Besides intelligent measuring techniques and automation, the mechanical automation of testbeds can increase productivity by minimising the setup and testbed downtimes and enhancing the quality of test results due to an appropriate design. The pursuit of increased productivity also affects the testbed control rooms in the form of constantly changing requirements and work situations. Consequently, highly process-oriented design and functionality are required for control room equipment. Quick installations and a simple setup of the testbed equipment require drive shaft systems with standardised mounting possibilities. Unproductive duties like engine commissioning and decommissioning, rigging, media conditioning, system checks, calibration, service, maintenance and repair tasks have to be shifted out of the test cell to ensure optimal test cell utilization. Support of the test facility’s processes via Test Lab Management Software capable of planning test execution tasks and resources (test cells, personnel, pallets, sensors etc.) is another area in which demands for increased productivity are on the rise. Preparation and checking of test runs without utilizing the testbed are also required to improve the testbed’s availability. APPROACH A prerequisite for smooth test processes is sophisticated testbed mechanics in combination with ergonomically designed control room equipment. Based on lengthy experience through all kinds of realized projects, AVL provides systems designed for the customer’s specific application – for engine, powertrain, hybrid, racing and component testbeds. AVL’s modular concepts allow a high degree of scalability from simple durability testbeds to highly sophisticated and complex powertrain development testbeds. BENEFITS AT A GLANCE • Reduced setup times due to mounting of the test specimens onto pallet systems • Quick and easy fixing of the pallets on the testbed • Wide range of standardised drive shaft systems, with automatic docking function if required • Easy adaptation to changing requirements due to modular and ergonomic design of control room equipment • Shifting test run preparation and evaluation from the test cell to the office by using the AVL PUMA FlexiCart™ as simulator / 116
