Multifunktionsrigg för komponentprovning

Abstract

The work has been performed at WSP-process. WSP is one of the world's largest consulting companies mainly active in construction and infrastructure. Today, there are high demands on trucks and their construction. They should both be lightweight, strong and fuel efficient. It is also very expensive to test the whole vehicle at development. It makes testing of subcomponents a very important step in the development process. WSP has a long history of developing test benches for subcomponents related to powertrain. In the current situation they are constructing a new and unique bench to each component to be tested. This leads to high costs and long construction time for each bench. The goal of this project is to develop a concept of a multi-function test bench. The test bench shall be able to test a variety of components such as pumps and gearboxes. The result of this work is a multi-function test bench built in aluminum profiles. The aluminum profiles have longitudinal grooves which allow major adjustment possibilities. They also results in reduced design and construction time. The report presents a basic bench that is the very foundation of the multi-function bench. The report is also presents three different applications of the bench in the form of:  . bench for water testing  . bench for oil pump testing  . bench for gearbox testing The work has been limited to not contain any form of electrical design or cost estimate.
