Psylotech Inc
About

Psylotech's mission is to enable experimentalists to perform novel and valuable test methods. The company started by inventing technologies to address experimental challenges specific to dynamic mechanical analyzers. We have evolved by questioning everything about mechanical testing systems. For example:

Why must sensors only have 0.2% sensitivity?

  • Large inductance or capacitance change is straighforward to implement.
  • 50% sensitivity in capacittive and inductive sensors is practical and plausible.
Why do dynamic testers use servo-hydraulics?
  • Hydraulic pistons are effectively dash pots that self-load at high rates.
  • Psylotech electro-dynamic actuators scale to high forces.
Why not control with the data acquisition PC?
  • Modern computer processors are sufficiently fast.
  • Experimentalists could customize their systems.
Can systems incorporate a user modifiable LabVIEW control program?
  • Experimentalists could expand their systems.
  • The community can generate new features.
How can mechanical testing go green?
