Rate Tables

Motion simulation rate table is used to simulate the roll, pitch and yaw motion in the laboratory. This helps in accelerating the time to market for new products and lower overall research and development costs. They are also often use to calibrate test inertial systems, packages or cluster that are sensitive to motion in multiple axes.

The use of HardWare-In-The-Loop (HWIL) simulators during development of missiles can help reduce time and cost, by minimizing the number of field trials required. These simulators can be also used to test Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), Attitude Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), flight control systems, Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and platform stabilization devices.

A wide range of motion testing solutions are available but we also customized solutions tailored for a specific product and use, no matter what the requirements are, no matter what the application is.

 

Single Axis Rate and Position Tables

  • TMC S Series rate tables are designed to test gyroscopes, accelerometers, inertial navigation systems and many more. Our rate tables provide stimuli in the form of angular rates, accelerations and positions around one pivotal point.

  • Standard table top and slip ring configurations may be customized to meet specific customer requirements.

Two Axis Rate and Position Tables

  • The UT Series two axis test table system is designed for testing and calibration of inertial navigation systems. Both the table and tilt axes are servo controlled to provide precision position, rate and acceleration motion.

  • Standard table top and slip ring configurations may be customized to meet specific customer requirements.

Three Axis Motion Simulators

  • TMC UOO Series motion simulators are designed to test gyroscopes, inertial navigation systems and many more. All three axis are servo controlled to provide precision position, rate and acceleration motion.

  • Standard table top and slip ring configurations may be customized to meet specific customer requirements.

 

Five Axis Flight Motion
Simulators

  • 5-Axis motion simulators are specifically designed for the challenging needs of HWIL simulation of Infra-Red (IR), Laser and Electro-Optical (EO) missile systems, smart munitions, sensors and inertial systems.

    • Excellent position, rate, acceleration and bandwidth performance as well as high accuracy in all axes

    • Unlimited rotation electric drive on FMS inner axis and hydraulic drive for all other axes to deliver the high dynamic performance required for demanding HWIL simulations on agile missile systems

    • Slip-rings for data transmission to and from the Unit Under Test

Rate Table Combined with Environmental Testing Chamber

  • TMC offers rate table combined with temperature chamber, cooled and heated by customer supplied air flow, or by mechanical refrigeration. Being equipped with a climatic test chamber, the unit under test can be exposed to high or low temperature extremes. Cooling is accomplished by either mechanical or LN2 refrigeration and heating is provided by resistive heating elements.

    • Reliable performance and multiple protection for both rate table and chamber

    • Experimental modal analysis with variable models to choose and can also be customized

    • Increased/descresed rate/acceleration/bandwidth for high performance or lower cost
