Test Benches
Atec has made test equipment throughout all of its 65-year history. Test benches for aerospace and energy uses represent a significant segment of our experience. Atec has produced test benches involving hydraulics, mechanicals, electromechanicals, electronics, pneumatics, motors, and digital automation. Atec test benches have performed for challenging measurements, factory production, problem analysis and component overhaul scenarios. Today, complex test benches have capable data acquisition, control and communication systems integral in their electronics. Atec’s ADAQ™ system, based on COTS components and software, is proven and popular in test bench applications. DCUs, ECUs, FADECs and earlier analog or mechanical control units are easily interfaced.

Engine Test Adapters
Atec has built test adapters for a wide variety of engines from high bypass fan engines to small APU engines. Testing a new engine type in your existing jet engine test cell can be challenging, and upgrade modifications will be needed. Atec does not view an adapter as just a mechanical weldment that simply mates the engine to the aeroengine thrust stand. Our engineers realize that additional items will be needed in the facility to insure total project success. During the planning phase, Atec engineers can visit your existing facility and/or review videos to make a comprehensive assessment of the integration needed to add a new engine type to your testing facility. Atec can perform airflow, acoustics, FEA and sub systems analyses to ensure that any new engine added to your jet engine test cell will have the proper capacity to perform properly. Vital Link’s current experience with advanced fighter engines test adapter kits further bolsters our expertise in high thrust engine test handling.
