Vehicle engineering proven on road and rig.
Every part on a vehicle is being used up from the first kilometre. We design them to see the odometer out.
The road writes the load case.
A part that passes every bench test can still die young on corrugations, potholes and the millionth cycle of a loaded tray. Vehicles accumulate damage faster than any brochure admits. The failure surfaces long after the part goes into service.
Novantum designs and verifies components against measured road loads, derived spectra and the abuse cases in between. The part we deliver is one you can put a warranty behind.
A bracket looks minor but carries real load. We design it for that load, and for the years it has to last.
- –Brackets, mounts and chassis-attached components, designed and verified
- –Suspension and driveline components analysed for stiffness and fatigue
- –Lightweighting with the margin intact
Trays, bodies and vehicle-mounted equipment are structures first, and we engineer them that way.
- –Truck bodies, trays, racks and tanks, engineered to carry load
- –Chassis mounting verified for road and off-road service
- –Load restraint structures designed to the applicable standard
Duty cycles decide component life. We quantify fatigue before the fleet finds it out.
- –Fatigue life against measured or derived load spectra
- –Test and rig correlation, predictions checked against the hardware
- –Environmental qualification managed through accredited labs, from thermal to vibration
- –Test rigs designed, their build managed, commissioned and put to work
- –Failure investigation to root cause, with the corrective action defined
A design is finished when manufacture cannot misread it. We hand over packs that build clean.
- –Drawing packs with GD&T that survives the shop floor
- –Parts designed for the process, sheet metal to machining
- –Components certified overseas, proven against Australian requirements with the difference documented
- –Vehicle modifications designed to ADR requirements, with the evidence that carries the approval
- –Change-managed documentation, current at every revision
Tell us the part's worst day.
The component, the vehicle it rides on, the destination it has to reach. We design for everything the route demands, then prove it.
