Drive Testing – This test is performed using a motor undersized for the controller and at a lower speed. The motor is slowly brought up to full speed and closely monitored.

Dynamometers – Once the initial testing is complete, the drive is then installed on a dynamometer appropriate to its size. A dynamometer is a specialized braking device that creates a load by using two motors coupled together, which turn in opposite directions and present resistance to each other.

Custom-Engineered Test Stands – Many electronic devices work in what is called a closed-loop system. A brief definition of this is any device that requires a feedback response from another device to perform its function. Applications such as servo, computing, process control and robotics all use some form of communication to perform tasks within a machine’s operation.

Without this connectivity, very little of a device’s function can be tested. We continually engineer test stands to ensure function on all models and manufacturers we service.

These test stands include the following:
