Building a rotating test bench from scratch is a high-risk investment of engineering hours. Often, the “Entry-Level Burdens” of low-level hardware integration consume the majority of your project budget before the first measurement is even taken. With the rotabench® EPS Mod. 5, we are changing the game for system integrators.
The Challenge: Bridging the “Low-Level” Gap
The major challenge in system integration is bridging the gap between tedious hardware-level tasks and high-level application functionality. A standard test bench requires at least an industrial drive, torque sensors, safety controllers, and an automation PC. The time spent programming inverters or debugging sensor signals is time lost for developing your unique application logic.
The Solution: rotabench® EPS as your Unified Link
The rotabench® EPS acts as an intelligent link between your high-level application and the physical hardware. It provides a pre-engineered core that standardizes the interaction between all components.
- Drive Control: Direct speed or torque control without the need for deep-level inverter programming.
- Torque & Speed: 1:1 plug-in for professional sensors (e.g., Kistler 4503) with integrated high-speed signal processing.
- Integrated Safety: Built-in interface to bridge the emergency stop circuit between hardware and software.
- Clean Interface: All data is pre-processed and delivered via one single TCP/IP or CAN interface.
Infinite Markets – One Core
Anything that rotates needs to be tested. The rotabench® EPS is the foundation that grows with your needs across various industries:
| Automotive & E-Mobility | Home & Professional | Industrial & Green Tech |
| E-Bike & Micro-Drives | Battery Power Tools | Heat Pump Compressors |
| Chassis Actuators (EPS) | Garden Tech | Wind Energy Components |
| Active Suspension | Personal Care | Conveyor & AGV Drives |
Scalability Without Limits
We designed the rotabench® EPS to be the beginning, not the end. It makes complex hardware as easy to handle as a digital multimeter with an Ethernet port.
- Software that Scales: Start with the included Basic Edition for commissioning and upgrade to the Professional Suite for full automation
- Open for your Code: Seamless integration into your own LabVIEW, Python, or C# environments via Open API.
- Form Factors: Available as a barebone PCB, in a DIN-rail housing (Plastic/Metal), or as a 19″ rack insert.
