INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the product by ТМ MSG Equipment.
The actual User Manual contains information on application, technical characteristics, package
contents, design of MS1000+ and all the important details regarding its operation.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the test bench hardware and software
without prior notice to users.
It is strongly recommended to learn carefully the actual User Manual before putting MS1000+
(hereinafter, “the test bench”) in operation, take special training at the equipment manufacturing
facility if necessary.
Due to the continual improvement of the test bench structure and configuration as well as
firmware upgrade, some changes might not be reflected in this User Manual. The test bench
firmware will require update. Later, firmware support and maintenance can be discontinued
without prior notice to users.
1 PURPOSE
The test bench is designed to assess technical condition of shock absorbers in passenger cars
through taking their force-displacement and force-velocity characteristics.
The test bench for shock absorbers is used to do the following:
•establish whether a faulty unit should be repaired or replaced;
•check on the quality of repair;
•assess the conformity of shock absorber performance to its technical specifications;
•conduct prolonged tests.
A shock absorber can be tested on the test bench both in manual and automatic modes.
The test bench functionality enables the following:
•test all types of passenger car shock absorbers having dumping force up to 1000 kg and
equipped with different mounting mechanisms;
•save test-results;
•compare test results with reference data (before and after repair);
•generate test reports and print them on an external printer.
