Thermography Brake Test Bench and Tyre Test Bench

The automotive industry's wearing part requirements concerning lifetime and quality are increasing steadily. To analyse fast rotational parts, such as brakes, tyres and clutches under different load conditions, InfraTec  has developed an IR-rotation test system – Thermal Rotate Check (TRC). This can be used, for example, as a brake test bench or as a tyre test bench.

The respective test object will be sampled at sample rates which range up to the kilohertz band. Data acquisition will be triggered automatically by the testing machine. Various transformations can be done to display and archive the thermographic data. The thermography evaluation software IRBIS® 3 rotate is available to analyse the acquired data. According to requirements, integrators can also integrate the entire system into existing production environments.

• Synchronized raw-data acquisition double-sided
• Automatic hotspot detection
• Recording of machine parameters (contact pressure, speed, etc.)
• Statistical data preparation
• Acquisition parameters can be adjusted and saved
• Alarm release when surpassing critical temperature thresholds during live load tests
• Flexible configuration depending on measurement and testing task, e.g. as brake test bench, tyre test bench, etc.
• Optional integration as OEM solution

• Cooled high-speed thermographic camera in an industrial protective housing with application-specific calibration
• Parameter setting, administration, display, evaluation or playback on PC with the special software IRBIS® 3 rotate
• Interface for process signals (trigger input, alarm and measured value output)
