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.

Customers can leverage our multi-tier approach to customization to reduce engineering costs.
- Our adaptable Build-to-Order (BTO) system provides for very short lead times and allows a product to be configured from a large set of predetermined parameters, with hundreds of thousands of BTO combinations available. BTO products are indicated in the product data-sheet and are shipped within 1-3 weeks, depending on the product.
- Our Semi-Custom products require some additional design and documentation effort but can be a smart choice when more flexibility is required.
- Lastly, a full Custom product can be developed when your budget and time frame allows. This option supplies you with a fully custom-designed and built lighting solution that will be engineered to fit your exact machine vision needs.
