High Performance Systems to Simulate the Harshest Field Conditions

Defence testing standards addresses a broad range of environmental conditions that include: low pressure for altitude testing; exposure to high and low temperatures plus temperature shock (both operating and in storage); rain (including wind-blown and freezing rain); humidity, fungus, salt fog for rust testing; sand and dust exposure; explosive atmosphere; leakage; acceleration; shock and transport shock; gunfire vibration; and random vibration. Environmental management and engineering processes that can be of enormous value to generate confidence in the environmental worthiness and overall durability of a system design. The test standards usually contains detailed military acquisition program planning and engineering direction to consider the influences that environmental stresses have on equipment throughout all phases of its service life.

We are able to offer complete solution for military standards (MIL-STD, GAM-EG.13) qualification testing on structures, using a shaker installation in a closed loop fashion. The solution supports swept sine, random, shock, SRS, combined modes and time replay-based qualification. In every qualification test phase and control mode, the system offers a wealth of safety precautions to protect the test article and test area.

A few applications:

• Communication Antenna Vibration Qualification Testing

• Gun Turret Field Vibration Simulation

• Launcher Cartridge Field Transportation Vibration Simulation

AEROSPACE

Accelerate system maturity and reduce risk before first flight

Achieving earlier aircraft maturity and higher space system reliability are high on the agenda of every aircraft and space manufacturer and supplier. Like other industries, the aerospace sector faces a variety of new engineering challenges. How to significantly reduce time to market? How to successfully address the growing complexity of aircraft design and assembly? And how to guarantee that stringent aviation and space compliancy requirements are properly met?

The growing complexity of aircraft design leads to interdependent systems that not only necessitate far-reaching integration and continuous follow-up but also create new and more complex testing challenges.

Space system design involves meeting rigorous environmental constraints and stringent weight requirements. The payload must be able to withstand the pre-launch, the launch and flight path loading while delivering full functionality and avoiding damage to other critical components.

A few applications:

• 350kN Vibration Test for 5 ton Space Satellite Payload

• World Largest 700kN (Dual 350KN) Vibration Test for Space Vehicle Testing

• Vibration Fatigue for Landing Gear Shock Absorber
