ATA Engineering strengthens ties with Brüel & Kjær via PULSE
Engineering consultancy company ATA Engineering, Inc (ATA) has strengthened its ties with Brel & Kjr, with the procurement of a PULSE Data Acquisition and Analysis system.
ATA Engineering is an independent consultancy firm specialising in the design, testing and analysis of complex mechanical structures. ATA provides Brel & Kjr with engineering services, supporting Brel & Kjr with product design, marketing, applications and customer relations.
ATA Engineering has recently been named the winner of the 2012 George M. Low award; NASA's premier quality and performance award recognising excellence in the agency's contractors.
ATA's purchase of a 208-channel LAN-XI data acquisition system, to be used together with the Brel & Kjr PULSE Reflex suite of Structural Analysis applications, will provide ATA with state-of-the-art measurement and analysis tools for dynamic structural analysis.
Vice President of Test Services, ATA Engineering, Ralph Brillhart says: "Brel & Kjr's LAN-XI data acquisition hardware will enhance and expand ATA's ability to provide innovative structural dynamics test solutions to our customers. Unique features, such as distributed acquisition through Power over Ethernet and the NOTAR stand-alone recorder, will allow ATA to deliver services in new, flexible ways to our customers in the aerospace, entertainment and industrial equipment industries. Measurement quality and process efficiency are key to the value ATA provides. The technology and quality of Brel & Kjr's instruments and software are essential components to the services we provide our customers."
Since 2007 Brel & Kjr and ATA have collaborated on a number of industry application projects, such as the investigation of jet-plume noise and providing joint Brel & Kjr/ATA Ground Vibration Test (GVT) seminars in different countries.
Brel & Kjr's Global Key Account Manager, Patrick Wethly says: "With ATA Engineering's decision to acquire the PULSE LANXI hardware, we are further strengthening the relationship between our companies. ATA is involved in the design of our Structural PULSE Reflex solutions from a specification point of view and is also a supplier of domain knowledge, which we implement into our solutions under licence. For example, we offer ATA's AFPoly curve fitter to our customers as part of our modal test software solution. Furthermore, ATA is assisting Brel & Kjr on a global scale through our services, allowing us to combine ATA's "head-of-the-class' domain knowledge with our product portfolio."
