Dürr's Somac Measurement and Testing Technology: Elevating Automotive Quality and Reducing Costs

The automotive industry demands constant innovation amid fierce competition and volatility. Manufacturers must ensure vehicles deliver flawless performance throughout their lifecycle, despite unpredictable wear. Our experts at Dürr leverage advanced Somac measurement and testing technology to optimize final assembly, enhancing durability, quality, and efficiency with proven, real-world solutions.

How Dürr's Somac Measurement and Testing Technology Improves Final Assembly Solutions

With decades of automotive engineering expertise, Dürr provides reliable, verifiable analysis of vehicle systems and processes—detecting even minor leaks before filling to uphold the highest standards.

1. Somac – Control Device Communication

Modern braking systems with ABS or ESP require seamless electronic control unit (ECU) communication. Dürr's filling stations integrate ABS control via serial communication for dry hydraulic brake filling. Drawing on years of hands-on experience, our vport OBD and vport C diagnostic adapters, paired with specialized software, ensure precise diagnostics. The vport C adapts directly to ECUs via customizable diagnostic sockets.

2. Somac – Process Data Collection Systems for Secure Quality

Our structured software modules centrally collect data from filling and test equipment, enabling seamless integration with higher-level systems for comprehensive quality oversight.

3. Collect and Analyze Process Data

This robust system delivers verifiable test process evaluations in production. Built-in statistical tools detect process variations early, allowing proactive improvements backed by authoritative data analysis.

4. Somac – Brake Test Devices

Dürr's wireless brake testers offer unmatched flexibility and operator-independent operation. Automatic assignment of test heads to vehicles across assembly cycles streamlines workflows.

Brake Testing Devices

  • Brake leak testers – electric (wlBT – wireless brake tester)
  • Brake test measurement kit
  • Brake leak testers – pneumatic

Software with Self-Learning Algorithms

Dürr's final assembly solutions in India feature market-leading analysis software with self-learning algorithms. This minimizes downtime by pinpointing failure causes—like air in brakes or minor leaks—and detects mechanical issues across vehicle models, drawing from extensive field-tested expertise.

Test Multiple Vehicles Simultaneously

A single base station controls multiple test heads, slashing investment costs compared to standalone stations.

Direct Connection with OBD vport

Dürr brake testers connect directly to the vport OBD ABS control module, recording pressure changes and motion sequences for superior braking system quality assurance.

Special Features

Customize actuator and sensor parameterization in hybrid vehicles by combining brake testers with ECU interfaces.

Leakage Test and Measurement

Somac® systems ensure quality by minimizing production time through precise leak detection.

Variable Equipment Design

Tailored to customer needs, Dürr integrates mobile or stationary leak testers into assembly lines, with expert consultation for seamless implementation.

Testing Individual Components

Leveraging proven automotive final assembly expertise in India, Dürr tests systems and components pre-filling or installation, certifying quality and documenting results.
