Michigan Custom Machines, Inc. Introduces Programmable Fuel Injection Module: Raises Testing Standard of Today's Advanced Diesel Injectors

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Aug. 27, 2004 -- Michigan Custom Machines, Inc. (MCM), leading designers and builders of custom test and assembly equipment, announces the introduction of the Programmable Fuel Injection Module (PFIM). MCM developed the innovative test solution to meet the challenges of today's sophisticated and highly efficient diesel fuel injectors. The PFIM provides engine manufactures with a means of firing a diesel fuel injector in a manner that duplicates the vehicle application.

Testing advanced electronic diesel injectors requires more power and precise control than a typical gasoline injector. The timing and operation of injectors is critical and directly affects the performance of the engine. MCM's PFIM module provides OEMs testing accuracy and control for a variety of injectors. The flexible module can be used to fire a diesel injector or group of injectors with a precise waveform fully configurable by the end user.

PFIM was designed for OEM future product development, giving extended experimental range over the production ECU; test bench integration for endurance testing a complete diesel fuel system; production test machine integration for in-line and end-of-line testing; lab bench or audit bench integration; expanded use with custom firmware; and for users that test several injector types and brands on the same equipment. Using MCM's PFIM for testing applications eliminates the need to address propriety OEM communication protocols.

Notes Michael Schena, President of MCM, "The highly-anticipated PFIM solves a critical challenge for manufacturers of today's high-performance diesel fuel injectors. The programmable features of the module deliver flexibility and value over what has currently been available in the market."
