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.

The Virtual EL/AZ/Roll Positioner represents the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning medium-duty subsystems. It offers enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size and incorporates new engineering advances.
Particularly suited for testing direction-finding antennas, the virtual elevation axis enables rotation of the DUT around its phase center, placing the mechanical support system behind the DUT. This feature maintains the center of the DUT in one place, while eliminating scattering and interference from the positioning structure.
- With an intensity of over 150 klx at 300 mm WD in continuous operation, the SL316 UltraSeal Spot Light delivers industry-leading intensity with consistent uniformity.
- Available with narrow, medium, and wide lensing options as well as a non-lensed configuration for high dispersion.
- Configurable in eleven wavelength options.
- Compatible with all Ai inline and discreet control systems. The SL316 can be operated in continuous, gated continuous, pulsed, and adaptive pulsed modes with dimming options for brightness control.
Systems are complete. They plug into an outlet and are ready to go. Our standard systems are 3U, which is 5.25″ and 5U, 8.75″. Systems are available with or without IEEE-488, RS-232 and Ethernet connectivity. Amplifiers Systems are available in both Broadband and Band-Specific frequencies. We are well-known in the industry for successfully adapting our amplifiers or custom designing new solutions to suit each unique project. Please refer to our Adapted & Custom Design Solutions link to begin formulating your performance objectives and other criteria.
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.
