Thomas Electronics has developed an innovative range of stand-alone avionic CRT and LCD Display Units (DU) and related test equipment. The Thomas Electronics testers allow the maintenance operator to run and troubleshoot the LRU offline from the costly Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), enabling ATE resources to be freed up for more intensive purposes.
Thomas has developed a high-quality CRT Burn-In Station to assist in the burning-in of “Un-Burnt” CRT Assemblies. These “Un-Burnt” assemblies can be purchased at a signficantly reduced price from OEMs, but typically require the use of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) for burning-in, and to make the unit operational. The ATE is a costly but multi-functional device, of which the burn-in process is just one capability. Thomas’ CRT Burn-In Station has been developed as a cost-effective alternative, allowing Airline Operators and MROs to take advantage of the cost-savings from Un-Burnt CRT Assemblies, while freeing up their ATEs for more intensive processes. The TVS503 Burn-In Station can operate the CRT Assembly independently of the ATE and LRU. This allows load on the ATE to be reduced, and provides Airline Operators with an affordable alternative to purchasing additional ATEs, or operating additional shifts. |
Thomas’ Avionics Display Bench Tester is a platform specifically designed to test the DU7000 Integrated Display Unit (IDU) independent of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). Initial trouble-shooting and setup procedures for the IDU are lengthy processes that take up capacity on ATEs which could otherwise be used for more intensive applications. The Avionics Display Bench Tester is specifically designed for the DU7000 IDU testing process alone, providing Airline Operators and MROs with increased IDU testing capacity while reducing the load on ATE platforms. The TEA112 DU7000 Bench Tester can operate the IDU independently of the ATE, enabling ATEs to be used more efficiently and offering significant cost-savings. |
