MAHLE Introduces New Test Equipment At Auto Testing Expo

MAHLE Powertrain’s exhibit at this year’s Automotive Testing Expo North America will include new manufacturing test equipment and a diagnostic tester for use by auto dealers.

Also on display from MAHLE’s Engineering Services Division will be a single-cylinder research engine, the company’s Turbulent Jet Ignition (TJI) combustion system and the MAHLE Flexible ECU (MFE).

MAHLE Powertrain (MPT) is a leader in the development of advanced engine technology, including research engines and advanced combustion systems. The MAHLE Flexible ECU is a robust, open architecture controller that has the capability to control any powertrain application using highly optimized MPT functional software.

Luke Cruff, MPT’s engineering manager for Design and Development, will give a presentation on applied and advanced powertrain engineering research tools at 1:40 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at the expo which takes place (Oct. 28-30) at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.

MAHLE’s Test Systems Division also will introduce a new vehicle manufacturing tester- DL3, as well as its ServiceLogiq® Dealership diagnostic tester. The DL3 (DataLogiq®3) provides a compact, cost-effective solution to meet a need for increased electronics testing and module flashing. 

ServiceLogiq® is a service-bay software solution developed by MAHLE Test Systems for vehicle diagnostic testing. It provides an efficient way to manage large volumes of vehicle data in a small software application and can be used with the MAHLE’s ComWorks(TM) Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) or any other SAE J2534 communications device.

Scott Bolt, chief engineer — MAHLE Test Systems, will discuss the capabilities and advantages of the division’s DL3 vehicle electronic manufacturing tester on Wednesday, Oct. 29 at 4:10 p.m. at the expo.
