The materials used in automotive manufacturing undergo numerous rigorous tests before being approved for use in a vehicle. Test laboratories must guarantee the reliability and accuracy of tests carried out on future vehicle components. Are you looking for a solution for your temperature tests?
Take a look at how our temperature control system can help you guarantee the quality of automotive parts tested in test laboratories.
Summarize this article with :
Carmakers have very strict standards for material quality and impact resistance.
A wide variety of tests must be carried out to ensure that the material will meet manufacturing and regulatory requirements.
Materials can vary in terms of chemical composition, thickness, strength and other factors affecting performance.
The materials used in automotive manufacturing undergo many rigorous tests before being approved for use in a vehicle.
A number of environmental factors must also be taken into account, such as extreme temperatures. Automotive materials are generally subjected to temperature tests to ensure they can withstand the heat and stress of a car. Errors in materials and components can have an impact on the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
Temperature testing involves subjecting materials to different levels of heat to see how they react. This can be done in a controlled or uncontrolled environment.
In test laboratories, the temperature control is therefore an essential part of the process. A number of automotive materials have to withstand high temperatures.
One way of testing their ability to do this is to use a temperature chamber or to immerse them in baths. In this type of set-up, the temperature can be controlled and varied to simulate different environments. This allows a more accurate assessment of how the material will react to heat.
Perfect temperature control is essential for reliable and accurate testing, to guarantee the robustness of vehicle components.
The temperature control system was installed as part of a review of the laboratory's testing processes.
The laboratory is responsible for ensuring that materials comply with international standards. The laboratory's requirements called for a versatile temperature control system that could be easily integrated with the laboratory's existing systems, and that would reduce testing times.
Fuji Electric has developed tailor-made temperature control systems to make it easier and more flexible for engineers.
These control units regulate the temperature of a fluid-filled heating block.
The regulator controls the temperature of the heating block with cartridge heaters immersed in the oil bath as well as outside it. The oil is gradually heated to the required temperature.
The controller is equipped with ramps to ensure a gradual rise in oil temperature to the required temperature. This prevents temperature overshoot and guarantees process stability.
Temperature overshoot alarms ensure test safety.
The control systems on offer comprise :
A version with a touchscreen HMI and modular multi-loop controllers was also supplied torecord temperature data and ensure test traceability.
The Fuji Electric system ensured reliable and accurate testing, and saved time for the laboratory engineers.
The temperature tests carried out with this system ensure that automotive materials comply with international standards.
