Workshop “Hazard and Safety on (Roller) Test Stands”

On 24.11.2022 we held a symposium on the topic of “Safety on roller dynamometers with special consideration of new drive technologies” in Schorndorf.

The event was triggered by increasing talks and discussions with our customers and partners regarding fire protection, fire fighting philosophies and vehicle recovery topics with a focus on chassis dynamometers. Especially in times of new drive technologies (electric, hydrogen, …) and the associated energy buffering (e.g. batteries), numerous new aspects, dangers and requirements have arisen here.

With Peter Hoff, we were able to gain an expert who has many years of experience in the field of test bench planning and operation and who was able to give us an introduction to the following topics in a keynote speech at the beginning of the event:

  • E-mobility,
  • hydrogen drives,
  • E-fuels,
  • Risks of HV technology,
  • Damage and temperature development in battery fires,
  • effects of fires on building infrastructure,
  • legal framework in Germany,
  • structural fire protection,
  • Requirements and technical solutions of fire departments to facilitate cooling, extinguishing and evacuations if necessary.

From our point of view, the forum “Hazards and safety on (roller) test stands” was a complete success – many thanks once again to our keynote speaker Peter Hoff.

Many thanks also to the numerous participants who made this event a success with their active participation in the discussions and lively exchanges during the breaks.

Another event on this topic is firmly planned for next year.

Testing Expo USA 2022 – We were also there

Automotive Testing Expo is the leading international exhibition in the world, for all aspects of automotive testing, development and validation technologies.

After numerous appearances at the Automotive Testing Expo Europe in Stuttgart, we have now traveled halfway around the world to further expand our international profile. For this reason, we participated in this year’s Automotive Testing Expo in Novi Michigan (USA) and presented our latest innovations and technologies to the international market.

In addition to our best-known components for vehicle fixation in the classic passenger car sector, we also showed wheel hub fixation for MDVs up to max. 7 tons and trucks up to max. 40 tons vehicle weight. We were also able to show visitors other topics from our portfolio. These included the in situ fan rotor revision and the quick release module for vehicle fixation.

This quick decoupling module is an important part of the safety concepts on chassis dynamometers.

It is ideally suited for testing electric vehicles (danger: battery fire), as the vehicle fixation can be released at the push of a button or fully automatically and the vehicle can be evacuated from the test area as quickly as possible.
