Bosch unveils new injector test bench
Technology provider Bosch has added a new DCI 200 single common-rail injector test bench to its portfolio, which is said to enable fast and precise injector testing.
“Current emission standards and future regulations increase the importance of testing common-rail injectors of modern diesel engines,” said the company.
“Instead of outsourcing these tasks to authorised workshops, independent workshops can now make use of this market potential using the new DCI 200 injector test bench.”
The company says that the 1,979 Bosch CRI and CRIN part numbers (as of May 2022) represent almost 830 million common-rail injectors out on the roads worldwide.
“Due to short set ups and test times of 15 minutes on average, as well as the user-friendly and ergonomic design, the common-rail injectors are tested efficiently,” said Bosch.
“Using the single-injector test bench, workshops benefit from short setup and testing times as well as from easy operation.
“DCI 200 stands out for its top quality, reliability and transparency concerning Bosch injectors thanks to quick and precise measurement routines – including IMA/IQA coding.
“Sensitive high pressure hoses have become obsolete thanks to the patented rotating rail. This allows for low maintenance costs and eases the operation. DCI 200 can be used to test latest technologies such as VCC (Valve Closing Control) and NCC (Needle Closing Control) – technologies often used in LCV engines – as well as Euro-5 or Euro-6 injectors.”
A software subscription is a prerequisite for the operation of DCI 200. It allows both activation and flawless operation with regular online updates, says Bosch – and not only provides current data, but also ensures straightforward operation and pays off quickly – testing at least eight injectors.
Also available from Bosch is the DCI 700 injector test bench.
“DCI 700 is designed for workshops with rather high test volumes,” said the company. “The test bench allows testing of CRIN4.2 and CRIN common-rail injectors concomitantly.
