Servo-Hydraulic Test Bench for Automotive Towing Devices LabTest 7.40H.10-TDS 

As the automotive industry continues to evolve, components must undergo increasingly demanding testing to ensure safety, durability, and long-term performance. Towing devices are subjected to complex multi-directional loads throughout their service life, making it essential to evaluate them using testing systems capable of accurately reproducing real operating conditions.

The LABORTECH LabTest 7.40H.10-TDS is a state-of-the-art servo-hydraulic test bench specifically designed for static, dynamic, and fatigue testing of passenger vehicle towing devices. Combining advanced servo-hydraulic technology with intelligent control software, the system accurately simulates real-world loading conditions, delivering highly reliable, repeatable, and precise test results.

Realistic Simulation of Service Conditions

One of the key advantages of the LabTest 7.40H.10-TDS is its ability to reproduce real vehicle operating conditions within a laboratory environment.

Using CARLOSTest, LABORTECH's proprietary control software, the system converts measurement data collected from vehicles into synchronized loading commands for the X, Y, and Z axes. This enables the accurate reproduction of longitudinal, lateral, and vertical forces acting on towing devices throughout their operational life.

As a result, manufacturers can validate new designs, evaluate fatigue resistance, and optimize product performance before mass production.

High-Performance Servo-Hydraulic Technology

The test bench is equipped with a high-performance hydraulic power unit operating at 280 bar, providing precise force control across all loading axes.

Its synchronized servo-hydraulic actuators apply multiple forces simultaneously, accurately reproducing complex loading scenarios that cannot be achieved with conventional single-axis testing systems.

This capability significantly improves testing accuracy and enables realistic long-term durability and fatigue evaluations.

Rigid Modular T-Slot Test Table

The system is built around a heavy-duty 3 × 4 meter modular T-slot test table, engineered to provide exceptional rigidity during testing.

Its modular design allows quick adaptation to different towing device configurations, fixtures, and loading arrangements while maintaining maximum structural stability throughout multi-axis testing.

The high rigidity minimizes structural deformation, ensuring outstanding measurement accuracy and repeatability.

CARLOSTest Software: Real-World Data Converted into Laboratory Testing

At the core of the system is CARLOSTest, LABORTECH's proprietary software developed specifically for advanced durability testing.

The software converts real vehicle operating data into synchronized laboratory loading sequences, enabling engineers to recreate actual service conditions with remarkable precision.
