Testing and Process Technology for Safety-Critical Components
in the Automotive Industry
When Test and Process Technology Need to Work in Volume Production
The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation: electric mobility, autonomous driving, and new materials are posing immense challenges for testing and process technology. Components are becoming more complex, quality requirements are rising, and the pressure to shorten development cycles is enormous. Failures or quality defects are not only costly but also jeopardize safety. You need systems that not only function technically but also operate reliably, with documented and audit-proof processes in volume production.
What Matters in Volume Production
Maintenance of cycle time
Processes must not slow down production
Stable operation during series production
Fluctuations lead to downtime or scrap
Reliable verification of quality
Results must be documented and traceable
Integration into existing lines
Inspection and process equipment must fit into existing processes
Systems tailored to assembly line processes
Test and process systems are designed to operate reliably and integrate seamlessly into existing production lines. Cycle time, test sequences, and process behavior are specifically coordinated with one another.
- Designed for defined cycle times
- Integration into existing production lines
Stable and repeatable processes
- Automation for mass production processes
Testing under real-world operating conditions
Components are tested under conditions that correspond to their intended use. Pressure profiles, loads, and limit conditions are specifically defined to obtain meaningful results.
- Defined pressure build-up and release profiles
- Simulation of dynamic loads
- Reproducible test conditions
Typical challenges in the automotive industry
Batteries
Leak tests to prevent electrolyte leakage and to ensure safety and proper functioning.
Refrigerant Valves and Valve Blocks
Leak tests to prevent refrigerant leaks and malfunctions in the air conditioning system.
Evaporator
Pressure and leak tests to prevent refrigerant leaks and maintain cooling capacity.
Fuel Tanks and Fuel Lines
Leak testing to prevent fuel loss and avoid safety and environmental hazards.
Compressors
Pressure and leak testing to ensure reliable operation and maintain the refrigerant circuit.
