TECHNOLOGY CENTER
The Grieskirchner Technology and Innovation Centre is one of the largest centres of expertise in Europe. Here, Pöttinger has integrated a modern testing centre to simulate the harshest operating conditions and establish material stress limits.
| The showpiece of the new testing centre is the multi-axis shaker table (MAST). This apparatus can simulate acceleration forces equivalent to a rocket taking off and vibrations similar to an earthquake. Loads of up to 4.5 tonnes can be tested on this test stand, unique in agricultural engineering. |  Multi-Axis Shaker Table MAST | |
 4-poster test bed |
The 4-poster test bed is used to simulate the entire service life of each Pöttinger machine in quick motion. That translates into a time saving of up to 75% compared to a field test. | |
| The performance of transmission components is tested in driveline tests. Operating stresses can be simulated on the driveline with outputs of up to 250 kW / 340 hp and a torque of up to 5000 Nm generated independently of rpm. | ||
A climate chamber makes electronics hot and cold: electronic components can be subjected to temperatures of –70°C to +180 °C.
The component testing station consists of precision dynamic pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. Tools, frameworks and chassis can be endurance-tested here.
