AeroWorx Adds AVRplus Generator Test Stand

Torrance, Calif.-based AeroWorx has completed the installation of the latest generation AVRplus K838AX generator test stand from Avtron Aerospace. The new stand is ideal for repair, overhaul and return-to-service testing of all types of aircraft AC and DC generators. The system supports a wide variety of equipment, including main, auxiliary and APU generators and DC starters for business jets, commercial and military airplanes and helicopters.

The AVRplus test stand replaces flight-worthy generator control units (GCU) for testing generators and other equipment. This flexible and adaptable test system can replace 100 different GCUs to help reduce the cost and complexity of testing. A single software tool is used to download GCU emulation personalities, update firmware and perform calibration and maintenance all through a serial port further streamlining testing procedures.

“This new generator test equipment greatly enhances our ability to serve our customers around the world,” said AeroWorx president Gary Furlong.
