Test applications for automotive industry with focus on hybrid- and e-drive

The excellence achieved by automotive manufacturers and their suppliers results from both intensive research and development and fulfilling the most demanding quality requirements. That requires test equipment solutions with realistic simulation for the entire range of mechanical loads faced by vehicles and units, while allowing rapid recording and analysis of measured values.

Test applications for non-automotive industry

Measurements, tests and certifications according to product standards are becoming increasingly important for manufacturers of electrotechnical components worldwide. This results in the need for test facilities that are also used for development, service life investigations and routine tests or factory acceptance tests. The manufacturers of mechanical components such as gears or pumps need test benches with powerful drive technology for this purpose.
