Designing and Building Your Test Bench

Designing and Building Your Test Bench

Design and Construction of Test Benches and Systems

We conceptualize, develop and implement sophisticated test systems and facilities—precisely tailored to your individual requirements. Benefit from our decades of experience which stems from the realization and operation of numerous test systems for renowned clients across various industries as well as the operation of our own in-house testing facilities. As a solution provider, we support you from the initial idea through the entire lifecycle of your test systems.

IABG Test Systems - Comprehensive Testing Solutions from a Single Source

Our portfolio ranges from highly energy-efficient and standardized testing machines for operational fatigue tests on springs and stabilizers to custom-designed test benches for the development and functional validation of mechatronic systems (e.g. steering systems, active roll stabilizers) and uniquely tailored test stands for complex and demanding testing tasks.

Innovative Technologies in Test Bench Construction

Rising energy costs, increasing time and cost pressures, and ever-growing complexity. Numerous test item variants and test scenarios to cover. The availability of qualified personnel. Increasing demands on the functional safety of test items and the machine safety of testing technology. These are just some of the specific challenges we face daily.

Thinking Ahead Today
The winners will be those who maintain an overview and anticipate possible future variations and needs today. To ensure that your investments meet not only current but also future requirements, we offer solutions that are flexible and expandable. We continuously develop our core competencies to stay ahead of evolving demands.

Our Core Competencies in Test Bench Construction

  • Model-Based Design & Concept Development

    We support decision-making with model-based approaches, from feasibility assessments to initial concepts, development and realisation.

  • Custom Software Solutions & Test Automation

    We provide tailored software solutions designed to your specifications, seamlessly integrated into your existing tool landscape.

  • Application of Artificial Intelligence in Testing

    Test benches are powerful data generation tools. Data-driven technologies present both opportunities and risks. We strike the right balance.

  • Electrohydraulic Drives

    We cut energy and operating costs with energy-efficient, recuperative and flexible drive solutions.

  • High-Performance Electric Direct Drives

    Our actuators offer maximum dynamics and control precision, tailored for highly demanding testing applications.

  • Environmental Simulation & Media Exposure

    Our fully automated solutions replicate environmental and media conditions such as temperature, salt, dust and contaminated water.

Benefit from These Advantages

  • Mastering Complexity

    A flood of test specimens, different load cases and test scenarios with diverging requirements for the design of the test system, a "zoo of plants" in the test field, unclear future requirements...  
    If the complexity of the task requires it, we use continuous system simulation for the model-based design and development of our test systems: from the clarification of the feasibility to the specification of the requirements, the actual test stand development, the validation of the control algorithms and functions to the support during operation of the test stand. We use standardised models and methods from our toolbox. This makes it possible to quickly compare concepts and possible solutions, evaluate interactions and contradictory goals, to optimize parameters and thus shorten the commissioning time.

    For you, this means fast, well-founded and secure decisions.

    Furthermore, we offer you customized hardware and software solutions - tailored to your own standard solutions and integrated into your existing tooling with individual solutions for your test automation.

    For you, this means uniform and standardized systems, processes, test automations and operating concepts with correspondingly short familiarization times and flexibly deployable operating personnel.

  • Green Performance

    Rising energy costs with simultaneously increased demands on machine safety and ever higher requirements on the dynamics and control accuracy of the test stand actuator technology.

    With our electrohydraulic drive solutions and our high-performance electric linear direct drives, we offer you two powerful, energy-efficient alternatives to servohydraulic test benches.

    For you, this means maximum flexibility and performance with low maintenance and significantly reduced operating costs.

  • From Track to Rig

    Prototypes and field tests are complex, expensive and often only possible in late development phases.

    With our automated systems for media application, we bring the environmental conditions to the test bench. You can test and secure your systems at any time, fully automated and under reproducible conditions.

    Our highly dynamic and very precise electric direct drives are predestined for use in interaction test stands. Your testing personnel is able to tune and test your systems under realistic and reproducible conditions on the test bench.

    You save time and money in your development!

  • Trust in Technology

    • Secured and transparent design decisions taking into account relevant interactions and conflicting goals within the framework of our model-based design
    • Individual test automation for high utilization with low personnel input
    • Low-maintenance and energy-efficient electrohydraulic drive concepts
    • Robust, safe and high-precision electric drives with low operating costs
    • Automated systems for exact and reproducible simulation of environmental influences

    The result: Safe, low-maintenance and reliable test systems with high availability and a high degree of automation.

    For you, this means meaningful and reliable test results with high profitability.

  • Service & Support

    With our test stand solutions, we offer you the highest level of reliability and quality. This is one of the reasons why many of our strength test benches have been in use with our customers for as long as over 30 years - sometimes even under the permanent influence of salt spray.

    We attach great importance to low-maintenance, ergonomic test systems that are easy and intuitive to operate. Nevertheless, wearing parts have to be replaced, the measuring chains calibrated or new personnel trained. Often, the test specimens also change over time or new requirements - initially unexpected - arise for the test systems used. This happens, for example, when your internal customers need additional measurement technology or a new functionality in the software, an additional communication interface to a peripheral device or for the control of the test item.

    All-round service from a single source
    Our service team supports you with fast and pragmatic solutions. You benefit from efficient operation of the test systems in line with requirements and with high availability. We take care of everything: spare parts, maintenance, calibrations, upgrades and small modernisations, application support, engineering support, training and education and, of course, advice in every respect.

Benefit from Synergies

We can support you far beyond the construction of test benches. Our colleagues from Product Qualifikation offer comprehensive testing services and test, validate and qualify components and systems on behalf of our clients. For this purpose, a comprehensive and flexible test infrastructure is available at our site, including a test field for Environmental Simulation. This allows us to work with you to develop new testing concepts, implement prototypes in our test field, trial them and ensure their reliability.

Additionally, during the development and production of your new test system, we can perform the subsequent tests for you in our test halls. By leveraging synergies, this allows you to bridge development and production times for your test bench.
