Pinnoitusjärjestelmä

Pinnoitusjärjestelmä, also known as the Finn-automatic system, is a servo-hydraulic testing system used for crash testing and other severe loading conditions. The system was developed by Piikkiö-based company Finn-Power, now part of the global company Konecranes, in collaboration with Volvo's crash test facilities.

The Pinnoitusjärjestelmä was first introduced in the 1990s for use in testing and certification of both vehicle and aircraft components' crashworthiness. The system employs large hydraulic cylinders and advanced computer control systems to simulate severe impacts, such as crash conditions, and shock loads, such as those encountered during transition loads on aircraft. This enables accurate and repetitive testing for improving the safety aspects of vehicles and aircraft.

Key features include large cylinders and powerful hydraulic systems that allow for precise control of speed, pressure, and displacement in each test. Additionally, an advanced control software platform integrates the control logic with testing instruments, allowing for real-time monitoring and adjustment of testing parameters during experimentation.

Crash testing using Pinnoitusjärjestelmä involves simulating various collision scenarios, enabling researchers to assess structural integrity, occupant protection, and availability of stability following crashes involving severe deceleration forces. The system encompasses the simulation of crashes involving automobiles, railroads, wind turbines, other applications where this valuable testing element is critical.

By combining convenience, strong repeat capabilities, and prospective scanning capacities, the system acquired a vital place in modern testing procedures for industrial, domestic, and hazardous industrial motors.
