MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL ELECTRONICS
Measurement and control electronics are at the heart of STEP Lab testing systems. Designed to combine reliability and ease of use, they guarantee the efficiency and precision needed to tackle the most complex tests. High-performance solutions include: Test Manager, the controller for our machines, and Test Center, the software for managing and configuring our systems.
TEST CONTROLLER
STEP Lab’s Test Controller is the next-generation control platform that combines precision, modularity and cost-effectiveness. Thanks to its scalable architecture, it adapts to both current and future testing needs, making it the most reliable choice for laboratories, R&D departments and production lines.
Scalable and modular design
Choose the configuration that best suits your laboratory from 4 different platforms, based on:
- Maximum number of axes to be controlled
- Loop frequency for control and acquisition
- Additional input/output channels for greater flexibility and integration
The modular design ensures future scalability: you can expand functionality, reconfigure channels or add new components without having to replace the entire system.
Industry-leading performance
- Control frequency: up to 16 kHz, the highest in the industry
- Protocol: fully digital, Real-Time EtherCAT
- Accuracy: 24-bit control channels for ultra-precise measurements
- Robustness: control units and I/O cards designed to withstand the harshest industrial environments
These features guarantee real-time response, accurate feedback and reliable results in every application.
Applications in various sectors
The versatility of TestController makes it the ideal solution for a wide range of sectors and
testing scenarios, including:
- Aerospace & Automotive: fatigue, durability and performance simulations
- Biomedical: advanced testing on materials and implants
- Manufacturing: structural integrity validation and EOL testing
Integrated safety and reliability
Each TestController system is equipped with integrated protection features to safeguard
both samples and equipment.
- Automatic system monitoring
- Protection during high-force or high-speed testing
- Fail-safe architecture for uninterrupted operations
Complete peace of mind, even under the most demanding test conditions.
