Keeps developing novel testing methods for automotive industry
Advancements in technology are rapidly changing the way vehicles are built, tested and maintained globally. There are evidently continuous developments taking place in the automotive sector with more electronic components used to give maximum comfort both for the driver and for passenger. All this enhances the need for testing all vital components in a vehicle.
The Hosur-based Dynaspede was founded in 1978 with mechatronics as its core competence. Rated as one of the technologically advanced and reliable establishments in India, Dynaspede has been a preferred partner for Test solutions for a wide spectrum of industry from vehicle OEMs to Tier-1 companies to drive their Research & Development and manufacturing programs.
Dynaspede has commendable experience in building solutions for testing and validation and offer a complete spectrum of test systems that provides solutions to every challenge.
With years of experience in building tailored solutions to meet the specific demands of its customers, Dynaspede has the unique blend of skill and expertise to understand the test requirements and deliver solutions that cater to a diverse clientele.
Dynaspede also partners with international players for engineering design, software development, field services and contract manufacturing.
“With vehicles becoming more and more ‘intelligent’, the need for right solutions has become critical. Our company has been in the forefront in providing testing solutions to Indian and global automotive companies for both end of line and R&D requirements”, said Mr. G. Gurumurthy, Director, Dynaspede, in an informal discussion with MOTORINDIA at the company’s Hosur facility.
As automotive product technology is rapidly evolving, the end of line processes used to test and inspect have followed the trend. Objective testing is replacing more and more subjective testing by human operators to shorten the production cycle and to ensure reproducibility and comparability of the results. With this paradigm shift, real time end of line noise testing of transmissions and power train elements is becoming a necessity for the manufacturers.
“We have invested major engineering efforts to develop technology for Real-time end of line NVH systems for Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) for automotive transmissions and power train elements. Noise-Vibration-Harshness (NVH) analysis solutions for end of assembly line helps identify defects of manufacturing and assembly, thus avoiding warranty complaints and recall of vehicles by the manufacturer”, he revealed.
As competition is increasing among vehicle manufacturers, companies across the value chain have a growing demand on reliability. Increasing commercial pressures to develop and deliver reliable products in a timely manner necessitate further accelerating the lab testing procedure.
“With the demand on reliability and commercial pressure on time, we have invested on our engineering efforts to develop technology for Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) on Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) platform for power train elements. CBM with multi-sensor data analysis on a HALT platform monitors the condition of power train elements in order to detect anomalies, diagnose the health of critical components and its associated functional impact on the test element – thus accelerating the product development cycle”, he revealed.
“We take pride in saying that for the entire gamut of vehicles from small cars to heavy trucks and off-road vehicles, transmissions and drive line, are validated and verified by our testing machines and we are the single source for most of the auto majors. With introduction of AMT and its gaining popularity, we were the first in the country to provide test solutions for functional verification and defect identification”, added Mr. Gurumurthy.
Dynaspede has had several success stories with global leaders who have their plants and R&D centres in India. The recognition gained from the global leaders has taken Dynaspede systems to other parts of the world.
“Very often companies find it taxing to invest in infrastructure for testing and validation or the commercial pressure demands quick 
test results. In such situations, Dynaspede, with years of building test solutions and skill of validation techniques, has offered value added testing services with failure analysis and application assessment for Engineering service companies and R&D centres.”
“Our goal is to be a global player in test solutions and services for reliability studies. We are looking to set up a testing centre where the customer can walk in, test his components, get value-added results, develop and verify solutions. The results assure them of reliability and performance in real field environment. All our technologies and solutions are developed in-house, by our 60+ multi-skilled product design engineers having over 50,000 hrs of experience. To broad base our offerings and reach, our company is also looking out for global alliances,” added Mr. Gurumurthy.
