ST-66 Starter Endurance Tester and Engine Simulator
Endurance test of up to four starters at the same time.
Duplicates engine compression stroke.
Replaces live engine testing.
Designed to deliver maximum capabilities, flexibility and accuracy optimized with extended measuring and documentation functions.
Excellent choice for design and prototype labs, endurance testing, product quality assurance, component validation - verification, and warranty analysis centers.
Automated test with completely programmable scripting of test procedures.
Proprietary starter ripple current analysis technique is able to detect, graphically display and quantify armature, brush, commutator, faulty connections and other problems, is synchronized to one revolution of starter armature.
Engine cranking profiles provide complete control of the compression stroke pulsations applied to the starter.
Engine Cranking Profile Generator for creation of new cranking profiles.
Performance test can be executed after programmable quantity of crank profile cycles.
Captures Peak and Average: starter voltage, current and torque via high speed data acquisition system. High Speed Data also captured for: torque, current, starter voltage, contact voltage drop and speed.
Over Speed (over - run) capabilities up to 40,000 RPM.
Uses the Ring Gear from the starter's application.
Axial and Radial starter position adjustment system.
Flywheel stop position can be controlled and varied with a Gaussian distribution.
Computer controlled programmable up to 1500 Amp power supply with less than 200mV ripple, simulating 200 - 2000 CCA batteries (0 - 30 milliohms).
Easy to use test specification editor for creation and editing of test conditions and specifications.
Programmable limits for the quantity of individual and sequential starter failures before starter is dropped from the testing cycle.
Smart Delays for starter temperature monitoring, if the starter is above the maximum temperature the tester will skip the starter and continue with the next starter in the sequence.
Pause test feature allows a sample to be removed for analysis, testing can continue and later the sample can be placed back on the tester and resume testing.
Expanded report capabilities. User programmable report generator sends results to MS Excel for cranking cycle and performance report print out.
Individual statistical files for each starter, previous results retrievable for display and analysis.
Expandable measuring system for custom requirements. Temperature inputs and auxiliary analog channels available for customer defined measurements.
Over - Speed (over-run) capabilities up to 40,000 pinion rpm.
Individual starter cooling fans with programmable fan on and fan off settings.
Layout of tester and enclosure can be configured in a variety of configuration for ease of installation.
Provisions for external battery connections for use as the power supply.
