Providing the ability to quickly and safely release energy from test equipment to major military aircraft manufacturers.
MTS provided support for incorporating Active Load Abort (ALA) systems into each test fixture used by Airbus Military for the Airbus A400M transport aircraft. ALA technology is ideal for protecting test specimens, as it enhances control to remove loads from structural test systems in the event of power outages or system interlocks. During such events, regardless of changes in pressure or the position of each shaker, the ALA system performs measurements and simultaneously reduces the loads of all shakers to a neutral state at both the software and hardware levels. Additionally, while lowering the hydraulic pressure on the specimen, an independent control system is activated in parallel with the load control system, taking into account the overall state of the test. This system detects faults on the control side and adjusts to ensure that loads are quickly and evenly removed from the entire specimen. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.
