In the AERO 3500, Ideal Aerosmith continues to adhere to its long-standing philosophy of using COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) technology so that all of its motion-based test systems will benefit customers by providing the lowest life-cycle cost of ownership. Even for systems controlled by newer generation digital controllers, upgrading to the AERO 3500 improves reliability while extending the support life. It also shares the same software architecture as the AERO 4000 so customers can easily operate both AERO 3500 systems and AERO 4000 systems.
