Instrument Cluster Testing Solutions
Accurate and trusted testing
As we all know, electronic instrument cluster testing is complex. At ALPHR Technology, we partner with the leading technology OEMs to deliver systems to calibrate gauges, and to check the brightness and colour of tell-tale warning lamps. These partnerships are particularly beneficial in the field of video analysis and pattern recognition.
Cluster Testing Machines
Our test machines can be standalone or fully automated as part of a palletised line. We also ensure flexibility by developing systems that can test multiple variants, with full traceability and data management.
Please do contact us to find out more about how ALPHR can help. Our solutions are available across the UK and worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is instrument cluster testing?
Instrument cluster testing is the process of verifying the performance, calibration, and display accuracy of a vehicle’s dashboard unit. It ensures gauges, warning lights, and digital displays function correctly before installation into a vehicle.
Why is instrument cluster testing important?
Testing ensures the accuracy, safety, and reliability of vehicle instrumentation. Faulty clusters can lead to incorrect readings for speed, fuel, and warning indicators, which could affect both compliance and driver safety.
What parameters are tested in an instrument cluster?
ALPHR’s test systems evaluate:
- Gauge calibration (speedometer, tachometer, etc.)
- LED brightness and colour for tell-tale indicators
- Pattern recognition and video analysis
- Communication protocols (CAN, LIN, etc.)
- Pixel integrity and backlight uniformity
Can one system test multiple cluster variants?
Yes. Our solutions are designed to accommodate multiple cluster types and product variants. This flexibility helps manufacturers reduce tooling costs, streamline production, and adapt to model updates more efficiently.
Do your systems support traceability?
Absolutely. ALPHR’s instrument cluster testing machines offer full traceability, capturing and storing test results for compliance, quality assurance, and future analysis.
Are your cluster testers available globally?
Yes. We support customers across the UK, Europe, and worldwide, offering global delivery, service, and support through our network and Indutrade Group partners.
