ensuring aircraft seat reliability
To ensure the functionality and safety of its
aircraft seats, Recaro Aircraft Seating, a
leading global aircraft seat manufacturer,
needs to perform numerous lifecycle tests.
Each lifecycle test requires specific setup
conditions and various instruments and
actuators to simulate a lifetime of wear and
tear inflicted on aircraft seats.
Initially Recaro outsourced its lifecycle
testing to an independent lab. But to create a
more streamlined test process, Recaro
brought its testing into a single in-house
system. Working with test systems integrator
G Systems, the company developed a fully
scalable hardware and software solution that
can run continuously and reliably for weeks.
The flexible control platform for the test
system consists of modular hardware and
real-time control software. The modularity of
the new test system can be easily configured
to run multiple test conditions using a variety
of sensors and test limits. The system has
been in service for nine years and recently G

Gauging and tooling solutions provider
Marposs aims to become a leader in the
aerospace industry through the application of
its expertise, knowledge and adherence to
high quality standards.
Timing is vital in aerospace programs and
Marposs therefore provides the resources
and the know-how to help all aerospace
customers introduce gauging, monitoring or
tooling solutions to their operations without
experiencing any downtime. This can be
achieved thanks to a long-standing policy
based on working closely with engineering
teams in order to adjust to their
manufacturing schedules.
Marposs’ gauging systems are explicitly
designed on ISO standards in order to create
quality systems that conform and exceed
those identified by the aerospace industry.
From physical touch to laser vision, they
provide the data needed by engineers and by
operators to enable them to review the
quality of their operations.

Systems implemented an upgrade that allows
the system to perform up to four different
tests simultaneously, greatly improving
Recaro’s testing throughput.
Additionally, the system software is simple
to maintain and highly intuitive. It can be
operated by both technicians and engineers.
Users can configure tests and view data in
real time through a custom graphical user
interface installed on a PC. Recaro engineers
can monitor test progress and, if authorized,
pause or cancel tests remotely through a
Web-based dashboard.
With the Recaro aircraft seat life-cycle
test system G Systems has developed,
Recaro technicians and engineers can
complete lifecycle testing faster than
before, more economically and reliably. By
testing in-house with this new system,
Recaro can perform tests reliably for
weeks at a time, access test feedback more
quickly, and reconfigure test systems for
different seat models.. \\
