Spin Test Services
|
BSi's in-house spin test facilities incorporate the company's F.A.S.T.
(Full Authority Spin Testing) control system.
F.A.S.T. is the most advanced control system made for spin testing.
The control system incorporates:
- A TC-3 drive controller with unparalleled speed control
- A custom designed and programmed computer system, providing equipment control and data acquisition functions
- Cyclic spin tests that operate completely unmanned, 24 hours per day
- Monitoring of all critical test parameters with automatic response to any occurrence during a spin test
- Maximized safety for your personnel and your equipment
The BSi system allows remote access for monitoring and even control through the use of modems.
This allows personnel to track a critical test's progress around the clock.
If a test is interrupted, data is recorded for analysis. If it is determined that a test can continue,
the test can be restarted from the remote location.
Final test data is supplied to you in printed reports or on computer diskette.
