Pyro Test System

Pyro Test System

The Pyro Test Setup (PTS) is a mission-critical system designed for the qualification and acceptance of missile pyrotechnic devices. As pyro initiators are vital to missile ignition, every production LOT must undergo rigorous acceptance tests to ensure safety, accuracy, and reliability.

The PTS provides a controlled environment to conduct these tests with high precision, stability, and repeatability, making it an indispensable tool for validating production batches of pyrotechnic devices.

Core Modules

Each setup supports dual-channel testing, allowing two pyro devices to be evaluated simultaneously.

Key Capabilities:

  • Automated acceptance testing of production pyro LOTs.
  • Configurable constant current injection with digital accuracy.
  • Real-time monitoring of pressure, temperature (optional), current, and flash signals.
  • High-speed DAQ with 24-bit resolution and time-stamped data logging.
  • Dual-channel operation for simultaneous pyro testing.
  • PC interface for configuration, graphing, raw data export (CSV/XLS), and printable reports.
  • Built-in self-calibration routines to ensure consistent accuracy.
