  • Complete hardware systems (with customised software) with
      - new test systems
      - upgrades to existing systems
      - servo-hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical actuators

  • Software for materials, component or product testing including
      - machine control
      - data acquisition
      - real time displays
      - data processing and results summaries

Example projects where MERL has provided test machine solutions include:

  • Servo-hydraulic control systems (for BMW, Volvo, Hydro Aluminium)
  • Multi-actuator control systems
  • Vibraphore control and data acquisition software
  • Dynamometer control and data acquisition systems
