 "Henkel opens acoustic lab in Pune for automotive industry")
Henkel Adhesives Technologies India Pvt Ltd – the manufacturer of adhesives, sealants and functional coatings – has opened an acoustic lab at its Pune innovation centre for automotive and general industry. The lab will enable the company to offer cutting-edge solutions to meet the evolving and challenging requirements of customers in the area of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
The acoustic lab will facilitate vehicle and component level testing for different applications as per international standards. It will also help meet high level product validation tests based on customer requirements. Henkel’s trained team of engineers analyse acoustic material properties of structures and panels to determine their effectiveness in automotive, off-road equipment and appliance applications. With the latest equipment and software, to perform measurements and analysis, Henkel is able to offer full capabilities including computer aided engineering (CAE), finite element analysis (FEA) and lab testing.
“Both noise and vibration play a crucial role in a vehicle’s quality. Automotive OEMs have started developing vehicles with competitive NVH performance in shorter design cycles, and at lower development and vehicle costs. At Henkel, we put our customers at the centre of what we do and work closely with them to develop solutions to challenges faced by them. At this acoustic lab we will collaborate with our customers by solving NVH problems,” said Shilip Kumar, country president, Henkel India and business director, transportation & metal SBU, Henkel IMEA.
Established in 2013, Henkel’s innovation centre in Pune, India’s automotive and industrial hub, has helped improve customers’ processes through innovations, made them more efficient and enabled cost savings. With the new acoustic NVH capabilities, the centre will provide a boost to the existing simulated environment for the automotive, off-road equipment and appliance industry portfolio’s acoustic structures.
