Our development of an Automated Test System (ATS) for Proximity Sensor Electronic Units (PSEUs) in the aircraft industry required the implementation of a variable inductor. The variable inductor simulates inductive proximity sensors so the ATS can measure and verify the switch points of the electronics as the sensors move between their near and far states. Though developed for PSEU testing, the presented...
For Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE), the goal is to get planes in the air and ensure they land safely. Consequently, a high operational availability (Ao) is crucial to ALRE operations. In order to ensure high Ao, it is crucial that the amount of maintenance, both corrective and preventative, is kept to a minimum. Historically, improvements have been reactive in nature to satisfy the...
Few industries suffer the budget and scheduling challenges caused by test instrument obsolescence as often and as severely as the military and aerospace industries. Often, the need for a given automated test system outlives the practical life of the original instruments as well as the expectation, interest, and even the availability of the original system developers. System readiness is increased...
