THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SENSOR PROGRAMME IN THE AFTERMARKET

The number of different sensors used in motor vehicles has dramatically increased in recent years. Compact vehicle models are currently equipped with more than 50 individual sensors and sensor-based systems.

The majority of sensors are not affected by wear and tear, however, accidents or other infl uences can cause damage. Of particular importance for the everyday workshop practice are, amongst others, air mass meters, speed, pressure and temperature sensors. 

As a spare parts supplier, Triscan offers the most comprehensive aftermarket range in this category. Suitable spare parts can be found for almost all repair applications and practically all car brands.

SENSOR TYPES

• Brake system - ABS-sensors and brake wear indicators
• Cooling sytem - Water temperature sensors
• Engine management - DPS, EGR, EGTS, throttlebodies, cam and crank shaft position sensors, oxygen sensors, air flow meters, MAP-sensors
• Body - PDS

100% FUNCTIONAL TEST OF THE INDIVIDUAL SENSORS

The Triscan sensors programme is continually expaned and includes sensor types based on ultra-modern microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The production is subject to the strict quality standards of the automotive industry IATF 16949 and furthermore often includes a 100% functional test of the individual sensors.

WE DO THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENT...
We know that our sourcing process in several ways is quite special. The reason for this is that we wish to:

• Be able to offer consistent high quality
• Have a very low claim rate
• Ensure that Triscan parts are manufactured under proper conditions

Triscan spare parts are often manufactured by automotive subcontractors certified according to the industry’s strict quality assurance standard - IATF 16949. If a manufacturer is not certified according to IATF 16949, and there is no production of spare parts that pose a safety risk, we are satisfied with a certification according to ISO 9001.
The manufacturing of spare parts takes place world wide and especially outside Europe. There can be a big difference in the conditions under which production takes place. Even though it is both expensive and time-consuming, our product managers always visit a new manufacturer prior to establishing a collaboration. One of the benefits of such visits is that we clarify whether the  production conditions meet our requirements.

OUR OWN IN-HOUSE TESTCENTER...
Although we ensure that Triscan spare parts are subject to rigorous quality control during manufacture by our manufacturers, we do not stop here. When receiving goods, we carry out random checks of various kinds. It can for example be:

• Checking dimensions according to technical drawings
• Product comparison according to our comprehensive sample stock
• Functional or material testing in our in-house test center
• Tests conducted by independent external institutes

Our in-house testcenter plays a major role in development, quality assurance and complaints handling.
