In Nov. 1962, Aviation Scientific & Researching Process Factory was composed of 5 state-owned and private small factories, which name is Shanghai Five Joint Factory of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army 921. It is directly leaded by the Aviation academy of DOD. The factory was mainly engaged in the trial-manufacture and processing of aero non-standard testing equipments, provided the testing components, blowy model, wind tunnel balancing, missile components and test-bed for national defense scientific & researching departments.
    After the name of factory had changed to 573 factory in Aug. 1966, it has gradually taken part in the development and manufacture of facilities related to the aero testing instruments of the scientific & researching departments. Among the thousands of aero testing instruments and facilities completed, there are many aero products such as Aircraft Collimator, Aviation Infrared Visualizer, Thunderbolt Missile Guidance, Carrier Amplifier and all kinds of Wind Tunnel Balancing used to test wind tunnel.
    The factory was changed from manufacture to the integration of science & researching, manufacture and management and developed civil products and military & civil general products in the 1980’s. In Sep. 1984, the name of factory was changed as Shanghai Aviation Products Testing Technique Institute, its second name was Shanghai Yangtze River Scientific Instrument Factory and its designator was 633 Institute in Aviation Industrial Department. Henceforth, the scientific & researching work has made the new progress and some equipments failure diagnosis instruments like Vibration Measuring Instrument and Shock Pulsimeter; new division- managed projects such as Laser Goniometer, Laser Two-dimensional Wind Tunnel Flowfield Analysis System, Multicenter High-speed Dynamic Signal Data Acquisition System, 6210FFT Analyzer and Aero-engine Vibration Monitoring & Analyzing System were manufactured successfully one after the other. The institute has also taken part in the important scientific & researching projects through taking advantage of aviation measuring & controlling techniques, they are Shanghai Industrial Robot Ⅱ, CT-M9 Multi-amplitude Camera, Real-time Vibration Monitor for the transportation of nuclear fuel in Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant, Computer Management & Monitoring System of coaling quay in Zhujiameng , Shanghai, Computer Real-time Control System of Tiqiao launchingpiston in Shanghai Broadcast Television Department, and so on.
   Now, there are more than 500 employees in our institute, which included 300 engineering technical personnel, and has almost a thousand square meters areas. Besides, we also have a scientific & researching building which has 14.2 thousands square meters constructed areas and 18-floors height. During the 40 years’ hard working, the manufacture of aviation measuring & controlling technical products in our institute have been changed from trial-manufacture and process to united develop and manufacture, and began to self-develop and self-manufacture. The researching and development direction in our institute has been formed in the aspect of Vibration Measuring, Dynamic Analysis, Random Vibration Control, Equipment Failure Diagnosis, On-line Monitoring and Laser Application. In the aspect of aviation and national economy service, our institute can provide all kinds of measuring & controlling system which can be regarded as center. Our institute has made 6 national scientific and technological achievements, 29 departmental harvest achievements and 30 harvest achievements in the city.
