Combination of In-Line Crack Test and Natural Frequency Measurement of Brake Disks, in ONE test-bench
刹车盘在线裂纹检测和固有频率测试组合一体机
An innovative manufacturer of brake disks in Germany is putting their confidence in the powerful acoustic resonance testing by running an innovation by RTE. For the first time, crack test and natural frequency measurement are carried out simultaneously in ONE test bench - fully automatic and in line with production!
德国一家不断创新的刹车盘生产商采用了RTE公司强大的声学共振的测试系统，首次将裂纹测试和固有频率测量同时在一个测试平台上进行，完全自动而且用于在线生产中。
This OEM is now able to deliver cost-effective and well documented high quality parts and sets new standards in this particular market segment. At one swoop, this manufacturer meets present and future demands of their customers – others will have to rise to the challenge.
这个OEM生产企业现在可以提供最具成本效益和有证明文件的高质量部件，同时提供这个特定市场的新标准。这家生产商一举符合了现有和将来的客户需求，其他的必须接受挑战。
On a Good Path 检测新方向
The natural frequencies of brake components are measured in order to avoid squealing breaks. The individual components should not excite one another mutually. The pioneer, Daimler, demands this for all new products, as do Chrysler, Fiat, VW/Audi and Ford. GM, BMW and PSA are on the way. The subcontractors, such as TRW and Conti, require their suppliers of castings to make these measurements. In the meantime, Toyota has also recognized the necessity of this and taken up natural frequency values in the drawings for new brake mounts and brake backing plates.
刹车盘的固有频率测试是为了避免刹车噪音，单个部件不能对其他部件产生影响。做为行业领先者，戴姆勒对所有新产品都有此要求，克莱斯勒，菲亚特，大众/奥迪和福特同样也有此要求了。通用，宝马和标致也在逐步效仿。类似TRW和Conti的分包商，也在要求他们的铸造供应商进行这种检测。同时，丰田也意识到这个重要性并进行新刹车后板和刹车鼓的抽样测试。
RTE has supplied several test stands, which can measure brake mounts, brake backing plates or brake discs, as standard modules to tier 1 suppliers and foundries domestically and abroad. The next installations will be started up in Czech Republic, Hungary and China. SONIC|TC®.EigenFrequency is used as the testing system.
RTE已经给一级供应商和本土及海外的铸造商提供了多台测试平台用于测试刹车鼓，刹车后板和刹车片。接下来的将会提供在捷克共和国，匈牙利和中国的用户，SONIC|TC®.EigenFrequency测试系统。
The next step: Brake linings/pads are still remaining to be monitored. There has been considerable progress due to systematic analyses. RTE is in the process of developing a universal testing machine, in which the natural frequencies of all brake linings/pads for vehicles from cars to trucks can be measured.
未来发展：刹车磨擦板至今没提及需要监控，但已经被考虑要进行系统分析，RTE已经在研发一款通用测试机，可以对所有包括小轿车和载重卡车动车刹车磨擦板板固有频率进行测量。
Natural Frequency Testing prevents Materials-Mix-up
使用固有频率技术检测材料混淆
What to do when there are two products that look identical, but have different characteristics? When you need to sort them correctly to different customers with differing requirements? A leading foundry found itself confronted with this very problem. Depending on order specification, they need to provide their customers with different brake disks that are identical from the outside, but must not be mixed up.
在两个工件看起来相同但材料参数不同时怎样区分？当需要按不同客户的不同要求区分材料时怎样做？一个领先的铸造厂曾经遇到这种难题。基于订单的技术要求，他们需要向客户提供不同材质但外看相似的刹车片，所以绝对不能搞混这类工件。
For such, natural frequency testing is a reliable, fast and cost-effective method. The parts are tested at an end-of-line test bench in time for their natural frequencies and compared to the preset types. This fully automatic test prevents a mix-up. And there is a more than welcome side-effect: aside from correctly sorting the brake parts, the test system also identifies natural frequencies specified by customer for the prevention of brake squeal – without additional cost.
针对这些需求，固有频率测试是十分可靠的，快速和最具成本效益的方法。这些部件可以在生产线最后阶段进行固有频率测试对比预定设值，进行全自动测试防止混料。同时，还可以达到如下副作用：除了正确分选刹车部件，这个检测系统也可以按客户要求的设定识别固有频率来防止刹车噪音，并且不用增加额外成本。
Expensive? No. Installation and commissioning of the test bench integrated in pre-existing production lines takes just two days – including training of personnel.
昂贵吗？不，在现有的生产线安装和调试运转这个测试平台只需要2天—包括员工培训。
