The test rig records the noise behaviour/sound level of bellows on drive shafts under dry and wet conditions and at different joint angles. The test stand is also equipped with a sandblasting unit to simulate realistic conditions for the test specimens. The “CSB” test stand consists of 2 base frames that are largely separated from each other regarding structure-borne noise. The only rigid connection is created by the test specimen.

NovoPS Test Stand Software

The NovoPS test stand software is a Windows-based solution that is programmed in-house and optimised for the respective test task. As the interface to the user, the uncomplicated user interface provides intuitive access to all functions of the test stand. Moreover, both the connection of the test stand to the customer's conveyor systems as well as its integration into the existing network environment is taken into account. This enables the data acquired to be processed and evaluated independently of the test stand.
