Automotive: testing, engineering, simulation and materials expertise
The 6NAPSE Group adapts to the requirements of the Automotive Industry with tailor-made services.
An expertise for Automotive Industry
For years, the 6NAPSE Group and its laboratories have been working with the automotive industry in the context of vehicle development. From R&D, to acoustic and vibration expertise, simulation, through materials control or validation testing: we are a key partner for manufacturers.
The 6NAPSE Group supports manufacturers throughout the entire vehicle life cycle. We qualify batteries, systems and subsystems according to safety and transport standards:
- Tests according to standards: ECE R100, UN38.3, ISO 12405, ISO 16750, DO-160
- Tests on electric battery and electric functions
- Tests on electric charging stations
- Electronics design and validation
- Etc.
Validation testing
Test the performance of the vehicle and its electrical components
- Essais sur mesure selon votre protocole
- Vibration testing: vibration resistance (capacity up to 3 meters and 3 tons)
- Acoustic testing
- Mechanical testing: insertion / extraction, resistance to mechanical shocks, endurance and impact testing
- Drop test: resistance to drops that may occur during installation in the switchgear
- Altitude testing: pressure variations in air transport
- Salt spray corrosion tests
- Thermal shock tests: rapid temperature variations
- IP sealing tests: water-dust sealing
- Sun/UV testing: resistance to sunlight
- Testing according to your protocol
Engineering around the vehicle
Diagnosis and validation
- Validation plan for systems and subsystems
- Power electronics design
- Automotive acoustic and vibration study:
- Track measurements (accreditation for all LFV tracks): acoustic measurement and accelerometer measurement, subjective rating by NVH experts, instrumentation and driving on the track
- Measurements in a semi-anechoic chamber (or in a box): measurement on a chassis dynamometer (2-wheel or 4-wheel vehicle), acoustic power measurement on an e-motor bench, vibration and acoustic tests
- Modal analysis : characterization of the vibration behavior of a structure under controlled stress
- Multiphysics simulation: vibration, crash, shock and impact, CFD, acoustics, thermo-mechanics, EMC
- Production Line Expertise
- Automotive R&D support
Materials analysis in laboratory
Expertise of your surfaces and characterization of your materials
- Failure expertise: breakage analysis, appearance defect, corrosion, wear, alteration, and identification of particles and pollution
- Analysis of surface coatings: resistance and safety of paints
- Chemical analysis: dosage of heavy metals (dosage of lithium on active electrode materials found in batteries) and recycling
- Chemical resistance tests: exposure to different fluids (engine oil, greases, brake fluid, soapy water, car wash products, de-icer, etc.)
- Water condensation tests
- Materials Cards / Behavioral Laws
