What is AXIS?
Discover the value of AXIS, a modular electronic servo control system by Innkeeper LLC. Developed from thousands of hours of real-world experience in the automotive, aviation and marine industries. AXIS, with the InnControl software platform ensures efficient durability, fatigue and performance testing performance.
Legacy Product Replacement and Expansion
Many labs still rely on older products like the 407, 2370, 5900, VT-6008. AXIS not only replaces these legacy products but also enhances test automation features when paired with our InnControl™ software. This rejuvenates existing equipment through control retrofits and powers new test stations with advanced features.
Value Proposition
AXIS was designed to balance cost, function, flexibility, and stability inherent in all closed-loop controllers. Using widely available components and a User Interface centered around the needs of both the test engineer and the operator, InnControl delivers a highly reliable, low-risk, and cost-effective control system. Perfect for any application requiring precision, InnControl adapts to various hardware types, is easy to configure, and boasts a user-friendly interface. It excels in controlling hydraulic, pneumatic, and electro-mechanical systems as well as managing pressure, temperature, and power delivery. Its intuitive design reduces setup errors, offering a flexible testing tool built with the end-user in mind.
Field Support
When it comes to field support, we excel both in-person and remotely. Our prompt response and comprehensive assistance set us apart. However, InnControl systems don’t rely solely on Innkeeper support. We provide all sub-component documentation and a full system diagram with every project, empowering any qualified technician to isolate and replace any individual component if needed. Choose InnControl and Innkeeper for your testing needs – because we’re not just about testing, we’re about building your solutions.

Development
In the dynamic world of product testing, meeting requirements can be a challenge. That’s why we developed AXIS – to give lab management and staff a flexible tool that evolves with their needs. Over the past decade, we have optimized AXIS to be both cost-effective and adaptable, meeting custom requirements while keeping it affordable for those who need one or two channels. AXIS retains the essential features for single station testing while standardizing to keep costs down. It’s the heart of our closed-loop testing offering.
2U height, 19” rack for desktop or rack mounting.
Emergency Stop function can also be linked to external buttons.
Reset the system from physical button or through software.
Just the facts, indicators for power, error condition.
Robust connectors for control and signal wiring. Optional builds for hydraulic and servo-electric actuators.
