring, storing, and evaluating quality control data. The Vib Pro 3X is designed to
minimize the new items that need to be learned when a crew is transitioning from single-axis to multi-
axis vibrator units. Many of the components that are used in the standard Vib Pro are, also, used in the
Vib Pro 3X system, making it easier to deploy and support crews that may have both systems or are
transitioning from single-axis to multi-axis vibrator units.

In support of operational efficiency and prior capital investments, Pelton designed the Vib Pro 3X
such that it can be used with standard Vib Pro units on the same crew operating simultaneously and
communicating with the same Vib Pro Encoder.
