This new addition to the company's MALMS range of photometric measurement equipment, compliments the existing MALMS Workshop Tester and Photometric Bench products by offering a new entry level 'static' tester. With MALMS BenchTop the increasingly necessary activity of testing the photometric performance of individual AGL fittings can now be undertaken effectively in the smallest of airport maintenance workshops.

The new 'self contained' MALMS BenchTop has been specifically designed as a very compact unit. It has a small footprint and it incorporates an easy to use operator interface and display of test results. It also comes completely pre-configured, so that no on site commissioning is required. Therefore, the new product will provide even small airports with the capability to rapidly undertake simple photometric tests for intensity and beam symmetry, on a range of different AGL fittings, after refurbishment and prior to installation on the runway.

While the MALMS Workshop and Photometric Bench products offer advanced measurement facilities, these products are not viable for all airports, especially in terms of the investment and the physical space they require. Whereas, with a lower cost and requiring much less space, the MALMS BenchTop offers a vital part of the solution for all those airports struggling to balance AGL system compliancy with investment justification.
