Universal Test Sytem for Vehicle Flap Actuators
For the functional testing and the testing of housing tightness of mechatronic assemblies, these test stations were developed for a supplier from the automotive industry. The first test system executes various functional measurements at so-called vehicle flap actuators. The second test system examines the complete tightness of the flap actuator housings. By utilizing of a MCD ULC rack different DUTs can be tested in these universal systems. A drawer concept with exchangeable cartridges allows the future testing of further DUT types.
Features:
- Tightness test of flap actuator housings
- Semi-automatic handling with insertion of sealing ring and DUT
- Automatic start of test sequence by closing the drawer
- Inclusion of sealing ring by vacuum tool and mounting via linear axis system
- Mounting of sealing ring on the flap actuator shaft
- Two-fold tightness test by overpressure and vacuum before and after mounting
- Functional test of vehicle flap actuators
- Running of pre-defined actuating positions
- Simulated loading via programmable drive and brake torques
- Angle measurement and testing of Hall sensor voltage at actuator limits and defined positions
- Torque measurement during test sequence
- Calibration test by evaluation of linearity
- Current and voltage measurement
Equipment components:
- Modular test setup with a drawer concept and exchangeable cartridges for various DUT types
- Control via touch screen monitor, handheld and shaft scanners for barcode identification
- Electronic control and coordination of test sequences via MCD control unit MIO1616
- Control and documentation by measurement software TestManager CE, as well as MCD Toolmonitor SerIO, Toolmonitor Robotics, Toolmonitor Serialline, Toolmonitor Data Manager and Toolmonitor ULC
- Integrated label printer for failure labels
- NIO handling via slide
- Linear axis system with servo axis inside the testing cell
- MCD ULC rack
Application examples:
- Tightness test of mechatronic assemblies
- Functional test of vehicle flap actuators
