Test Cell / Test Stand Measurement & Control

imc DataWorks specializes in multi-parameter, mixed-signal mechanical data acquisition, measurement, and control. This includes testing and validation of the Mechanical, Electromechanical and Mechatronic properties common to most manufacturing, QC/QA, and R&D Test Stands, Test Cells, and benchtop tests.

While this covers a lot of ground, there are key requirements to all Test Stands we are involved in

Customer Profile GearBox Test Stand

Class Counting in Gear Box Testing

For its newly equipped automatic test rigs, Ford has chosen imc technology to acquire and evaluate gear box life cycle data. From the ten acquisition channels, real time calculations are used to create up to 64 class counting matricies during the test run.
