The braking efficiency for both cam brakes
ABS system functioning is critical for exercising control of the vehicle in adverse situations that can avoid the risk of accidents.. The functioning of the brake system can be out of specification due to maintenance issues that will render the stopping distance of trucks to increase.Vehicle Inspection Systems - VIS is a manufacturer, designer and markets a variety of heavy duty transportation service equipment that includes:• VIS Polish Robotic Aluminum wheel polishing service machines• VIS Check• VIS Shine• The Squirrel• HD Power smoke• The Leek Seeker• Wet Dust Collector• VIS- Nitro• Brake MateThe core philosophy of VIS has been focused on safety by manufacturing and distributing equipment that enhances the safety of the truck while on road as well make maintenance as easy as possible.
It makes sense for truck owners and drivers to get their vehicles to the nearest VIS equipped system with truck brake testing equipment and prevent penalties, and downtime during the law enforcement led drive. This approach enables truck and fleet owners to reduce brake related violations that include:• loose parts• air leaks• worn out linings• eroded brake pads• scratches in drums• rotor bearings out of sync• Non-functioning indicator lamps in ABS systems• Measuring pushrod stroke among other faultsThe overall braking efficiency is tested using performance based brake testing equipment of which VIS is an industry leader. Damage to brake equipment is never visible to the eye or a spot inspection.) is keeping the safety of the driver and the truck as the Holy Grail philosophy in their approach to vehicle inspection systems. The braking efficiency for both cam brakes as well as air disc brake systems is calculated. The exercise is welcome to prevent unwanted accidents or mishaps due to improper brake systems.At the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's (CVSA) Brake Safety Week, (Sep 11-17 of 2016) relevant authorities will be inspecting heavy transport vehicles to identify brakes that are not working as per specification and violation of ABS - anti-lock braking system. The reporting system generates automatic testing parameters for immediate and base line analysis..
They should work in hostile conditions of weather with dust on the road as the biggest enemy of the brake calipers.Brake Testing EquipmentThe brakes on a truck are the principal means of stopping the vehicle. The reduction in risk to driver and public safety is apparent as VIS systems bring automation in maintenance equipment. The equipment wear and tear causes metal fatigue and the stresses during a braking operation can cause untold damage to the driver and the truck.5 decades the Vehicle Inspection Systems (based in Orlando, Florida. VIS has developed truck assessment systems that go beyond standard scrutiny. The systems measure total weight of vehicle with total brake force measured on a slow speed roller dynamometer.Calculation of brake testing efficiencyFor more than 2
