Button and Switch Compression Testing

In today's automobiles, a single click of a button or switch is used everywhere, including starting the engine, dashboard controls for entertainment and diagnostic information, and advanced door locking systems. This makes it critical to test the functionality of buttons or switches as the risk of a defective button could be very high including the driver not being able to enter or turn on the vehicle.

Display Panel Testing

As infotainment display panels and screens are becoming standard features in many automobiles, it is important for manufacturers to understand their mechanical reliability. These displays need to last the lifetime of the vehicle, much longer than a standard electronic device. Therefore, it is relevant to study their mechanical reliability.

Electrical Wire and Insulation

Automotive assemblies today are full of various electrical wires and cable harnesses required to transmit power and other signals to control engine operations, the on-board diagnostic computer, fuel injection system, auxiliary lights, dashboard controls, and the increasingly common infotainment system.
