Overview:

With the launch of a new generation of car transmission systems the automotive industry requires state of the art test technology for the implemented hydraulic mechatronic unit before it is attached to the gearbox. One of the big challenges is to simulate the installed conditions (e.g. bolt forces, oil conditioning) and to teach in the control characteristics. ATW was one of the first suppliers that could offer a hydraulic test rig with the functionality, precision and the level of automation that is necessary for a 100% test at end of line. In the meantime a lot of ATW rigs in the field assure the high product quality needed to be up to the sophisticated standards of the automotive industry.
