Transmission Oil Pump Production Audit Testing
Versatile hot oil audit testing.
Efficient test machine design entails not only supporting current client needs and products, but also any similar models, with the flexibility to adapt to next generation designs as well. Such was the case when we were approached by a leading producer of engine and transmission oil pumps for the automotive sector. The client wanted to develop a common and interchangeable platform for all pump test systems and for verifying the designs for new models. This system needed to support both production audit testing and durability testing.
Some of the many design features for testing efficiency included:
Universal fixture interface to match all other oil pump test stands within test lab
New PC-based control system
Sliding front door for fast access to test bay area
Simple manual part clamping mechanism for quick part interchanges
Customized test code allowing addition of functionality at client's discretion
Closed-loop speed feedback system
Automatic test selection and execution, based on detecting the appropriate fixture
Test scripts yielded the following raw data:
Pressure vs. flow curves for continuous RPM values
Temperature vs. pressure drop for open flow conditions
Internal pressure relief value for closed restriction condition
The full scope of the test system was delivered on time in a matter of weeks, while ATA continued to support the client with any testing assistance required after delivery.
