Steering Rigidity Testing & Analysis Machine

The Challenge

Steering rigidity testing generates detailed torque–angle data that requires careful analysis to identify critical characteristics. Manual calculation of parameters can be time-consuming and may introduce variations in interpretation.

PROLABS Solution

PROLABS developed an automated Steering Rigidity Testing & Analysis Machine that not only performs the test but also automatically analyzes the measured data and identifies key steering characteristics.

The system automatically calculates and identifies:

• Lash

• Minimum & Maximum Stiffness

• Slope

• Tangent

• CW & CCW Yield Points

The test curve and calculated points are presented automatically, allowing engineers to quickly evaluate steering performance without extensive manual data processing.

Traceability

All test results are automatically uploaded to the company database, providing complete product traceability and easy access to historical test data.

The Results

The automated analysis provides faster, consistent and repeatable evaluation of steering rigidity characteristics, reducing manual calculations and improving the efficiency of product validation.
