5-Axis Hardware-In-the-loop Systems
Combining a 3-Axis Flight Motion Simulator (FMS) with a 2-Axis Target Motion Simulator (TMS) leads to a 5-Axis motion simulator design. This allows comprehensive HardWare-In-the-Loop tests (HWIL) for testing and development of guided missiles, munitions and other inertial systems. Almost 100% of all HWIL systems worldwide delivered over the last 50 years have been designed and built by ACUTRONIC and CARCO Electronics.

Acceleration Testing
The acceleration test is performed on a centrifuge to assure that material can structurally withstand the steady state inertia loads that are induced by platform acceleration, deceleration, and maneuver in the service environment, and can function without degradation during and following exposure to these forces. Acceleration tests are also used to assure that material does not become hazardous after exposure to crash loads. The acceleration test method is applicable to material that is installed in mobile platforms such as aircraft, helicopters, aerospace vehicles, air-carried stores, ground-launched missiles, trains, ships, automotive vehicles, etc.

Accelerometers
Columbia Research Laboratories
The force balance accelerometer has a classical critically-damped, second-order frequency response. There is no peaking in the response but simply a smooth roll-off above the natural frequency. This property along with the excellent characteristics of the "HP" torquer design makes Columbia accelerometers the best choice for demanding applications where precise DC and near-DC measurements are needed in demanding shock and wide band vibration environments. Columbia force balance accelerometers are...show more -
