Aeroflex announced that Liebherr Group, one of the world's largest manufacturers of construction machinery, has ordered Aeroflex’s 5800 Series multi-configuration, multi-function Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) system. The Germany-based Liebherr Group plans to use the 5800 Series to test the control units for its electronic equipment used for aviation, construction cranes, earth-moving and transport products.
Flexibility and PXI open architecture were key reasons Liebherr chose Aeroflex’s 5800 Series over closed-architecture systems. With the 5800 Series, Liebherr can customize the Aeroflex ATE system with components from other suppliers and tailor the test system exactly to its needs. The 5800 Series’ modular PXI architecture offers easy integration and future expansion.
