Emulation refers to the ability of a system to realistically replicate the behavior and functions of another system using software. This allows operating systems, software, or even hardware to be simulated without the need for the original hardware itself.

At EICHLER, this means that the load emulator uses a precise model of an electric machine based on modern FPGA technology. This model replicates a real three-phase asynchronous machine so accurately that the connected frequency converter or inverter interprets the emulator's signals as if they were coming from a real motor. This allows converters to be tested under realistic conditions – without the use of physical motor hardware.

Reengineering is an innovative method that enables us at EICHLER to reproduce components that are no longer available or no longer produced, using advanced manufacturing techniques. Especially in industries where systems are designed for a long service life, but equipment is discontinued, no longer supported or no longer supplied with spare parts after a certain period, reengineering offers a valuable solution, all with the aim of maintaining repairability for as long as possible.
