WAVEMAKER

The AM3 team develops wave motion generation systems for research infrastructures customized to the customer’s needs. The wavemakers are designed in all their parts, mechanical, electrical and control, using the best actuation, hardware and software technologies available on the market. The assembly and installation phases on site are followed by training in the use of the machine for the personnel responsible for its use.
