Durr Measurement and Testing Technology:Ensuring High Quality and Lower Costs for Automotive Manufacturers

The automotive industry is very volatile. It is very competitive and to survive in this industry, you have to constantly evolve and innovate, especially in terms of quality, durability, etc. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that the vehicle functions perfectly throughout its life. As the wear a vehicle experiences from time to time is often unpredictable, engineers must use highly sophisticated and innovative test applications to improve the performance of their latest products in the most efficient and modern way.

How the Somac measurement and test technology from Dürr contribute to the improvement of final assembly solutions?

Dürr offers a reliable and verifiable analysis of the vehicle system and processes. It can detect even the most minor leaks in vehicle systems before filling begins.

1. Somac – Control Device Communication

Testing modern braking systems with ABS or ESP requires communication with electronic control devices in vehicles.

Dürr's filling station comes with ABS control via serial communication for filling brake systems with the dry hydraulic unit. In addition, Dürr offers its many years of experience via its vport OBD and vport C diagnostic adapters and the corresponding software components.

The vport C can be equipped with diagnostic sockets for different designs and directly adapted to the ECU.

2. Somac – Process Data Collection Systems – Secure Quality

Structured software modules enable central collection of data from your filling and test equipment and communication with superior systems.

3. Collect and analyze process data

This system guarantees a reliable and verifiable evaluation of the test process in production. Changes in processes can be detected at an early stage thanks to the included statistical procedures.

4. Somac – Brake testers

With the application of DürrEasy-to-handle wireless brake test devices, customers benefit from new flexibility. In addition, without operator influence, Dürr The system allows the automatic assignment of test heads and vehicles to different assembly cycles.

The different brake-testing devices are:

  • Brake leak testers – electric (wlBT – wireless brake tester)
  • Brake test measurement kit
  • Brake leak testers – pneumatic

Software with self-learning algorithms

Dürr Final Assembly Solutions in India provide Test fixtures for brake testing work with the most comprehensive analysis software available in the market and self-learning algorithms. This software reduces work expenses because work is always targeted for reasons of failure. It explains different sources of failure, for example, air in the brake system or minor leaks. Brake testers also detect mechanical failures in various vehicle models.

Test multiple vehicles simultaneously

One base station can control multiple test heads, allowing the customer to significantly reduce investment costs compared to individual stations.

Direct connection with OBD vport

The corresponding pressure changes and motion sequences can be recorded in brake systems through the direct connection of Dürr brake test devices with the vport OBD ABS control module. It allows the user to add special mentions to guarantee better quality and characteristics of the braking systems.

Particularities

Special functions such as the parameterization of actuators and sensors in hybrid vehicles via the combination of brake testers with control device interfaces can be carried out by the customer.

Test and leakage measurement

Somac® leak testing and measurement ensures quality by reducing production time.

Design of variable equipment

Depending on specific customer requirements, leak test equipment from Dürr is integrated into the assembly line with mobile consoles or stationary equipment. Furthermore,

Durr consults regarding the integration of leak test equipment into the customer's assembly line.

Testing individual components

DürrAutomotive final assembly in India provides expertise in testing vehicle systems and components prior to filling or installation, certifies high product quality and records test results.
