The AMS campus, located in beautiful Knoxville, Tennessee, spans over 100,000 square feet of office, laboratory, and expansion space. This campus offers a wide range of facilities and equipment to support various aspects of the company’s services. For example, AMS boasts one of the finest EMC laboratories for equipment qualification and research in the United States. The EMC laboratory consists of three testing chambers, including a 10,000 ft3 semi-anechoic RF chamber and a Gigahertz Transverse Electromagnetic (GTEM) cell.
The AMS laboratories are also equipped with a wide range of equipment for testing instrumentation and process sensors, such as environmental chambers, furnaces, constant temperature ovens, and two fully instrumented test loops equipped with various wired and wireless sensors. The company also has a fully outfitted temperature sensor response time and precision calibration laboratory for nuclear-grade temperature sensors.
The Materials Testing Laboratory at AMS is also fully equipped to perform a full suite of visual, thermal, chemical, electrical, and mechanical tests and evaluations. This laboratory supports cable condition assessments, failure analysis, materials identification, and research and development in a variety of areas.
AMS also boasts a seventy-person training center where it routinely hosts training courses, industry events, and company meetings. All AMS facilities are equipped with extensive computing, networking, and video conferencing capabilities that enable workplace productivity and ensure AMS maintains its state-of-the-art technical capabilities.
