SPHEREA, designer of test solutions and associated services, presents the latest addition to the ATEC family: ATMOS, an automatic test bench (ATE) based on a generic core designed for testing electronic equipment with a reduced number of signals. ATEC ATMOS is a new, simple, and open test platform for
aerospace production and maintenance.
ATEC ATMOS meets a wide range of needs. It will be used primarily for avionics testing, but also for mechanical, mechatronic, and optronic applications, serving different purposes and markets.
ATEC ATMOS is compact, affordable, and open, and is compatible with customer hardware and software. Smart and connected, it seamlessly integrates with the SPHEREA software suite for advanced data exploitation. For greater efficiency, ATEC ATMOS is flexible thanks to its modular
architecture, all integrated into a single, simple platform to facilitate MRO operations worldwide.
With ATEC ATMOS, SPHEREA delivers a balance of testing performance, durability, and services—
distilled to its essence. Compact, intelligent, and easy-to-use, ATEC ATMOS adapts to the specific needs, applications, and ambitions of the aerospace industry—whether manufacturers or
maintenance providers—enabling sustainable production and maintenance while mobilizing only the necessary resources to optimize investment.
- ATEC Family : ATMOS is the latest addition to the
large ATEC family. It benefits from SPHEREA’s
expertise developed with ATEC, as well as from all
associated components, technologies, and services, with
guaranteed long-term availability. In fact, the ATEC
Series 6 (EIS 1993) is still supported today, with a
commitment to 15 years of continued service. The
ATEC Series 7 will be available for decades to come,
and ATEC ATMOS is already positioned for the next 20
years. - + Small : ATMOS is the champion of accessibility: it
features a compact design, an affordable budget,
simplified use, and energy efficiency. - + Open : ATMOS is compatible with various market test
software environments (TestStand, SMART, Visual, C
language, ATLAS, LabVIEW, etc.), as well as with the
ATEC Series family, and is based on COTS
instrumentation. It can also be equipped with a
cybersecurity drawer. - + Smart : ATMOS is easy to use, allowing efficient
development of test applications and effective utilization
of collected data. - + Flex: ATMOS is a modular, versatile, and flexible test
bench designed to meet virtually any requirement and
evolve according to needs.
“Today, we are taking on a new challenge by building on our ATEC expertise: making things simpler, more compact and more flexible for our customers to optimize performance in maintenance and support engineering through SPHEREA’s expertise. Indeed, ATMOS, by sharing the same instruments as ATEC, delivers identical performance,” said Olivier Sentier, head of products Lines SPHEREA.
“Our ambition: to complement, streamline and open up the ATEC range without compromising the quality that has made it renowned. We aim to make it more accessible while providing our customers with the same expertise and level of service, enabling them to test and maintain smaller
yet equally essential equipment. ATEC ATMOS integrates seamlessly into your processes
and adapts to your ecosystem to ensure reliability and longevity.”
