CILYX operates along three axes:

We are specialized, among other things, in the design and realization of different types of real-time test benches, with hardware-in-the-loop capability. Our test system is known for its reliability and efficiency and has already been used in major projects. Our test system has been used, among others, for European space launchers for Ariane 5, 6 and Vega (to test the Vulcain engine, actuators, …).

Understanding new requirements is very important for Balteau as we are always looking to answer your needs with the best solutions. Balteau has evolved into digital applications and developed products such as software suite, calibration tools, etc. that are specifically designed for the aeronautic industry.

Balteau is involved is most industries by having portable units, stationary & mobile equipment, real time systems (standard and customized), NDT software, digital imaging, etc.
