Motion Products

Ideal Aerosmith is the premier supplier of state-of-the-art direct-drive electric and hydraulic motion systems to support the development, testing and evaluation of inertial navigation devices and guidance systems required by the commercial and defense markets.

Our Motion Simulation Test Systems are designed to test single and multi-axis inertial systems such as Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), Attitude Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), MEMS inertial sensors, accelerometers, flight control systems, Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), and platform stabilization devices.

Ideal’s Flight Motion Simulation Systems include real-time Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) motion control instrumentation, high-dynamic electric and hydraulic flight motion systems along with target motion systems. Our flight and target motion systems are key components throughout the development and testing of infrared, laser, RF guided weapon systems such as missiles and smart munitions.

Most of Ideal’s motion simulation systems are configured with the AERO 4000™ Digital Motion Controller.

This controller is Ideal Aerosmith’s flagship controller and an essential component of the precision or high-dynamic motion simulation systems. Our AERO 4000™ Controller is built upon commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software platforms to minimize cost and delivery schedules, as well as to provide Ideal’s customers with a product that does not lock them into proprietary technology and single-source part vendors.

Ideal’s Aircraft Instrument Test Equipment is the standard in the aviation maintenance industry. Our test equipment is primarily used for inspection, evaluation, qualification and/or calibration testing of various types of aircraft instrumentation components such as gyroscopes, inertial instruments, pressure-sensitive instruments, tachometer indicators/generators and weather-radar systems. This includes Scorsby Tables, Tachometer Testers, Pressure/Vacuum Instrument Chambers, manual Tilt and Turn Tables, and a single-axis rate table.

Ideal Aerosmith also offers full service, calibration, refurbishments and upgrade support for our products and also for legacy Owens-Illinois, Genisco/Triotech, Carco Electronics, Contraves-Goerz, and Contraves electric and hydraulic motion tables and platforms.

Ideal strengthened its motion product and flight motion simulation capabilities in January 2005, when Ideal hired all of the former Carco Electronics - Menlo Park division employees and a majority of the Pittsburgh division employees. Ideal Aerosmith is uniquely qualified to design, fabricate, install, and commission motion systems required within the aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial markets.

Ideal’s motion product staff works closely with our Test Services Division to provide innovative “Test Solutions” that include full turn-key services in the design, manufacture and field support of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) for our customers. Our skill set includes test software development, test requirements definition, and Test Program Set (TPS) Development. We are proficient at obsolescence re-engineering to upgrade any existing legacy test systems.

Please contact us to discuss your motion simulation or test equipment requirements or to discuss a possible upgrade to the performance and reliability of your existing electric or hydraulic motion simulator or centrifuge.
