Test dynamometer (Durability tests for rotating elements)
This system is very valuable for testing the durability and expected life of the transmissions, axles, gears, transfer cases and shafts under various scenarios.
Another option is to run similar tests at the vehicle level; without the need of getting the vehicle on the road for replicating error situation caused by the powertrain, such type of a custom system will reveal the situations where problems occur and will help the engineering team to develop a solution and iterate on the bench.
Easy to use user interface; simplicity in setting up and running test cases is our most important goal. Operators in a test center can quickly receive training and begin running a variety of scenarios.
​
Data collection during testing:
Data from low speed channels, sensors such as thermocouples, RTD temperature sensors, pressure sensors and fast channels are collected through data collection (DAQ) systems, depending on the customers' preference. Fast channels are; accelerometers, microphones, tachometers, etc. All data is synchronously collected during the test run.

Alpha Cabins (Determination of acoustic properties of materials)
Cabins are used to determine the acoustic absorption properties of materials and are generally called "acoustic test cabins" or "reverberation rooms". These cabins are designed to detect the sound absorption properties of materials against frequency, measure their acoustic performance and determine their properties. Here are some of different types of cabins:
​
-
Reverberation Rooms: In these rooms, sound waves hit and reflect on surfaces and resonate for a while. In this process, the acoustic absorption capabilities of the material are measured.
-
Acoustic Test Booths: These booths are designed to evaluate the acoustic performance of specific materials or products. They often include high-sensitivity microphones, sound sources and measuring devices.
-
Acoustic Rooms: These rooms are generally large and can be specially designed. It is used for larger-scale or special tests of the acoustic properties of materials.
​
In this cabin, "Sound Transmission Loss" (STL), "sound transmission loss" measurements and "Sound Absorption", sound absorption measurements can be made.

End-of-Line (EoL) test systems
End-of-Line (EoL) testing devices are used to test the quality of the product after the production process. The purpose of the testing system is to check any visual, audio or other problems that may arise during the installation and assembly of components before they are delivered to customers.
Application examples of end-of-line testing systems developed by Novosim include:
​
-
Rotary systems (transmissions, axles, etc.)
-
Automotive Component Testing
-
Noise and vibration level measurements
-
special systems
​
EoL testing systems are complex systems that generally operate automatically and include a range of sensors, data acquisition devices and testing equipment. Test procedures can be prepared in the form of predefined scenarios by the development team and stored in a database. Different scenarios can be prepared for different test conditions (high speed, low speed, long term, short term, etc.) and then called from the database.
​
​Test results allow products to be approved or flagged as defective and routed to correction stages if necessary. This is important to ensure quality standard in the production process and increase customer satisfaction."
