Next-level air leakage analysis

Sep 27, 2022 |

The acceleration towards electric and green technologies in motor vehicles has led to fresh challenges for vehicle designers and manufacturers. Reduced interior noise, extended glazed areas and now, following COVID, improved air quality, are pushing the envelope of test machinery, often requiring significant capital expenditure to find solutions.

UK-based Sensing Precision has supported vehicle manufacturers globally for over 30 years with its range of cabin leakage testers. This now includes the PATON™ 500 NVH leakage tester which is capable of supplying and extracting up to 500l/s of air from vehicles and so is ideally suited to the development of vans, minibuses and LCV’s.

Designed to considerably reduce the time to validate the accuracy of build, the generated savings help drive down bottlenecks in design and production associated with cabin leakage testing. This allows new models to be launched earlier and keep pace with evolving technologies. It supports engineers with the power and flexibility to examine build accuracy at all stages from design through to final assembly.

Recognising the levels of investment vehicle manufacturers are having to make, the PATON™ 500 NVH is now available to UK manufacturers for long term lease through Sensing Precision’s sister company, AirCal.
