END OF LINE AUTOMATION
Tested by time. Tuned for results.
End of line safety and performance begins here
Your partner in end-of-line testing and automation
From brake testers to ADAS calibration, Ascential Technologies delivers proven, integrated systems that ensure every vehicle meets the highest standards for safety, drivability, and complianceβbefore it leaves the factory floor.
Our full range of EOL solutions includes roller brake testers, rattle and twist platforms, ADAS alignment, wheel balancing, and automated assembly. Designed to simulate real-road conditions and support high-throughput production lines, our equipment helps reduce defects, validate performance, and streamline inspection workflows.
testers
Proven brake testing for light and heavy vehicles
Our brake testers come as twin roller machines designed to test the vehicle brake force at low speed (maximum 10 km/h). Four motors/reductors or gear motor assemblies are mounted directly on the roller shaft, which acts as a sensor roller for speed measurement to guarantee effective brake force determination. The moveable part on the rear or front axle is set to adapt to the vehicle wheelbase. Side rollers, vehicle detection and vehicle guiding are all part of the package as well as a fixed or adjustable exhaust flap for exhaust extraction. Additionally, the machine can be operated as a stand-alone system or can be controlled by an external master system.
Smarter brake testing starts here
Our roll and brake testing equipment comes as a single or twin roller machine. Both machine types are equipped with the latest 4AC technology with energy recuperation. The movable part on the rear or front axle is set to adapt to the vehicleβs wheelbase. Side rollers, retaining rollers or safety rollers can be selected, with vehicle detection and vehicle guiding as part of the package. The machine can be operated as a standalone system or can be controlled by an external master system. Generally, a sound insulation booth is installed to provide optimal testing conditions.

Simulated road stress for real production confidence
Burke Porter rattle and twist machines are designed to simulate a test-track environment. Road surface twisting effects are simulated by independently tilting the front and rear axle to approximately Β±10Β°. The vehicle's wheelbase is set by adjusting the rear part of the machine, making this machine ideally suited for use in both production line environments and pilot plants. Rattle and squealing noises are easily detected through this process. Furthermore, side rollers, retaining rollers, vehicle detection and vehicle guiding are part of the package and the cobblestone pattern on the rolls can be adjusted to meet the customerβs specifications.
Modular calibration systems built for evolving tech
Our calibration machines for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are equipped to handle the latest technological features found on todayβs vehicles. Designed as a modular concept, our machines meet unique customer requirements and can be integrated as a stand-alone machine. Burke Porter has extensive expertise in the testing and calibration of ADAS and can supply you with level 2 up to level 5 ADAS calibration machines.

aligning systems
3D laser alignment meets modular flexibility
Ascential Technologiesβ wheel aligner machine is equipped with Burke Porterβs 3D laser technology for high accuracy toe, camber and caster measurement. Our wheel alignment machines are modular, allowing flexibility to meet customer requirements, and can be operated as a stand-alone system or controlled by an external master system. The moveable part on the rear axle adapts to the vehicleβs wheelbase while the vehicle is positioned on four floating plates and centered. Front, rear and/or side slides offer optimal clearance for underbody adjustments and a headlight aiming facility can be fully integrated as well. Further, height and weight measurements are available in addition to the integration of several drive aid test systems. Burke Porter also supplies robotic automatic toe and headlamp adjustment.
Fully automated wheel balancing, built for speed and precision
We offer fully automated wheel balancing lines for adhesive weights, designed to handle a full range of wheel types with fast cycle times and ISO-compliant performance. The system includes both primary and audit balancers for initial and final unbalance measurement, along with automated cut-to-length and multi-color weight dispensing, weight transfer and application systems. Centralized wheel parameter control ensures consistency across machines, while semi-automated options are available for knock-on and adhesive weight applications.
balancing systems
assembly
Integrated assembly and balancing for maximum precision and efficiency
Burke Porter delivers a fully integrated wheel assembly and balancing solution designed for precision, flexibility and high throughput. System features include a bead seat optimizer for enhanced balancing and uniformity, central software and PLC control and automated wheel inflation for sizes from 17.5β to 24β using a double-bell system. Vision systems identify rim and tire types, valve angles and driving direction, while robotic handling manages rim, tire and mounting with force monitoring for quality assurance. The line supports a wide range of wheel types and includes semi-automated balancing with pick-by-light guidance, plus comprehensive uniformity evaluation using run-out and force variation measurements.
All-in-one ADAS, alignment and headlight calibration for commercial vehicles
We offer a fully integrated test stand that combines wheel alignment, ADAS calibration and robotic headlight aiming in a single, automated system. Designed for medium- to heavy-duty trucks with two to five axles, the solution features robotic ADAS target positioning for camera and radar systems, vision-guided headlight aiming and static wheel alignment with run-out compensation. A steering wheel balance feeder streamlines the process, delivering precise, repeatable results with minimal manual intervention.
