Verotec wins flight simulator contract
Verotec has won a multi-year contract from a major North American manufacturer of flight simulators to supply more than 50,000 modified subrack front panels. 50 different designs of IEEE1101.10 compliant panels, modified variants of Verotec’s standard extruded aluminium panels, are needed in heights of 3U and 6U and in widths from 2 to 16HP.
The 2.5mm thick extruded aluminium panels have a clear conductive chromate finish and are fitted with inject/eject handles and stainless steel EMC gaskets. Each of the 50 modified panel designs is machined and silk screened to the customer’s specification to provide the HMI and connector interfaces required for each element of the simulator control systems.
To meet the requirements, Verotec has invested in excess of £120,000 to create an automated aluminium CAM machining centre in its Southampton, UK production facility. The investment enables complex 3D high precision machining and high volume batch processing to be undertaken.
The modified front panels are fitted to Verotec’s KM6-HD heavy duty subracks, which offer enhanced protection against the shock and vibration generated during the operation of the flight simulators. A custom, cPCI-based backplane, also designed and supplied by Verotec, completes the enclosure and internal interconnect subsystems.
