Ideal Aerosmith Inc.

Ideal Aerosmith has been providing innovative test solutions since its founding in 1938 by a group of former airline maintenance personnel. Almost immediately, Ideal became well known in aviation maintenance shops for its reliable test equipment such as the Scorsby Table, Manual Tilt & Turn Table, and Rate-of-turn Table. During the early 1980s, Ideal developed its first automatic position and rate table system for Litton Industries. Ideal Aerosmith has now become a leader in providing precision motion simulation test systems to high-tech companies around the world.

In addition to a full line of motion systems, today's Ideal Aerosmith has expanded our capabilities to include full turnkey services in the design, manufacture, and field support of aerospace Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). Our skill set includes test system design and integration, test software development, test requirements definition, and Test Program Set (TPS) Development. We are proficient at obsolescence re-engineering to upgrade existing legacy test systems.

Ideal performs high-value contract and build-to-print manufacturing of test systems, fixtures, test adapters (ITAs), and cables. Ideal can provide test hardware and software design, as well as build-to-print electromechanical assembly.

In January 2005, Ideal Aerosmith hired almost all of the personnel from the former Carco Electronics, of Pittsburgh, PA and Menlo Park, CA. The addition of this experienced technical talent now allows Ideal Aerosmith to offer high precision rate and positioning systems, real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) motion control, and high-dynamic electric and hydraulic flight motion systems.

Ideal Aerosmith also offers full service, calibration, and upgrade support for all of its products as well as for legacy Carco Electronics and Contraves-Goerz electric and hydraulic rate tables and motion platforms.

We are committed to working closely with our customers during the entire product lifecycle. For example, we have the capability to deliver quality documentation in most drawing formats and to perform on-site installation and training anywhere it is needed. We have delivered high value custom-engineered test solutions ranging from ATE systems for testing weather radar transceivers, to 5-axis Hardware-in-the-Loop Missile Flight Motion Simulators.
