Detailed Facility Update

ATETC is being developed in a view to perform test on FWD and RWD Power Train Systems for NVH R&D purposes. Facility shall be able to test complete Power Train (with Thermal Engine, Electrical Motor & Hybrid Versions) or engine from 10 kW to 330 kW, in a virtual vehicle environmentATETC is being developed in a view to perform test on FWD and RWD Power Train Systems for NVH R&D purposes. Facility shall be able to test complete Power Train (with Thermal Engine, Electrical Motor & Hybrid Versions) or engine from 10 kW to 330 kW, in a virtual vehicle environment.

Salient features of system are as follows:

Acoustic and vibration performance (acceleration, deceleration) with LMS Scadas Mobile SCM 09, 204.8 kHz sampling rate per channel, 24 bit resolution and with overall gained dynamic range of 178 dB.

• Source localization with holography technique with moveable array module (with maximum focalization frequency from 200 Hz to 13.6 kHz) & Focalization resolution up to λ/2 with set of spacing.
• Capability of source localization on skewed plan with robotic configuration (1D).
• Torsion Vibration measurement with the help of Laser sensor up to 100 kHz.
• Active Suspension Isolation System
• Integration of the whole utilities with a drive NVH test set up with the help of one of the elite class user friendly software SPARC & STARS.
• Real time environment actuation devices to foster exceptional performances for both NVH & durability testing such as:
• Clutch Actuator (Core competence to understand the clutch behavior)
• Gear Shift Actuator ( with 11 position set points makes it capable to track shift behavior of wide range of transmission)
• Throttle command by wire Actuator
