Several months ago we ordered what would be the very first
Rabotti IPC200 EUI (Electronic Unit Injector) test bench
delivered to North America! It was
recently delivered and installed, and we feel that this test
bench has taken EUI testing to a new level. There are
several different systems available for testing EUI's, but none
have offered the capabilities of the IPC200.
Our main intent behind purchasing this test bench was to improve
the time taken to diagnose and calibrate EUI's. The IPC200
has done that, but it has also enabled us to improve the
consistency and the quality of our remanufactured EUI's, and
ultimately this provides a better product for our customers.
The IPC200 is computer controlled, and provides us with test
results for all functions of an EUI. These include:
Fuel Delivery: We can read fuel delivery both in
cc's per 1000 strokes, or in what is becoming an EUI
standard, cc's per minute. However, contrary to other
test equipment results, fuel delivery is not the only thing
we are concerned about ...
Injector Response Time: Injector response time is
critical for an EUI. This is the time it takes for the
injector to respond to the signal that is sent from the host
ECM (Engine Control Module). Many EUI problems are
related to either too short or too long injector response
times. Not only can we measure this time, but we can
also see time vs. pressure and/or time vs. current for the
entire injection cycle. However, an injector with the proper
response time, as well as the proper fuel delivery, may
still not be the best injector ...
Peak Injection Pressure: Peak Injection Pressure
(PIP) is the maximum injection pressure reached during the
injection cycle, and this value can approach 2000 Bar
(29,000 PSI) in some types of EUI's. The proper PIP is
very important, and can only be obtained if all of the EUI's
components are working properly. PIP will
determine in part how well the fuel is atomized. PIP
can be too low, or even too high, and either way the
injector is not functioning as it should. Even when
all other test results are ok, invalid PIP values will
certainly have an effect on performance and/or fuel economy.
We tested injectors from several different
suppliers, and the results are surprising!
Going, going, gone ... our extra
test benches have all been sold! We still have some
special tools and adaptors available at final reduced prices. See the details
