VTR 200
THE MODEL
The Turbo Technics VTR 200 (Vane Flow Test Rig) was developed as part of a remanufacturing program for variable geometry turbos specifically targeting OEM vehicle manufacturers. The same technology is now available in the aftermarket for higher volume customers.
The VTR200 is designed to verify the flow and actuator characteristics of variable geometry turbos and to conform to the original manufacturer specifications.
Remanufacturers and repairers can now have the confidence to rebuild turbos equipped with variable geometry mechanisms knowing that they can reset those mechanisms to OEM equivalent configurations. Importantly, machine operation closely follows the methods used by OEMs on their production lines, providing a reliable setup procedure for the remanufacturing industry.
FLOW ADJUSTMENT PROCESS
ALL VNT TURBOS
Unlike other flow verification machines available on the market, the VTR200 follows the same test method used by turbo OE manufacturers in original manufacture. The quick-release mounting adapter system allows the air connection to the turbo to be detached from the machine and then ‘plugged’ in for testing. The precision air measurement system ensures a high degree of precision, and the comprehensive software fully compensates for changes in air pressure, temperature, humidity and altitude, providing consistent results in all environments. Flow adjustments are made ‘live’, with the turbo fully assembled, speeding up the setup process, and the actuator response is graphically displayed on the screen. Position sensor voltages can also be displayed graphically, and test data can be saved / printed.
Mass flow is corrected to standard reference conditions and compared to a template supplied by TT based on original units. Then a ‘live’ adjustment is made to the turbo VNT mechanism until a pass is achieved. In addition to the wide range of templates supplied by TT, customer operators can create their own templates
The VTR200 can control both pressure and vacuum actuators as standard, with plug-in electronic actuator controllers available as add-ons for virtually all types of electronic actuators, including REA, SREA, CAN, and PWM. Compared to the VTR100, the VTR200 also tracks the movement of the actuator on the screen using an ultrasonic sensor, allowing adjustment and configuration of the bar length
UK DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
LATEST TECHNOLOGY
As with all TT machines, the VTR 200 uses the latest touch screen technology, an intuitive interface, and built-in connectivity that enables remote TT technical support over the Internet. Easy-to-use software can be quickly mastered in a few hours with additional free training available at TT UK HQ if needed.
A complete database of software templates can be accessed from TT via the Internet.
All Turbo Technics machines are designed and built in the UK and available through the TT dealer network.
