Information and quotation request

Just mention the product code in your request. Sharing specimen details and the test specification speeds things up.

About the system

The body stiffness and strength bench measures torsional and bending stiffness, local stiffness and strength of the body-in-white (BIW). It ranges from precise servo-motor stiffness measurement to strength loading up to 500 kN, and also tests dent resistance and hinge-point stiffness of panels, bumpers, fenders, hinges, doors and roofs.

Technical scope

  • Torsion ±20 kN, bending 20 kN
  • Strength up to 500 kN
  • Local stiffness & dent resistance
  • Hinge-point stiffness

Test functions and capabilities

  • BIW torsional and bending stiffness
  • Local stiffness
  • Dent resistance
  • Hinge-point stiffness
  • Panels, bumpers, fenders, doors, roofs
