Automotive & Vehicle Testing

Many tests on automotive interior components and products require low-cost, reliable, cyclic fixtures to mechanically cycle items such as: shift levers, door latches, buttons, console lids, and cup holders. These products must operate correctly in a wide range of temperatures, with air logic or electro-mechanical drivers. Environment Associates’ expertise can be employed to provide the best techniques for your fixturing requirements for your next automotive testing project.

Many times, as an automotive supplier, the test plans are constructed from vehicle-location specification guidelines and specific DFMEA (Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis) automotive mandates that determine the product performance service conditions. The EA engineering team can work with you to help deploy your robust test plan to capture maturity of your product’s design. We can help by serving you with traditional environmental testing that includes cyclic durability and/or specialized, cutting edge, accelerated testing.

Environment Associates understands that your reliability test plans must be properly managed so that product performance is carefully monitored. During testing, we can be employed to automatically or manually monitor a product’s deterioration to provide key markers for your Weibull results.

We also perform thermal cycling, thermal shock, vibration, and much more for your validation plans.

With our accelerated stress testing equipment, we can provide all HALT and HASS accelerated testing services for your automotive product, and we can create specialized, multi-stress test plans for the latest in detecting failure mode progression.

We also provide a blank DVP&R for you to use in creating a validation plan (Just click the link to access your blank DVP&R form ).
