BRAKE TESTING WITH VBOX - OVERVIEW
VBOX equipment has led the way in high-accuracy brake testing for more than twenty years.

Due to their high precision, flexibility, and ease of installation (they can be moved from vehicle to vehicle in minutes), VBOX systems are used by almost every automotive and tyre manufacturer in the world to carry out brake distance measurements.
KEY FEATURES
Using a brake pedal mounted trigger input, VBOX 3i and VBOX 3iS will measure the braking distance to within ±1.8 cm for a typical 100-0 km/h brake stop. Our new Pedal Force Sensor with Event Marker measures the amount of force applied to a brake pedal, in accordance to SAE and ECE standards, and automatically triggers the start of a test as soon as any pressure is detected. Evaluate start of stop pad temperature using the Mini Input Module and K-Type therocouples. Improves accuracy and noise levels, enhances the dynamic response to velocity, eliminates over-shoot errors and combats satellite drop-out for up to 10 seconds without lock. Evaluate start of stop pad temperature using the Mini Input Module and K-Type therocouples. VBOX systems enable you to easily conduct brake tests in accordance with ECE R13 H Braking, ECE R90 Brake Pad Testing, ECE R78 Motorcycle Brake Systems, FMVSS135, ADR 31/04, 33/01, 35/07, ISO 21994, and SAE J2909 regulations. VBOX Test Suite installed on a Windows device within the test vehicle offers real-time display of all measured parameters. Having instant feedback can save valuable testing time, particularly for more complicated tests such as R139 BAS.. |
There are two main kinds of braking test:
Free Data Analysis Software with 5 Brake Testing Plug-ins
VBOX Test Suite is our user-friendly, intuitive data analysis software that is free to all VBOX users. It makes the process of recording and analysing your test data as quick and easy as possible. park assist icon blueThe software comes with five Brake Testing plugins for Trigger brake stops, Speed-to-speed brake stops, homologation testing to ECE R78, SAE J2909, and Category "B" Brake Assist Systems tests to ECE R139.
Tests can be run within a tightly defined set of criteria, such as between temperature ranges. Centreline deviation is automatically calculated during each run, and thresholds can be applied to ensure that the operative gets immediate feedback on the validity of results. The plugin also produces a comprehensive report that includes all the relevant test results along with the engineer's notes.
