Components Test Beds

For Control Sistem to be a leader in the Automotive Testing sector means developing applications for all the parts of a vehicle: motor, chassis and even single components.
Within the range of Control Sistem's products there are an elevated number of component test benches: from braking systems to complete transmission systems, from the various types of fuel pumps up to selespeeds.
Control Sistems's engineering facilities are able to define a test platform specific for every need with a constant cooperation with the client's technical staff: in every instance the objective is the definition of the best solution at a technical and commercial level.


Some of our installations

Axle shaft testing system

The test rig was specifically designed to carry out dynamic transient tests or endurance tests on front axle shaft for passenger cars and light duty trucks. The axles can be tested by simulating all the working conditions they can experience in the real vehicle: rotational speed, torque, vertical stroke, axial stroke, steering angle.
The SW application, developed for this test rig, allows the full setup of automatic cycles and the complete real time control of all circuits of the system for the simulation of speed, torque and vibrations. The test cycles for the simulation of the driving patterns are fully automated, so is the data acquisition.

Pedal functional test beds

The test bench allows to perform the main functional tests specified by the most important automotive manufacturers for the functional characterization of pedal sets.The bench is equipped with a highly flexible testing station, where any type of pedal set can be installed with minimum adaptations. The main actuation system for the tests consists of a mechanically controlled linear actuator driven by a low inertia brushless motor. It has been designed to work on the pedal being tested in speed, position or load control mode. Testing station equipment is interchangeable and can be adapted to accept virtually all types of pedal set.



Brakes endurance test beds

The bench test makes it possible to perform durability tests on front and rear brake caliper with handbrake device. The bench is equipped with 4 independent stations where different braking systems can be installed to perform tests according to user defined parameters, except for rpm, that is necessarily the same on each pair of coupled stations. The main braking system is hydraulically controlled. It uses a cylinder controlled by a servo-valve for each pair of stations, with pressure or torque control. Testing station equipment is interchangeable and can be adapted to accept virtually any types of caliper.
