A look inside the MCD test solution
Variant-specific test logic
The test bench checks all functions present in the exterior mirror:
Mirror Settings
Camera systems inspect lighting functions and mirror positions, while actuators, folding mechanisms and electrical functions are tested automatically.
Adjustment and folding functions
Mirror heating
Electrochromic dimming glass
Lighting Functions
Turn signal
Lane change assist
Surround lighting
Camera Function
Different equipment features are detected automatically and tested accordingly.
Camera function
Country-specific variants
What’s missing matters, too.
Negative testing ensures that equipment features which are not installed cannot be activated. It also verifies that missing features remain unavailable.
The open and scalable architecture makes MCD TestMate suitable for testing tasks in development, validation and series production. Existing measuring devices, actuators, robot systems and higher-level systems can be flexibly integrated and centrally controlled.
