Design and Development of test benches


FADA-CATEC designs, manufactures, programs and implements test benches, mainly for aeronautical components such as actuators, levers, etc. The area is specialized in the development of benches that require a high degree of test automation, as well as benches for the testing of complex components. Examples of test benches developed are the A350XWB gas lever test bench and the FT4B C295 horizontal and vertical stabiliser hydraulic actuators. Benches have also been developed in the FALCON 7X program, amongst others, to validate on-board electromechanical actuators dedicated to auxiliary applications other than flight controls.
