Operation Philosophy
- The HRD is designed for high rate discharge testing of automotive and batteries. The operator can perform a short test on each battery to find defects such as poor welds, reversed plates, and poorly formed batteries.
- The working head is equipped with pneumatic clamps for clamping the battery terminals, which provide a hermetic contact with the terminals.
- Installation of clamping tools for different types of batteries is easy and fast.The machine is equipped with a motorized conveyor with a simple and quick adjustment of the guides.
