The 24 Unit CAN Durability Tester is designed to test a total of 24 turbo actuator units, setting and storing multiple test profiles. The system uses CAN communication to talk with the turbo actuators and includes an enclosure which consists of two NI PXI Chassis, two Samsung monitors, and two Sorenson power supplies. The INERTIA test software operates two separate 12-turbo actuator test stations (24 turbo actuators in total). 

The ABS Control Module Development and Life Cycle Test System consists of two systems which were delivered for R&D and life cycle testing of intelligent ABS modules. One system tests six units, the second system tests 18 units. 

Each system is able to independently and simultaneously exercise, load, monitor, and report the results of the electronic anti-lock brake system (ABS) modules during testing. The software included with the system is developed in LabVIEW and provides the capability to call test requests from an SQL database, create test profiles, compare pass/fail results with anticipated results, and a variety of other features and capabilities.

Validation of FMVSS safety devices in the automotive industry is critical during all phases of development and manufacturing. The Airbag Control Module Life Cycle Development Test System is able to simulate all the I/O up to 16 airbag deployment modules, allowing each of them to experience real-world conditions and test for the proper response.

The system interfaces directly with an electro-dynamic shaker and commands the output to provide the actual crash signature by which the UUT's performance is measured. Under these conditions, the test system is able to monitor the actual state of all the outputs and verifies that each module responds correctly and consistently to the stimulus applied.

The End of Line LED Control Board Tester is a production test stand that tests 100% of the interior lighting control boards and LED boards produced.

Circuit boards are manually loaded by an operator. Once loaded, the test stand automatically makes the required electrical connections. Parts are tested using either voltage or current controlled pulse trains while the part is connected to simulated loads. Part performance is determined by measuring either output voltages or currents. Parts operating per specification are marked using a laser part marker.

Fuel tank level sensors are required to meet demanding specifications for accuracy, repeatability and hysteresis by OEMs. These units also include emissions control devices that must be tested to ensure proper operation prior to installation in the vehicle.

The Fuel Level Sensor System uses servo control to move the level sensor float through its full range of motion and analyzes the data to ensure that at each position they are within the specified milivolt range defined. Pneumatics and various other sensor technology are used to validate the correct assembly of the emissions control components.

Automotive seating has become increasingly complex with features such as occupancy sensing, vehicle bus communication, memory positions, heat and other options.

The Production Seat Test Systems are able to test all the features on the seat and compare them to the build requirements, making certain that the correct features are built into the seat and that they are all functioning properly prior to shipment to the OEM. Tester software can tie into production management systems to obtain the build requirements and store results in plant databases.

The TS-1899 Smart Remote Actuator Test Stand is a complex and versatile test system designed to perform a variety of functional tests, including operating torque, peak (stall) torque, position accuracy versus input, response time, and failsafe operation. These functions can be run in a multitude of sequences.

The RV Leveling Actuator Test Stand is a fully automatic system used to perform pressure decay leak test, displacement, and load on recreation vehicle leveling systems. The stand utilizes a 48" ball screw for applying the load. 

The Timing Chain Loading System tests the strength of chains used in the automotive industry for timing and in transmissions.

The system consists of a ball screw actuator that applies a pre-tension to the chain at a specific load. Once the pre-tension load is applied, the system allows the user to define a displacement or load to stretch the chain. The system tests chains from 10" to 70" in circumference and is capable of 70,000 lbs of force.

The Tire Pressure Sensor Stand is a turnkey solution incorporating NI LabVIEW software, various NI PXI components, as well as many mechanical and electrical components, to develop an intuitive system that provides a user-friendly system interface while simultaneously handling complex command and control issues.
