KUNZ 222.2000 BTS NGtronic Aircraft Brake Test Stand with Turntable

The BTS NGtronic is considered next-generation because it integrates automation, digital controls, and advanced safety systems into a single testing unit. Its touchscreen interface simplifies operation, while StepMatic® programming streamlines repetitive testing. Combined with precision transducers and remote maintenance capabilities, it offers higher efficiency and accuracy than traditional test stands.

StepMatic® allows operators to pre-program up to 60 brake part numbers with corresponding test sequences, including pressure settings, cycle intervals, and time parameters. The system automatically guides the operator step by step, requiring only a confirmation to proceed. This significantly reduces setup time, improves repeatability, and ensures compliance with CMM requirements.

Safety is prioritized through interlocked doors equipped with electrical safety switches, which prevent operator access while the system is running. The transparent protective cover allows observation without exposure to moving parts. These features minimize operator risk while maintaining full visibility of the brake under test.

The BTS NGtronic is fitted with an integrated cooling fan and heating system that stabilize the hydraulic oil temperature during testing. This minimizes pressure fluctuations caused by environmental or operational temperature changes, ensuring consistent and highly accurate test results even under variable shop conditions.

Yes, the BTS NGtronic includes built-in monitoring that alerts operators when a filter becomes contaminated. This early warning system helps maintain optimal performance and reduces the risk of inaccurate results or downtime due to clogged filters.

The test stand includes an electrical refilling pump that makes it easy to top up the oil reservoir during operation. In addition, digital displays for oil temperature and oil level give operators clear visibility of fluid conditions at all times. Together, these features simplify maintenance and reduce operator workload.

The digital pressure transducers measure with an accuracy of 0.125% of full scale, ensuring highly reliable readings throughout the test cycle. These transducers give operators confidence that results reflect the true performance of the brake system. Their precision is critical for compliance with aviation standards.

Yes, the unit includes a cycling test mode that automatically performs pressure release and build-up sequences. Using the digital keypad, operators can adjust the number of cycles and the time intervals between them. This automation saves time and ensures consistent testing across multiple brakes.

The unit can be programmed to comply with the CMM of specific brakes, allowing customized test sequences for a wide variety of models. Operators can save multiple programs for quick retrieval, which helps streamline workflow in MRO and airline facilities. With up to 60 brake part numbers storable, it’s well-suited for high-volume operations.

Yes, remote maintenance can be performed by KUNZ technicians for quick troubleshooting and software updates. This feature reduces downtime by allowing issues to be addressed without needing to ship the unit or wait for on-site support. It also makes it easy to apply updates that improve performance or add new features.

The BTS NGtronic is designed with user-friendly controls, including a large 9” touchscreen that simplifies navigation through test menus. Step-by-step prompts and programmable test sequences reduce the learning curve for first-time users. Even less experienced technicians can quickly perform accurate brake testing with minimal training.

Yes, the system is designed for single-operator use. With its automated cycle testing, touchscreen controls, and safety interlocks, one technician can manage the entire test process from start to finish. This design increases shop efficiency and reduces the manpower needed compared to older, less automated systems.

Because test programs can be stored and recalled for up to 60 brake part numbers, different technicians can run the same test with identical parameters. This consistency eliminates operator-to-operator variability and ensures results remain reliable, regardless of who is running the equipment.

Yes, the KUNZ 222.2000 Brake Test Stand (BTS) can be programmed to comply with the requirements of the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM). Its automated design allows operators to run test sequences tailored to specific brake models, ensuring both accuracy and regulatory compliance. 

The BTS also offers flexibility in setup and customization, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial and military aircraft brakes. For help selecting the right configuration for your operation, reach out to PJi’s dedicated KUNZ specialist today!
