Detonation Pickup Testing Services

Let the Inventors of the Newest Testing Technology Generate
the Pickup Data That Will Help Your Company’s Bottom Line
with Our Patent Pending Methods

Vertex Electronics has a new pickup testing system developed to assist technicians and managers to quickly diagnose, characterize output and quantify pickup attributes. This new tester will put more dollars on the bottom line through quicker and more accurate diagnostics testing and by generating data to help better fit pickups to the fuel testing process. This new technology provides the user added insight into the workings and attributes of a detonation pickup. Vertex has identified three major attribute categories associated with a pickup and invented this new testing system to precisely measure and categorize those attributes. The three attribute groups are Magnetic, Mechanical and Electrical.
