Automated test system provides faster driveline development
Test time reduced by more than 60%, significantly cuts cost and frees up engineering resourcesLeamington Spa, UK, 14th April 2016 – A new, automated mobile oil expulsion detection system that significantly reduces development time and cost, called VENTS, has been developed by engineering consultancy Drive System Design (DSD). The system monitors oil expulsion through the breather system of a driveline unit, such as an axle or transmission case during testing. Traditionally this would require continuous engineer observation and can take up to 8 weeks, with VENTS it now only takes 3 weeks and
