BLRT

The smart one. 

BLRT is a fully automatic bond, loop and joint resistance tester with built-in operator instructions.

 

It speeds up the testing process by diagnosing faults quickly, and automatically uploads results to production systems once all checks have passed. Recommended for testing bonds, loops and joints during the manufacture of aircraft and aircraft subassemblies. 

Main BLRT Applications

Several wind turbines are positioned across mutiple fields. The sky is very dark and stormy, and a lightning bolt is visible.

Measuring resistance on aircraft & large structures such as wind turbines or infrastructure at risk from lightning strike.

TESTIMONIALS

“We really value the flexibility of the system and the quality of the results; the F2500 delivers exactly what we asked for.”

Zander van der Steege

Project Test Engineer, Santon Switchgear

“The MK Test solution…improves performance and streamlines manufacturing.”

Jakub Lukasiewicz

Space Programs Production Manager, PZL Warszawa-Okecie

“MK are the industry standard for automated test equipment. Using their equipment has greatly improved our efficiency and accuracy when testing.”

Sam Baker

Sales Manager, Itel Electronics

“RTS is an innovative solution compared to traditional wiring testers. It allows workload reduction by fast set-up and fast testing.”

Olivier Boizot

Project Leader, Airbus

“Faster testing, easier to use, and [testing] can be performed by one person.”

An ExLRT user from Lufthansa Technik

“The MK tester is very reliable – the repeatability is what makes it valuable.”

Peter Hicks

Chief Electronics Engineer, Pandect Precision Components

“We're using BLRT to check the electrical bonding on test rig ground planes. The joint test functionality allows us to find high impedance interfaces quickly, which wouldn't be possible with a normal bond tester."
