The COMPACT solution for engine test automation & control
AVL BOBCAT
AVL BOBCAT™ is an affordable and integrated engine testing automation system from AVL's COMPACT product line for both existing and new test cell layouts.
AVL Approach
With AVL BOBCAT™ the user is entering an "open highway" to a future of expanding test solutions and outstanding AVL services which will fit both current and future needs.
Benefits at a Glance
- Intuitive modular structure for creating test cell, engine and test run definition and procedure configuration
- User-friendly experience driven by aesthetic display pages and graphical drag-and-drop test set-up
- Quick operation that allows test runs to be defined and reused easier and initiated faster
Functions
- Digital Dynamometer & Engine Controller provides excellent torque and speed control
- Proven interfaces to hydraulic, eddy current and AC dynamometers are available
- Interfaces to most common measuring devices for engine testing can be easily established
