TWITL – Vibration Testing Automotive ECU

This Week In The Lab: This fuel injector controller has to withstand significant levels of vibration being mounted inside the engine bay of a high performance racing car.

The manufacturer and end user can’t afford a field failure so we are giving it a literal shakedown.

We are also monitoring the live performance during testing of the ECU to check for failure points or changes in the characteristics of the system

Vibration and shock testing applies to a wide range of products e.g.

  • Anything that is mobile or at risk of knocks and shocks in it’s end application
  • Industrial equipment working in a plant room or similar environment
  • Anything with moving parts; how robust is it? Are there unknown resonant modes lurking?

Get in touch to discuss your vibration testing requirements, we’d be happy to help.
