About Us
 Automation Technology Inc. was founded in February 1982. During the first few years, ATI manufactured custom built test equipment primarily for the electric motor manufacturing industry. As a manufacturer of custom built equipment, it quickly became clear the drawbacks associated with building custom equipment. Some of these drawbacks included long lead times, high costs (and in turn, high prices), and difficulty with service and support.
It was evident that what the industry needed was a standardized test system packed full of "standard" features to accommodate nearly any testing requirement for a particular product category (i.e. stators, armatures, motors, rotors, etc.). With this goal, the people of ATI went to work developing "standardized" test systems. Today, with systems installed around the world, ATI offers the industry's most advanced line of testing equipment:
- ACT-3800 PC Based Test System for Testing AC Powered Products
- ATS-3800 PC Based Armature Test System
- CTS-3800 PC Based Compressor Test System
- MTS-3800 PC Based Digitorque® Motor Test System
- RTS-3800 PC Based Rotor Test System
- STS-3800 PC Based Stator or Field Test System with MagMap®
- SBTS-3800 PC Based Stator Bondable Wire Process and Test System
- S-100 Benchtop Surge Test System with Corona Detection
- TCR-100 Turns Counter/Resistance Meter
- SWD Series Scratched Wire Detector
- ETS-3800 Encoder Test System
- New! PTS-3800 Pump Test System
ATI also manufactures test equipment for many other testing requirements (i.e. Power Tools, Appliances, Aerospace, Core Loss, Transmissions, Brakes, Thermostats, etc.) Please Contact ATI for any application.
For most testing applications, a standard ATI Test Console can be utilized with a Standard or custom designed ATI Test Fixture.
Every year ATI invests countless hours and resources into research and engineering. Through this on-going effort, ATI has been able to identify many problems in the motor manufacturing process that previously had gone undetected, as well as discover solutions to problems that the industry has faced for many years. Through this research and practical experience, ATI has accumulated a vast amount of expertise in the motor testing industry, with a number of issued patents. Through our continued commitment to R&E, we will remain the industry leader well into the twenty-first century.
Automation Technology currently occupies a 20,000 square foot facility in Dayton, Ohio. ATI employs experts in many different areas including software development, hardware development, electrical design/assembly, mechanical design/manufacturing as well as many more. ATI's team of experts can assist you in all your test and measurement systems applications.
