The performance and reliability of TOMAR products evolves from over a half century of intensive research and development of high efficiency electronic circuit designs, robust product packaging, and innovative optics.

TOMAR’s talented and disciplined engineers utilize state-of-the-art design and testing equipment to create industry-leading products. TOMAR’s approach of creativity combined with engineering rigor is supported by research, development and testing tools which include:

• An advanced computerized circuit simulator that defines critical tolerance parameters and troubleshoots for potential design weaknesses.
• Firmware and software management tools that allow efficient and accurate capture of multiple development paths.
• High-speed optical ray-trace software for designing and simulating optical output.
• A 100 foot automated light measurement tunnel which uses photometers calibrated to display measurements in candelas effective in accordance with FAA, SAE, and IES standards. High speed photodiodes are used to measure and display light pulse wave shapes to ensure accuracy in light intensity output specifications.
• A fast scanning spectroradiometer for color measurements.
• 3D modeling software for adaptable iterative development of mechanical engineering solutions.
• Thermal simulation tools for early design optimization, and environmental chamber testing to verify that hardware meets design parameters.
• Faraday cage and instrumentation to verify that electromagnetic emissions meet or exceed corporate and/or industry performance standards.
• A fully equipped test lab capable of making all tests and measurements required by SAE and AMECA/AAMVA.
