Research & Development Test Rig & Facility Safety System
The Scope
One of our Aerospace customers had a requirement to produce a bespoke Test rig to prove a pioneering concept that might remove the need for nitrogen tanks to be carried on planes.
The Solution
The concept had only been successfully completed on a computer simulation, and on a very small scale previously. We integrated a Beckhoff control, DAQ and safety system, with a LabVIEW based front end for the user interface. The test screens allow for fine control of the system but was overridden by the extensive Rig safety system. The Rig was fully compliant and was passed off and CE marked by Pilz. Due to the potential volatility of the reaction with this new concept, we also implemented an overall facility safety system which pulled together the various sub systems, including Gas monitor, fire suppression, and Nitrogen purge system.
The Outcome
We delivered a test rig which successfully created the required conditions and proved that the concept worked.
