Hardware-in-the-loop systems and digital twins

Fast access to high-quality products

Hardware-in-the-loop systems are versatile. Their purpose is to shorten development times and minimize risk during development.

Do you have a prototype and want to test it in as realistic an environment as possible to ensure the quality of your future series? Do you want to integrate new functions into your device and test it in as many applications as possible? Do you want to test a control system realistically in parallel to your other development activities in order to save development time? Before we used HiL systems for our developments, time was always a critical factor. Now it still is, because we can implement many other ideas in the same time.

If any of these questions apply to you, HiL applications are the right choice for you.

We have several HiL systems for different applications in our portfolio. DC and AC applications up to 400 kW or 400 kVA and a maximum of 1500V are currently possible. An expansion of our systems is planned. Our tests relate to power electronic systems and test benches for electrical machines.

We develop the models for tests and automated test sequences for our developments as well as for our partners from industry and research.

We are currently also developing power amplifiers for HiL tests in order to further increase the dynamics of the tests and enable test options in the high frequency range (> 5kHz). In addition to clocked power amplifiers, we will soon also have a hybrid amplifier (clocked and analog).

We would be happy to save you development time, implement ideas with you and help you expand your product portfolio. Get in touch with us.
