Mitchell Electronics Incorporated, founded in 1979, is a manufacturer of equipment to test and run servomotors, encoders and resolvers as well as various third-party electronic devices. Corporate headquarters are located in Athens, Ohio, which is also where manufacturing takes place. The company is an associate member of the Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA), an international electromechanical trade organization.[1]
Mitchell Electronics began in 1979 by providing custom designed industrial electronic systems to the motion control. By 1983 the company had progressed to offering standard computer based industrial products to end users and to original equipment manufacturers as components in their products and ten years later began offering encoder test equipment. In 1999 the company began offering a suite of hardware and Windows-based software to designed to test additional types of encoders as well as resolvers and other servo feedback devices.
In 2001 the company introduced a line of equipment designed to provide repair shops and plant maintenance personnel the ability to test run many types of servo motors with one common drive device. A patent was later issued to the company for "an apparatus that allows a non-standard brushless motor to be driven with a standard drive amplifier."[2]
