R&D
Always evolving

Our R&D department

The automotive industry is constantly evolving. And so are we. With over thirty years of experience in developing and revising power steering systems – and much more – we have built up a lot of knowledge. This strong foundation forms the basis of our R&D department. This department ensures that we continue to evolve. In all aspects.

R&D at Auto Elect

Research and development (R&D) stands for 'research and development'. With our team, we delve into various topics and strive for innovation.
  • We conduct research to expand our knowledge.
  • We work creatively, systematically, and methodically to find solutions to practical problems.
  • We translate ideas and prototypes into usable processes and products.
Some of the new developments we are involved in include hybrid batteries and cycloidal drive.

Technical specialists

Our R&D department consists of a team of technical specialists. They work closely with our experienced professionals on the shop floor. On one hand, they get to know the market demand, and on the other hand, they keep everyone updated on new techniques. To verify the performance of these techniques, we continuously invest in advanced testing equipment.

Advanced testing equipment

  • We have test benches that allow us to check many different components, such as steering racks, steering columns, and power steering pumps. All our test benches operate according to the FlexRay protocol. Additionally, in collaboration with test bench suppliers, we are able to add support for unsupported components.
  • We have developed a tool to tension the belt between the electric motor and the spindle. This ensures optimal operation of the power steering after replacing the belt.
  • We reprogram steering racks. This allows us to either renew them or update them with the latest software.
  • We have created an emulator based on RBS technology. With this emulator, we can test EPS steering columns and steering racks, perform SAS calibrations, and remove error codes. The emulator is integrated into our existing test bench and receives periodic updates. This ensures that all EPS steering columns and steering racks are thoroughly checked.
  • We can test EGR and MAF sensors. Based on different conditions, we check for abnormal output. This can happen when an EGR valve circulates insufficiently or excessively. Or when an MAF sensor disrupts the air-fuel ratio of the engine. Based on the results, we know exactly what needs improvement.

Passion for the profession

We continue to evolve. Because we have a passion for our profession, but also because our work is of great significance to the circular economy. Products that have been used deserve a second life. With our expert and experienced team, we are committed to that. Now and in the future.
