    Electronic control units and ignition systems – workshop

    Engineering

    Our design engineers are closely networked with our in-house production and international research teams. Here we develop innovative, technically feasible and affordable products for future markets.

    Software development

    Software development

    Customer-specific
    system solutions

    Our embedded real-time systems utilise state of the art software modelling techniques using applications including Matlab/Simulink and Targetlink. Rapid control prototyping ensures fast development of control systems.

    The software quality is ensured through the implementation of modern code analysis tools whilst customer-specific diagnostic functions make servicing easier.

    Testing equipment development

    Testing equipment development

    Product-specific and fully
    integrated into production

    An experienced in-house team of testing and analysis specialists is responsible for the highest possible quality, focusing on delivering first class product that matches your expectations. The testing equipment is networked both to the production processes and automated production centers.

    In-circuit, function, and product-specific tests ensure 100% testing coverage.

    Hardwareentwicklung

    Hardware development

    Complete systems at the
    highest level

    PRUFREX develops high-performance control units and ignition spark generators. Our hardware guarantees minimum footprint due to maximum integration. Featuring an EMC robust design, it provides support for all popular interfaces and protocols.

    Our Hardware development team work closely with our in-house production department to ensure efficient prototyping and production-oriented engineering from the outset.

    Engineering

    Engineering

    From concept to production

    By having our own in-house product and tool design, we are able to support development from concept through design safety and prototyping, all the way to the first production run.

    RAPID prototyping with own 3D printer, in-house CAD/CAE development, and a broad spectrum of further analysis, simulation and design tools ensure the fulfilment of technical requirements and budgetary compliance.

    Testing and analysis

    Testing and analysis

    Modern test stations, developed by Prufrex

    Environmental tests, materials analyses, shock resistance measurements, thermal gradient tests, and endurance runs – shows how our testing and analysis department rates, tests and qualifies components and products under realistic conditions.

    We safeguard all development phases with wide-ranging tests and require100% reliability for the final pre-delivery test.
