• Motion Control Systems: ILERI’s motion control products, such as control arms and actuators, are engineered for superior handling and stability, crucial for public transportation vehicles.
• Welded Fabrication: Our welded fabrication services include advanced robotic and non-robotic assembly techniques, ensuring the creation of high-strength, durable components essential for the bus and coach sector.

Verification and Validation: Pushing Products to Their Limits

Our state-of-the-art PV&V Center (Verification and Validation) plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and safety of our products. We conduct rigorous testing, including endurance and life cycle testing, extreme load assessments, climatic testing, and ingress protection tests. These capabilities allow us to validate the performance of our components in real-world scenarios.

• Dynamic Stiffness Testing: A key part of our PV&V capabilities, dynamic stiffness testing measures how our products, like latches and motion controls, withstand varying forces. This ensures that our components maintain structural integrity under different operational conditions, directly contributing to the safety and performance of buses.
• Salt Spray and Corrosion Resistance: Our products undergo salt spray testing to evaluate their resistance to corrosion, a critical factor for components exposed to harsh weather conditions and road salts.
• Destructive and Non-Destructive Weld Testing: Our testing methods ensure that welded joints maintain their strength and durability, essential for the structural components used in heavy-duty transportation.
