VULCAN EMSCD48
Overview
HORIBA has many years of experience of supplying emision-standard Chassis Dynamometers to the automotive industry and legislative bodies around the world. Over time our designs have been continously optimised and improved. The latest generation of Chassis Dynamometers is the outcome of this progress. They represent the highest level of performance to date built on a robust and modular design.
While creating their new range of Chassis Dynamometers, the HORIBA team re-examined fundamental design elements crucial for the delivery of the performance and availability demanded by users. The digital force and speed measurement chains are highly accurate and reapeatable. Automated quality checks and product diagnositics additionally contribute to a high equipment up-time.
