Since 1966, MTS Systems Corporation has been the world’s leading supplier of mechanical testing and simulation equipment. Whether it’s used to test delicate electronics or to reproduce the force of an earthquake, MTS equipment helps ensure the quality and safety of countless products and structures used everyday by people throughout the world.

The building-block technologies and business processes that make up the foundation of our business include measurement and control instrumentation, application software, structural design, systems engineering, and project management. Our customers include the world’s industrial companies and government and university laboratories. Please see our websites for additional information: www.mts.com, www.mtspt.com, or www.mtssensors.com.

Currently, we have two primary application areas:

Mechanical Testing & Simulation

• Ground Vehicles Testing & Simulation (located at MTS Corporate offices, Noise and Vibration Division and Powertrain Technology Division)
  Our ground vehicle customers include automobile, truck, motorcycle, and off-road vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers. We offer seven types of system solutions to these customers: advanced data acquisition and control systems for dynamometer testing of engines and drive trains; combustion analysis systems for engine development and testing; durability systems that produce wear and failure data under accelerated service conditions; vehicle and occupant impact simulators for crash and safety testing; performance systems to determine ride and handling characteristics; noise, vibration, and harshness testing systems to help evaluate ride quality; and motion platform subsystems for human factors research.

• Advanced Engineering Solutions (located at MTS Corporate offices)
  Because our systems engineering expertise has applications beyond our established niches, we are continually looking for new application opportunities. Maintaining and exploiting these opportunities is the thrust of our advanced engineering solutions effort. Applications can be found in mechanical testing and simulation research, manufacturing, and elsewhere. Examples of recent custom projects include ocean wave simulators, laser-based material processing systems, and major amusement park rides.

• Materials and Consumer Products Testing (located at MTS Corporate offices and MTD Raleigh)
  Material and product testing laboratories in diverse industries need to perform tests on many types of materials, including metals, plastics, composites, and textiles, as well as industrial and consumer products. Our systems are also used by developers and manufacturers of medical devices to test a broad range of medical and dental implants and prostheses. Our full line of testing products helps customers perform tests required to gain critical information about how materials perform and to develop higher quality products for their specific markets.

• Aerospace Testing & Simulation (located at MTS Corporate offices)
  Using MTS testing equipment, aerospace engineers evaluate the strength of lightweight advanced materials, the durability of landing gear, the structural integrity of wings and other substructures, and the performance of propulsion systems and other flight vehicle components. Such testing helps the industry produce aircraft that meet safety certification standards and performance requirements and are more economical to operate.

• Civil Engineering Testing & Simulation (located at MTS Corporate offices)
  Designing bridges, dams, roads, and other infrastructure requires a thorough understanding of the mechanical properties of structures and diverse materials, including rock, soil, concrete, and other cement-based materials. We provide a comprehensive range of solutions for civil engineering needs, from low-force and high-force geomaterial testing systems to fully integrated structural testing laboratories including large-scale seismic (earthquake) simulation tables.

• Automation (located at MTS Corporate offices)
  Our servo motors, amplifiers, and controllers help manufacturing industries automate their production machinery. Our products are applicable to machine tools, packaging machines, and other production equipment where control of motion is critical to production speed and quality. Using advanced magnetic technology in a unique scalable design, we provide custom servo motor solutions that meet demanding speed, torque, and size requirements. Machine designers use our products to replace complex assemblies of gears, pulleys, cranks, and transmissions to improve production efficiency and reliability.

• Measurement (located at Sensors Division)
  For precise measurement of production variables, we offer two lines of sensors-Temposonics Position Sensors and Level Plus Liquid Level Gauges based on our core technology of magnetostriction. Temposonics sensors measure physical displacement over lengths up to twenty-five feet. They are used by manufacturers of injection molding and die casting machines, printing and packaging machines, and many other types of equipment. Our liquid-level sensors and instrumentation are used to sense liquid levels up to sixty feet. Customers include fluid processing companies, such as refineries and chemical plants, as well as retail gas stations.
