The KEI-095 Brake Pedal Tester performs
vehicle brake system benchmarking with very little setup time. These
benchmarks can be used to compare (like, different, or competitors) vehicle
brake travel, effort, and pressures. These values are displayed on
an LCD and stored in battery backed RAM for future download to a PC for
SPC. Testing brake pedal travel has traditionally been done in the
past with string pots. They 1.) are very difficult to attach under
the I.P. and 2.) measure linear travel where arc travel is the true representative
length. Kemkraft has made brake pedal testing faster and easier by
utilizing an angle transducer that clips onto the side of a brake pedal.
The operator inputs the brake arm length into the keypad and when a test
is performed, the KEI-095 calculates, displays and stores the brake pedal
arc length. A second angle transducer is placed onto the passenger
floor which compensates for vehicle pitch and also calculates the vehicles
G force during the stop. The keypad, on the face of the unit, selects
operator options and sets the clock for date and time stamp of each test.
The transducers and cables store in the lid for easy transporting.
The KEI-095HUD Heads Up Display allows
the operator to display a target value and display the actual value for
travel, effort, or pressure. The analog bargraph display has 2 analog
bars, the top bar gives the user a visual indication of the target value
and the bottom bar gives the user a real-time visual indicator of the actual
measurement. This allows the operator to quickly make braking corrections
for more consistent testing. |
