Customised instrumentation
As we are fully aware of the difficulties that you might encounter, our team can provide an extremely responsive service. We can organise our skills and resources in order to satisfy your needs in complete compliance with your specifications. We can also offer you technical support, with solutions that are adapted to your project, either on-site or at CERAM.
Services:
Our services can be delivered on tracks, on the open road and on test rigs (4-actuator rig, tri-axial test rigs, component test rigs, etc.).
Creation of testing procedures in accordance with the aims of the test and the customer’s needs- Benchmarking
- Integration of electronics systems
- Vehicle or component instrumentation
- Performance of measurements: onboard or on test rigs
- Geo-satellite positioning for vehicle fleets
Fields of activity
Measurements of stresses, forces and deformations (strain gauges)- Acquisition of forces and vibrations under actual conditions for reproduction on test rigs and in damage calculations
- Vehicle dynamics: vehicle speed, steering angle and force, pitch, roll, yaw, body shell height, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, drift, etc.
- Comfort characterisation, identification of surging, pitching, rolling, yawing and wheel knocking on a 4-actuator test rig
- Acoustic and vibratory measurements; spectrum analysis
- Braking: stopping distances, deceleration, pedal force, brake disc and lining temperature, braking circuit pressure, AMS tests
- Performance: Standing starts, accelerations (rolling starts), maximum speed
Engine parameters: Engine speed, intake air temperature and pressure, engine oil, etc.
- Measurements of temperatures and pressures (power steering, cooling circuit, exhaust, etc.)
- Fuel consumption measurements (by flow meter or carbon balance)
- Recording of parameters via the vehicle CAN
- Electrical measurements (intensity and voltage)
- Geometry of axle systems.
Mobile and independent refuelling station, allowing for fuel tank filling tests, with adjustable flow rates and interchangeable filling guns
-
Any other instrumentation can be provided by CERAM teams according to your specifications.
