New modular environmental simulation test benches<\/h1><\/div>

How ATESTEO makes possible environmental simulation tests on the drivetrain for all drives and requirements with a new modular concept.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

The idea: In the shortest time, develop test benches for environmental simulation that can be employed in a freely movable manner everywhere where they are needed to test drivetrains. At the same time, they should be constructed so modularly that they can be configured to the needs of customers quickly and without issue.<\/p>\n

The way: Modularly build the entire technology of an environmental simulation test bench in a compact, mobile unit \u2014 in a container. More or less out of the box, automobile and powertrain manufacturers can test their drivetrains with combustion engines or electric and hybrid drive systems for performance and endurance at extreme temperatures, for changes of temperature, and for moisture directly at the test bench. The implementation of this idea had as a result eight modular test benches for environmental simulation. These were placed into operation on 11 September 2019 at the ATESTEO site in Kassel with invited guests from the automobile industry, the world of politics, and the press.<\/p>\n<\/div>

There are 4,268 meters of cable, 304 tonnes of steel on 3,000 sqm and over 30 years of experience in drivetrain testing in the new modular test benches for environmental simulation from ATESTEO. In Kassel the new mobile units will start their work in September. The interactions between the drivetrain and its environment are reliably investigated in currently eight different configurations with one or two load machines and optional climate chamber along with a battery simulator which can be added when needed. By identifying these reactions on the ATESTEO test bench, the environmental factors can be recognized early during development so as to optimise components as early as the development phase. The new modular test benches for environmental simulation from ATESTEO measure the following factors:<\/p>\n
