Delta Motion Controller Helps ADI Improve Automotive Chassis Testing

There’s a science to testing metal structures for rigidity and performance under stress. The development of new testing methodologies is continuing at a fast pace, aided by innovations in supporting technologies. For example, motion controllers have evolved to support special capabilities for exerting real-world forces on structures that can deliver, in a matter of hours or days, the loads and movement that assemblies would otherwise encounter in a whole lifetime of use. And motion control electronics connected to hydraulic or electromechanical actuators can submit assemblies to stresses and measure responses in a “clean” environment that would be difficult or expensive to accomplish in the field.
