Customised Test Bench for Steering Actuator Testing

Project Scope

A leading Off Highway OEM trusted us to handle their accelerated product life cycle testing project, during which we managed the end-to-end activity right from modular test rig design, FEA analysis, fabrication, assembly, hydraulics and testing.


Business Challenges


  • The entire project was to be completed in 1.5 years hence we needed to do

    meticulous planning and have seamless coordination with all stakeholders

  • The rig design was conceptualized in-house after many theoretical

    calculations. All the components of the rig are on a single movable structure

    including the hydraulic tanks, pumps, hoses and valves as well as controls

    making it a challenging design task


ARi’s Solutions

ARi’s core team of engineers planned the project & performed rigorous engineering simulations and procured the right parts to meet stress and vibration

levels at critical locations for accelerated life cycle testing. The goal was to make the test rig last for more time than the product under test.


ARi’s Value Proposition


  • The product was successfully tested in one year for equivalent field life of 6

    years

  • ARi team went beyond the scope of the project and suggested ways to

    improve the product

  • Customer was able to launch drive-by-wire steering product for mining

    applications
