Testing Solutions

Testing equipment and automation for drive systems and energy technology

Our core expertise: We deliver testing technology for components and entire systems, from test beds to complete test bays, technical building equipment and media supply – all from a single source. Consistency in project handling provides optimal solutions for our customers. Passion, long-standing experience and ongoing refinement are our tools.

Whether on water, land or in the air - drive and energy systems are diverse and cover a wide range of performance areas. Energy sources, storage systems and converters have also become more technologically diversified and are constantly undergoing further development. KS Engineers specializes in the development, manufacture and provision of test systems for the automotive, rail, marine and aviation industries, energy technology and for service providers handling the mobility of tomorrow. From testing components to complete systems, we deliver innovative solutions of the highest quality.
In addition to our basic portfolio, we focus our innovative drive on solutions for electromobility and fuel cells, alternative powertrain systems based on hydrogen and e-fuels as well as autonomous driving (ADAS testing and system validation).
As a rule, our approach is to use quality components that are established on the market and readily available. However, if the technologies and components required to carry out the task are not yet available, we do not hesitate to use our innovative strength and experience to develop proprietary technology modules, from electronic and mechanical hardware components to software and control engineering through to testing methods.

Vehicle Testing

Complete vehicle testing

In-house vehicle testing and application under real driving conditions. Integration of vehicle, road and tyre models, testing and tuning of assistance systems.

ADAS/AD Testing

Function-based testing

Partially or fully electric powertrains and the ongoing development of driver assistance systems and autonomous driving have increased the complexity and application costs for validation.
The KS R2R testing technology and methodology uses virtual components and units under test, as well as detailed environmental simulations, to make the development and functional validation processes safer and more efficient even when requirements change.

Powertrain Testing

Designed for performance

Rapid control using R2R frequency converter technology, synchronicity of all the axes, realistic simulation of powertrain vibration, handling of bias and backlash and real torque distribution enable testing of the highest level.

PowerHIL

Efficient inverter development under realistic conditions

We implement turnkey PowerHIL test systems in which real electrical components such as inverters are connected to a simulated environment in order to test their behaviour under realistic conditions already at an early stage of development – including voltage, current and power – without the need for a full prototype or field test.

Component Testing

Custom testing technology for specialized tasks

We test everything: Design and manufacture of test beds for brakes, plain bearings, valve clearance, sensors, injectors, oil pumps, control units and much more.

Emission Testing

Test systems for clean air

The results from emission measurements must be representative and suitable for comparison with each other, as the relevant standards and directives require. Measurement methods must ensure high selectivity with minimal cross-sensitivity to ensure precise results. In addition, compliance with legal limits must be safeguarded by means of suitable monitoring mechanisms. The test systems from KS Engineers cover it all.
