The importance of electrically powered vehicles is growing, and with it their vulnerability to magnetic and electrical fields. Antennas or high-voltage lines can create interference. Furthermore, vehicles can emit electromagnetic pollution to their occupants.

The requirements for electromagnetic compatibility certification are evolving because quasistatic condition test cycles (more or less constant speed) are no longer sufficient. A test cycle that more closely reflects real-life use is necessary, such as the WLTC.

These tests require robotic speed and precision that could not be achieved by the pneumatic robots used so far. Stähle is therefore launching a new model – SAP2000V – based on the well-proven SAP2000 electric robot, with added insulation that meets the requirements for EMC test cell working conditions. The robot controller inside the vehicle is powered by an internal battery and interfaced via fiber-optic cables. The driving software enables repeated operation with different driving styles. Its performance is identical to that of SAP2000 on a chassis dynamometer, which ensures best traceability in the development and verification of vehicles.
