Specialist vehicle conversion company MacNeillie has announced its new semi-anechoic electromagnetic compatibility test chamber in the West Midlands, England, has officially opened.
MacNeillie, which announced the news at the Blue & Amber Light Fleet Exhibition in Teleford earlier this week, has reportedly invested around £500,000 in the construction of its new EMC test chamber. It will offer a range of EMC assessments of vehicles for the emergency and security markets, including antenna performance, radiated emissions, mutual interference between vehicles and installed equipment, electrical supply disturbance and consumption, earth bonding and radiated field strength measurements.
The new test facility is expected to serve original equipment manufacturers, police forces, ambulance and emergency personnel and other government agencies.
“The launch of our new EMC test chamber at the Blue & Amber Light Fleet exhibition marks a significant investment by MacNeillie, achieving one of our business plan’s medium term goals ahead of schedule,” managing director Nigel Rowley said.
“We have adopted a holistic approach. It is no longer about simply converting vehicles. Our model now works with customers to develop specifications, complete the project on time and price, and support that vehicle in service wherever it is around the world.”
