CCB Burn Test Rig, built for four-channel burn-in at 0-16 bar / 120 V DC.

Introduction

The CCB Burn Test Rig is a turnkey, fully pneumatic platform designed for comprehensive burn-in and functional testing of Central Control Block (CCB) electronic brake controllers. By simulating the pressure cycles and electrical loads these controllers experience in real-world rail and automotive braking systems, the rig precipitates early-life failures, validates design robustness, and guarantees long-term reliability before units are released into service.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Multi-Channel Burn-In: Simultaneously tests up to four CCB controllers, maximizing throughput.
• Precision Pressure Control: High-accuracy regulator delivers 0-16 bar air pressure with Class 0.05 dual-scale gauge (0-16 kg/cm² | 0-220 PSI).
• Staged Reservoir Array: Eight stainless-steel tanks (two × 25 L, five × 13 L, one customer-provided 13 L) ensure stable pressure between cycles.
• Rapid UUT Hookup: BSP quick-release couplings (1½″, 1″, ½″, ¼″) and 3 m braided hoses on reels enable fast changeovers.
• Compact Mobility: All components — filters, valves, gauges, power supply — are mounted on a wheeled extruded-aluminum frame for easy relocation.
• Integrated DC Power: Dual-output 0-120 V DC @ 7 A supply powers controller electronics under test.

Components & Technical Specifications

Operational Guidelines

Do's

• Keep hoses, reservoirs, and fittings clean and debris-free.
• Confirm inlet air supply integrity and zero leaks before pressurization.
• Adhere to the prescribed test sequence and timing.
• Verify correct valve positions (open/closed) per test setup.
• Monitor gauges and digital indicators throughout testing.

Don'ts

• Never disconnect hoses under pressure.
• Do not perform maintenance until the system is fully vented.
• Avoid introducing contaminants into air lines or tubing.
• Do not operate with loose or damaged connections.

Maintenance & Calibration Schedule

Safety & Compliance

High-Pressure Precautions: Only qualified personnel; follow lock-out/tag-out and high-pressure safety protocols. Certified Components: All gauges are supplied with traceable calibration certificates and the system is designed to comply with EN 50155 and IEC 61373, along with other relevant standards. Documentation Package: Comprehensive operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance manuals are included.

Applications

The rig seamlessly integrates into OEM production lines for 100% burn-in and design verification, and into Tier-1 supplier quality-assurance workflows for batch testing and incoming inspection. Railway operators and depots use it for in-service health checks, refurbishment validation, and predictive maintenance. Independent labs leverage its multiunit capacity and data-logging for contract and standards-compliance testing, while R&D teams combine it with environmental chambers for advanced thermo-pneumatic stress screening and manufacturing process optimization.

Conclusion

By combining precise pneumatic control, robust modular design, and industry-proven burn-in methodologies, the CCB Burn Test Rig delivers unparalleled reliability validation for brake controller electronics. It uncovers latent defects, enforces stringent safety standards, and drives continuous quality improvements — ensuring reliable performance of brake controllers critical to rail and automotive safety.

As a pneumatic burn-in tester and brake controller test bench, modern CCB Burn Test Rig setups support CCB endurance testing, multi-channel burn-in systems, and rail brake controller testing, enabling simultaneous evaluation of multiple units with high accuracy. Automotive brake controller burn-in rigs, combined with precision pressure cycling rigs, allow high-throughput evaluation while maintaining rigorous quality standards — ensuring consistent, reliable, and safe brake controller performance across rail and automotive applications.
