Audit Test Cells

 

Quality Audit engine test systems are typically used as an over-check of the production testing process.  The tests run on Quality Audit test stands are more comprehensive and may run the engine for longer periods of time and collect more data parameters than the production test.  Pass/Fail criteria is normally not checked during the test.  Parameter data is collected in time-stamped data packets to be analyzed by statistical analysis tools on a remote engineering or plant host computer.  The operator can select a predetermined test sequence to be run or manually run the engine at specific speed/load setpoints.  This system, at the end of a manufacturing process, must be flexible enough to run each of the different engines models produced at a facility.  The system also needs to be designed for flexibility so that test sequences, procedures and parameters can easily be modified for new or special tests.  Typically these systems are "paperless" and some systems are also free of manual intervention.

After an engine is engaged in the test cell the computer system runs a predetermined test sequence.  The system monitors the data both for safety conditions and collects parameter data into data packets.  Once the test is completed the engine test data packets are sent to a remote engineering or host computer for test data analysis and reporting.  It can be sent to a Comptek Cell Data Server or a plant host system.

COMPTEK's experience with Quality Audit Engine Test spans 26 years at more than twenty different engine manufacturing plants.
