Equipment

SEEL has state-of-the-art test equipment including large comfortable control rooms that allow creative meetings. The customer's needs are in focus and SEEL engages in developing operations and equipment to meet the customer's needs.

The test equipment that SEEL currently offers is as follows.

Electric machines

Two high-performance and identical test cells for testing electric machines intended for light and heavy vehicles. The equipment can be combined with climate chambers that generate heat or cold.

Electric axles for light and heavy-duty vehicles

Two high-performance and identical test cells for testing electric axles intended for light vehicles. The equipment can be combined with climate chambers that generate heat or cold.

One high-power test cell with double control systems for testing electric axles intended for heavy-duty vehicles. The equipment can simultaneously manage two separate tests of electric machines.

Noise and vibrations of electric axles and components

In a special room that fulfils ISO 3745 “Acoustics — Determination of sound power levels and sound energy levels of noise sources using sound pressure — Precision methods for anechoic rooms and hemi-anechoic rooms”, electric axles with high dynamics can be tested. Due to its well-proportioned size, the room enables testing of component sounds on complete vehicles or sound effect measurement on detached components and systems.

Complete light and heavy-duty vehicles

Cars and other light vehicles can be tested using the high-performance test cell intended for testing complete vehicles. For the best possible dynamics, the vehicle's hubs are mounted on the test equipment. SEEL will in the near future offer power certification tests for light vehicles.

Buses, trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles can be tested using the high-performance test cell intended for testing of complete vehicles. The vehicle's hubs are mounted on the test equipment for the best possible dynamics. The test cell also offers wind speed, heating and cooling.

Test simulator for SEEL test cells

An efficient solution to reduce costs and lead times is to use SEEL's test simulator to develop test software code and simulate tests before the test object is mounted in test cells.
