ATG’s engineering and product development specialists continue to explore and develop new measurement techniques and systems. This technology is moving rapidly to the forefront of the sensing world, and with our understanding and appreciation for the turbine engine test and development environment, we continue to advance the effective implementation of these products into many practical applications. An example of this is ATG’s Active Surge Control. Active Surge Control is a patented ATG technology designed for gas turbine engines to improve SFC, increase horsepower-to-weight ratios, increase performance, improve in-flight safety and provide tremendous cost savings. Fiber Optic sensor technology measures wavelength at ultra high frequencies and time calculations to determine temperature, strain and vibration. Due to the miniature size and the ability of the technology to carry multiple sensors on the same fiber, the measurements of temperature, pressure, strain, vibration and displacement can be obtained in the hostile environments associated with Gas Turbine Engines. No other technology available is capable of obtaining this type of measurement. Testing Data: |

Rotorcraft Demo Video
Cleveland Electric Labs Advanced Technologies Group demonstrates control of a helicopter rotor with fiber optic sensors. Fiber optic sensors are immune to EMI and RFI and up to 80 sensors of various types can be multiplexed onto two fibers. The demonstration shows CEL ATG’s patented fiber optic rotary position sensors and a fiber optic rotary joint controlling the rotor speed, blade pitch and blade position.
