TECAT Performance Systems, LLC

company's history


TECAT Performance Systems was founded by automotive industry veteran Dr. Douglas Baker, who has years of R&D experience in engine direct injection fuel systems, algorithms, firmware and simulation technologies; data acquisition systems and sensors. When designing engines at TECAT Engineering, a company he founded in 1997, Dr. Baker recognized the need for a torque measurement system that was small, economical, and harmless to the system being tested. Since no such solution was found on the market, Dr. Baker invented his own wireless data acquisition system with the goal of measuring rotating shafts. The non-invasive, wireless torque measurement device called T3 can provide performance data for new engine designs. Recognizing the huge demand for such a product in the testing and instrumentation world, he began building prototypes. After further refinement and improvements, the system is ready for wider distribution. In 2010, the first commercially produced wireless torque measurement system - the Model 462 - was launched. To better structure the existing organization for future growth, Dr. Baker formed TECAT Performance Systems, LLC in 2014.
