AMETEK - Engineered Systems
When a catalog product cannot completely satisfy a requirement, AMETEK Programmable Power's Solutions Business provides custom power supply systems and integrations. The solutions range from OEM integration for medical and semiconductor industries to modular avionics ATE power subsystems to turnkey solar array simulators for satellites. We also can modify power supplies to meet your application requirements.
AMETEK Programmable Power Solutions is especially skilled at providing custom power supply solutions using existing technology and previously developed integration solutions. This approach provides maximum functionality, short lead times and maximum value. Here is a brief listing of some of the types of solutions we can provide:
Catalog product modifications include:
- OEM power supplies for heating or burn-in
- AC stimulus for current transformer and circuit breaker testing
- Solar Array Simulation for satellites
- PV emulation for inverter verification
- Power racks for high energy solid state lasers
- DC power source and regenerative load for avionics actuator and motor testing
- Save your time, money and resources and let AMETEK Programmable Power Solutions solve your custom power conversion challenges for you.

The Virtual EL/AZ/Roll Positioner represents the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning medium-duty subsystems. It offers enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size and incorporates new engineering advances.
Particularly suited for testing direction-finding antennas, the virtual elevation axis enables rotation of the DUT around its phase center, placing the mechanical support system behind the DUT. This feature maintains the center of the DUT in one place, while eliminating scattering and interference from the positioning structure.
Absolute EMC has designed low-cost pre-compliance systems to meet a wide range of RF emissions and immunity needs. Some form of pre-complaint testing is a must for any company that needs to demonstrate their product for EMC compliance. This enables companies to be responsive when issues happen and to also be proactive before going to the lab to better your chances of passing the first time.
- Precise programming of voltage and current slew rate for sensitive loads.
- Industrial field bus interfaces (Modbus-TCP, Modbus-RTU, Ethernet) enable real-time digital control.
- Built-in power quality monitoring detects and saves input voltage anomalies which can be saved for later diagnostic analysis.
- Programmable analog interface scaling facilitates integrating the ASD FLX with existing systems easily.
- Built-in energy meter calculates the delivered energy throughout a process or period.
- Optional real-time clock enables accurate timestamping of events.
MVG Performance Series heavy duty AZ/EL positioners represent the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning subsystems with turntable diameters up to 48.0 in (1,219 mm). They offer enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size and incorporate new engineering advances.
