The History of imc Electric Motor Testing

The founding idea of imc is load-free testing of electric motors. And to bring this to life, in 1988 our young team had to face two major challenges:

The existing hardware and software on the market was not powerful enough to meet the demands of load-free testing for electric motors and allow the calculation of primary motor parameters in real time. So the founders immediately took it upon themselves to develop the necessary measurement hardware and software. Today imc measurement, test and control systems are among the most advanced on the market.

The second challenge was to convince customers of the innovative strength of imc’s electric motor testing concepts so that their trust was sufficient to go ahead with an investment such as in a test stand from a start-up company. This was first achieved in 1991 with company AEG, which commissioned the first-ever commercial imc test stand for load-free electric motor testing.
