Inova Testing Systems
The demands of comfort and reliability for cars, trucks, motorbikes and trains will be higher and higher. One very important consideration for this is the vehicle suspension system. Apart from the external load, new active components are now present. To investigate all of these aspects, it is necessary to prepare for many different types of tests now and anticipate changes and variations in the future.
Inova has more than 30 years experience in the design and manufacture of ‘state of the art’ servo hydraulic Damper Test machines. This includes Mono Tube Dampers, Twin Tube Dampers, Cabin Suspension, Yaw Dampers, etc. Inova systems are also available to test Rotary Dampers and Air Sprung Damper elements.
To complete the picture, we are also able to adapt the CAN Bus application inside the testing system to simulate the electrical communications with the vehicle’s ECU’s and generate the messages for damper ECU from the test se-quence.
General
Railway Damper Testing A railway vehicle bogie has many different dampers in various positions. It is often preferred to test the damper in its ‘real’ attitude. This specially designed frame allows the frame angle to be set accordingly.
Standard laboratory machine Enlarged machine
Modular concept Inova Damper testing machines are based on a modular concept of loading frames, seismic masses, actuators, hydraulic supply systems and a wide range of accessories and electronic options.
With our variable loading frame concept, we can offer solutions for any test on any damper system.

Software LabExpert-ProDamper Le-ProDamper is the result of years of experience in the area of damper testing. The software is design-ned for R&D as well as end of line test. During design of the software we had three main targets:
• powerful test definition
• wide range of evaluation
• easy use of the system
LE-ProDamper takes care about control of the test, evaluation of results and test report.
Former tests or defined sequences can be easily loaded from a data base via keyboard or barcode scanner directly from specimen.
