Voltage and high-voltage data recording
Dewesoft offers flexible voltage data loggers for voltage recording in any environment and configuration. Our input voltage amplifiers range from millivolts to high-voltage inputs (±2000 V) with high galvanic channel-to-channel isolation. Channel configuration range from single-channel units to units with hundreds and even thousands of channels. The award-winning DewesoftX data acquisition software is included for free with free lifetime software updates. The loggers also come with an industry-leading 7-year warranty.
Thermocouple, RTD, and thermistor data recording
Our temperature data loggers (data recorders) offer accurate temperature logging from any temperature sensor type such as thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors. Our temperature loggers are modular by design and can expand from a single channel configuration to thousands of temperature measurement points. The DAQ systems are simple to set up and use with included award-winning DewesoftX data acquisition software. Software is included for free and comes with life-time free updates. The systems offer an industry-leading 7-year warranty.
Detect and track brake noise according to VDA 303 guideline
Dewesoft Brake noise testing solution, also known as Brake Squeal, is ideal for detecting and tracking noise caused by mechanical vibration in various braking systems based on the VDA 303 guideline algorithm.
The solution offers a direct connection of accelerometer and microphone sensors with the automatic setup using TEDS. It will calculate all the needed parameters and statistics required for the analysis of the brake noise.
Vehicle brake and ABS testing (ISO, ECE, SAE, FMSSV)
We offer an easy-to-use measurement system for brake testing and ABS testing according to ECE, ISO, FMSSV, and SAE international standards. Our test system offers automated workflow, is flexible and robust, and is used for brake R&D, brake comfort, and vehicle testing with regenerative braking. High-accuracy GPS and IMU hardware are available to achieve the highest possible velocity and distance accuracy.
And Fatigue Analysis
Fatigue is the progressive and localized structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic loading. Continued cycling of high-stress concentrations may eventually cause a crack that propagates and results in leakages.
Safety is an important aspect in designing automotive and other components. Dewesoft fatigue analysis solution is used for predicting fatigue damages based on measured strain and stress.
Winter and desert testing in extreme environment
