Test equipment for India

The Industrial Group of Moog has been awarded a contract to supply structural and fatigue test systems to the National Automotive Testing and R&D Infrastructure Project (NATRiP) in India. This project will create stateof- the-art automotive research and development, testing and validation infrastructure for the rapidly developing automotive industry in India.

Moog's test systems will enable automotive OEMs and component manufacturers to have modern test facilities to meet international standards and reduce the development time for new vehicles.

Moog's servo hydraulic test systems for NATRiP include hydraulic simulation tables (also known as MAST or multi-axis shaker tables), tire coupled simulation systems (four-posters, x-posters), universal test benches (UTBs) and hydraulic power units (HPUs).Moog's systems will deploy the latest control technology to enable simulation of road data on automotive components and fully built vehicles. These systems allow simulation of on-road load conditions in the laboratory and reproduce the fatigue experienced by vehicles in road conditions.

Four-poster and MAST fatigue test systems will have modern environmental chambers that reproduce and subject the vehicles to conditions such as extreme temperatures, sunlight and humidity, all of which are critical for testing the vehicle fatigue life.
