Brake test engineering

Brake test systems, from measurement to report.

Microface integrates automation, instrumentation and software for brake dynamometers, friction testers and rolling roads. Whether you are developing a new installation or modernising an established machine, we help define the test workflow, control the conditions and turn measurements into useful engineering results.

Automate the brake test

BrakeLab brings test execution, machine control and data acquisition into a coordinated workflow. Editable test schedules let engineers organise repeatable programmes around the equipment and measurements their application requires.

Define the procedures and conditions

Start with the brake, the required procedure and the operating conditions. We can discuss performance, wear, durability and other brake-test applications, matching the required sequence and measurement chain to an appropriately configured system. References to procedures do not imply certification or accreditation.

Build a dependable measurement chain

Instrumentation and signal transfer are central to useful brake-test data. Microface combines measurement hardware and control interfaces, including FibreComs fibre-optic links for electrically noisy test environments. Fibre links provide galvanic isolation and avoid electromagnetic pickup along the optical signal path.

Investigate brake noise and vibration

BrakeStudio supports recording, analysing and reporting brake noise and vibration. It can operate independently or alongside BrakeLab, bringing brake-specific NVH work into the wider test programme without treating every measurement task as the same problem.

Turn test data into engineering reports

DynoGraph provides graphing and layout tools for BrakeLab test data. Clear plots and consistent report layouts help engineers review results, compare tests and communicate findings to colleagues and customers.

Modernise proven brake-test machinery

An established dynamometer may still have useful mechanical life even when its controls or acquisition equipment need replacing. Microface can assess the existing machine, define interfaces and plan upgrades, commissioning and ongoing support around the parts worth retaining.
