GIANT 8000 Series

Brake Test Systems

Customer perception of vehicle quality is closely related to the NVH behaviour of the vehicle. With the HORIBA ATS Brake testing system, NVH relevant design features are analyzed and various metrics stored in the database of the automation system. For friction borne vehicle NVH problems coming from the brake and its components the GIANT 8000 Series is the ideal tool to resolve it. The GIANT 8000 Series is superior NVH test system providing you with the best testing conditions for all types of vehicles. Test brake fixtures could be tested with a complete wheel suspension system. In a semi acoustic chamber NVH tests could be realized and drum brakes and disc brakes including the vehicle axle could be tested.
