Moog's Integrated Test Suite Software Simplifies Complex Set-Ups
East Aurora, NY, USA, - Moog's new "Integrated Test Suite" software lets users run a large number of basic and sophisticated tests with less reliance on test operators and specialists. The software, with its advanced algorithms, state-of-the-art workflow and a centralized database of tests and test data, enables engineers to set up and run tests quickly and efficiently anywhere in the world.
The test suite leverages the world class performance of Moog hardware - electric and hydraulic systems, servo valves, drives and motors, and test actuators and controllers. Features include flexible support of electric and hydraulic test systems, highly intuitive screens, ease of use for basic tests and junior operators, integrated modules for complex tests, and customizable screens to match specific processes.
The flexible software architecture offered in the test suite is designed around how customers use test software, and lets them add more features as their programs mature. It provides access to four modules: Runner (to run and control tests), Replication (state of the art algorithms that replicate time history files), Sinesweep (to allow investigations on test specimen resonance frequencies) and Random Vibration (to produce a predefined frequency spectrum using fully randomized time signals).
All Moog test applications use the sidebar from the Integrated Test Suite, a powerful tool that allows the user to connect to a controller and then monitor and control it. It also facilitates creation, editing and running of controller scripts. From the sidebar, all controller properties can be accessed, changed and monitored. Monitoring can be done using digital, graphical or oscilloscope-based displays.
Each module can be used independently or combined as user requirements change. The same module can be used for different test systems in the test lab. "Most importantly, test data can be centrally accessed, which dramatically improves testing speed," says Pim van den Dijssel, business manager Europe for Moog.
The test suite supports multiple test systems. These include Moog's multi-axis test systems, hydraulic and electric simulation tables, its suspension test rig and its tyre coupled simulation system. Its central database allows easy exchange of information between different software applications and external systems.
