When off-the-shelf commercial instruments cannot satisfy complex electrical, mechanical, or automated system integration constraints, AMETEK Programmable Power’s Solutions Engineering team designs and integrates custom engineered power systems. From high-purity OEM power racks deployed in semiconductor fabs to turnkey Solar Array Simulators (SAS) for space mission validation, our systems deliver low risk, proven reliability, and complete compliance with aerospace, military, and international industrial standards.
Building complex power test benches internally increases program risk, overhead, and time-to-market. AMETEK mitigates these challenges by combining proven commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) subroutines with tailored hardware integrations, proprietary control software, and custom mechanical enclosures.
Tailored electrical behavior, custom firmware routines, specialized connectors, and modified voltage/current dynamic ranges built specifically around your device-under-test (DUT).
Complete ATE integration including multi-channel power distribution units (PDUs), emergency-off (EMO) safety interlocks, automated thermal management, and consolidated LXI/SCPI controls.
High-speed solar array simulation, satellite battery string emulation, dynamic I-V curve generation, and spacecraft power bus stimulus engineered for mission-critical hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) platforms.
Dedicated high-purity DC power supplies engineered for wafer electro-polishing, thin-film thermal evaporation, vacuum furnace heaters, and precision laser diode stack drivers.

Review technical queries regarding custom power engineering, system procurement, and ATE integration.
Engineered power systems are purpose-built power delivery and test platforms created when commercial off-the-shelf power supplies cannot satisfy specific electrical, thermal, structural, or automation requirements. AMETEK integrates modular instrumentation, power switching distribution, interlocks, and remote software control into turnkey, factory-certified rack configurations.
Custom engineered integration is recommended when your testing demands multi-source sequencing, hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) simulation, extreme energy absorption, high-purity process power, or compliance with specialized military (MIL-STD-704/461) and aerospace qualification programs.
Unlike a standard constant-voltage/constant-current DC power supply, a Solar Array Simulator precisely emulates the unique non-linear Current-Voltage (I-V) output curve of a solar panel. It reacts dynamically to change operational points, solar irradiance, temperature variations, and eclipse transitions, enabling accurate testing of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) regulators.
All engineered systems are developed in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 certified quality management frameworks. Systems incorporate automated safety interlocks, over-voltage/over-current hardware protection, thermal monitoring, and comprehensive factory acceptance testing (FAT) prior to global dispatch.
