Vehicle steering systems
Klotz steering test benches for passenger cars and commercial vehicles are used by many well-known manufacturers: end-of-line test benches, test benches for quality assurance, development test benches and final assembly systems for servo and recirculating ball steering systems. For example, performance, tightness, acoustics, fatigue strength, load capacity and other criteria are tested.
In addition to systems for hydraulic steering systems (HPS), Klotz has also been building assembly and testing systems for EPS and EPAS steering systems and their components since 2006. Klotz has a strong team and a comprehensive library of solutions in the field of test bench software. Residual bus simulation for FlexRay and CAN systems are an integral part of many systems.
Klotz has realized test benches and assembly systems for both Rack-EPS (R-EPS) and Column-EPS (C-EPS).
Klotz systems offer very high availability in continuous operation (24 h).
The assembly and testing systems are in use worldwide, e.g. in Brazil, China, Germany, France, Russia and the Czech Republic.
