ETPS
ETPS specialise in programmable power supplies and test systems. Our wide selection of products caters for almost any power, voltage or current requirement. Specific ranges include programmable AC & DC sources, battery/capacitor emulators, chargers, four quadrant grid simulators, electronic loads, battery/capacitor cyclers and drive cycle test equipment.
At the conference we will be showcasing our G5-RSS bidirectional DC power systems. With two current ranges for high accuracy, the G5-RSS is ideal for cycling energy storage devices. The module’s ultra-fast dynamics with switchable capacitance allows accurate simulation of batteries and capacitors. A current step between 90% sourcing to 90% sinking can be as quick as 50us, enabling high speed drives to be supplied. Modules start at 9kW and can be arranged in series, parallel or matrix configurations. Outputs up to 3000V/89kA are possible into the megawatt range. Outputs with +/- voltage around a central earth are possible, ideal for aerospace research.

Teledyne LeCroy
Teledyne LeCroy is a leading provider of oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers and related test and measurement solutions that enable companies across a wide range of industries to design and test electronic devices of all types.
Since our founding in 1964, we have focused on creating products that improve productivity by helping engineers resolve design issues faster and more effectively. Oscilloscopes are tools used by designers and engineers to measure and analyze complex electronic signals in order to develop high-performance systems and to validate electronic designs in order to improve time to market.
Protocol analyzers are tools used by designers and engineers to generate and monitor traffic over high speed serial data interfaces, including DDR, PCI Express, Fibre Channel, Serial ATA, SAS, USB and others. Both products are critical in the development of a wide variety of demanding design applications.
Torquemeters
Pioneers in test driveline development, Torquemeters is a long-established company, specialising in the design and manufacture of high-performance power transmission and measurement systems, which are used by many of the world’s leading aerospace & industrial turbomachinery companies and independent R&D organisations.
Over the past 70 years, Torquemeters has been a leading proponent of high-performance driveline design and manufacture for some of the most demanding developmental testing applications, particularly for turbine, compressor, and engine testing within the aerospace industry. Responsible for the innovation of the first phase-shift torquemeters, Torquemeters today supplies a number of the key performance-critical components that enable complex drivelines to manage thermal expansion, misalignment, thrust compensation and over-torque/over-speed protection for a high temperature, high-speed test article development. This product suite includes high-speed/high-power torquemeters, inline thrust balance systems, spindles, flywheels and freewheel clutches, in addition to a range of low mass overhang discpack & diaphragm couplings.
