The use of nCode software for test and CAE in the product development processes of AL-KO

AL-KO, GERMANY

Introduction

Since 1931, AL-KO have been manufacturing premium, high quality components used in the automotive, commercial and leisure industry. The extensive range of AL-KO’s chassis components premium accessories and spare parts are engineered to last.

Capture and secure the fatigue life of all components and products developed by AL-KO through an accurate virtual and physical testing process. AL-KO needs to be able to make precise predictions regarding product life, performance, durability, and warranty while reducing the overall time and effort going into the development process.

AL-KO established a development and testing process that includes the use of nCode GlyphWorks for data analysis and nCode DesignLife for fatigue simulation, enabling a cost efficient, fast, and reliable development and production of new components.

  • less prototypes
  • extended durability
  • easy identification of critical locations
  • reduced costs for tooling
  • reduced development time
  • more precise tests
  • easy generation of test rig signals

AL-KO GROUP

AL-KO GROUP was originally founded in 1931, by Alois Kober, as a small metalworking shop in Großkötz near Günzburg in Swabia, Bavaria. Today the company is a global player among German SMEs, with its business division AL-KO Gardentech.
