Test Stands

You need a partner who understands how to design and develop test stands that make you money—someone with all the skillsets in house and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in all things test stands and test benches. From helicopter transmission test stands to power unit test benches, we know how to incorporate the latest technologies with the ability to properly interpret deep specifications.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. Properly interpreting specifications
2. Can combine hydraulics, controls theory and rigorous machine design principles
3. Experts in a wide variety of sensors, their uses and applications
4. Vibration isolation techniques
5. Creating user friendly machines that are easy to operate, maintain and are mistake proof

Common pitfalls of test stand equipment that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Not paying enough attention to how the operator will interface with the machine and unit under test
2. Not giving attention to the ergonomics of the system
3. Not considering the effects of load and vibration on the system

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued failed test stand projects, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make great test stands.

Our automated metrology and test stand process starts with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in a custom system. You want a bespoke custom metrology or test stand solution tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your automated metrology and test stand solution can get built and you can get that win.
