We are supporting the dramatic efficiency improvement of the testing facility affected by the flood.
On June 7, 2008, the Applied Mechanics Lab of Cummins Inc., headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, suffered damage from flooding. Cummins is a global leader in the design and production of diesel engines and related technologies, offering a wide range of products from 3.3L small engines to high-power 78L large engines. The fatigue evaluation tests for engine components conducted in this lab have long utilized MTS application software, load frames, control systems, actuators, and hydraulic supply systems, but the flooding completely devastated the load frames, control devices, and hydraulic systems. In response to the recovery efforts, MTS service representatives acted very quickly from the start, swiftly identifying which equipment could be repaired and which needed replacement, and provided guidance on how to restart and resume operations in the shortest possible time. As a result, 13 MTS load frames were repaired and restored to like-new performance. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.
