powertrains; Froude Hofmann are actively supplying advanced 4x4 “all independent” chassis dynamometers for Hybrid and fuel cell vehicle development. The unique roll synchronisation control capability of these chassis dynamometers enables various powertrain configurations to be tested in accurately simulated road and operational conditions.
With this highly flexible Chassis Dynamometer, various test applications can be realised on one system:
- powertrain testing - including Hybrid and Kinetic Energy
recovery systems
- ABS brake and TCS traction control system testing
- Corner simulation for differential and driveline testing.
- Dynamic testing of vehicle collision avoidance systems
Engine Automated Testing a major focus for research and development teams has been the dramatic drive for cleaner, more economical engines. As emission levels have dramatically decreased the testing systems have become more sophisticated to provide the accurate simulations necessary for the development and calibration engineers. Recognising these demands, Froude |
Hofmann's engine test control system utilises latest generation electronics, software and high speed network techniques to provide a fully integrated engine/dynamometer control and data acquisition system.
Froude Hofmann AC dynamometers and advanced control systems simulate 'in-vehicle' testing of an engine that helps reduce development time and provides transient test capability.
With a comprehensive range of AC, Eddy Current and Hydraulic engine dynamometers and associated control systems the company is able to provide accurate, reliable testing of engines in all applications.
End of Line Production testing - More sophisticated solutions have necessitated more testing at the end of the production process involving safety critical systems such as: lane departure warning, collision avoidance systems and adaptive cruise control have all been incorporated into our test stand's capability.
Production test solutions include; Roll Test Stands (RTS) Wheel Alignment Machines (WAM), and the new Shake Roll Test Stand
