How do we test body parts?

Real vehicles are used at our quality control center. We replace the OE part and fit the one we are testing. This allows us to get the best possible results in comparing.

We judge:

accuracy of shape

fitment

accuracy of mounting points

We measure:

strength of the material (thickness))

surface treatment

weight

Just a better testing…

Thanks to our quality control center, we received the ISO 17020 certificate (conformity assessment).

How do we test front lamps?

We check:

luminous flux and distortion

tilting and el. control

shape and dimensions accuracy

sealing and humidity resistance

How do we test cooling parts?

All Van Wezel certified radiators have endured this testing procedure:

underwater pressure benchmark test

flange fitting and mounting joints dimensions check

flow rate check

How do we test cooling fans?

Complete fans are connected to special testing device, which exposes the part to the long-lasting applied load. During the test we control:

relevant performance values

noise and vibrations

accuracy of mounting points

How do we test A/C compressors?

Another unique simulating device is used for compressor stress load tests.

What we need to check?

correct function of regulating valve

measuring electromagnetic coil resistance

clutch contact surface

appointed pressure values

measuring flow capacity

checking sealing and vibrations

How do we test complete mirrors?

Not only accuracy of shape and overall manufacturing quality, but also resistance to aerodynamic vibrations means something to us.

We control:

whether main mirror frame and holders are metal, not just plastic

rigidity of glass holder

search for electrical circuit malfunctions

shape accuracy and overall quality of glass

How do we test window lifters?

Lifters are mounted inside the simulation doors and connected to power. We are able to provide a long-term automated reliability testing feedback.

endurance test (2000 cycles)

noise and smooth mechanical function

How do we test oil pans?

Contact surface must be perfectly manufactured - metrological flat metal desk and testing color helps us to ensure it really is.

In comparison to OE oil pans, we also check accuracy of mounting points for:

drain screw

oil level sensor
