Web Deflection Mapping Software

Operators of large industrial engines are able to measure the deflection of a single segment of a crankshaft (known as a web) to determine that web’s stress on the shaft. Unfortunately the operators that contracted

Acoustic Modeling Software

A section of 6 full-time technicians was simulating compressor-piping interaction using a huge number of electronic components (capacitors, inductors, etc.) to predict where acoustical resonances could cause structural failures. This labor-intensive technique took a team

Real-Time Engine Control

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires large engines to meet strict pollution-emission requirements to be certified roadworthy. Engine manufacturers don’t need to test every engine, just a particular design. Thus having the test equipment to

Electrostatic Monitoring

For most of us, electrostatic is an occasional nuisance; a bother when the clothes come out of the dryer, or a surprise when we touch the doorknob. In the electronics manufacturing industry, though, it’s a

On-Site DAS

A group of engineers doing on-site diagnostics of compressors, turbines, electric motors, and a variety of other industrial machines used to carry an array of heavy, bulky, single-function electronic tools that used individual and incompatible
