Motorcycle Engine Testing

Problem: A motorcycle manufacturer is testing various parts of an engine to make sure the rigid manufacturing and quality standards are being met.

1. Leak Test the flywheel cavity, cam chest cavity, cylinder deck, and oil pump mounting face @ 25 psig with a reject rate of 12 scc/m.
2. Leak Test the transmission cavity @ 10 psig with a reject leak rate of 8 scc/m.
3. Leak Test the high pressure oil feed passageway, lifter bores, oil filter mount and both oil jet assemblies @ 60 psig with a max. reject leak of 8 scc/min.

CTS Solution: Cincinnati Test Systems developed a single-station leak detection test stand that can be manually loaded and unloaded. A robot interface was also provided. The leak tests are performed by the CTS Sentinel I-24 mass flow instrument. Control is provided by an Allen-Bradley SLC-5/05 PLC with an operator interface through a PC.
