A propulsion & powertrain partner that does it all
Integrated and advanced assembly, balance and test solutions
We’re committed to guiding our customers through the entire product lifecycle – from ideation to commercialization, with safety and quality top of mind. With over 70 years of industry experience, Ascential Technologies excels at test and measurement. We ensure each vehicle’s propulsion and powertrain components are safe, reliable, and perform as intended, delivering on the safety-focused brand promises that consumers expect and depend on.
End-to-end powertrain & propulsion capabilities
Solutions for your vehicle, regardless of its energy source.
For dozens of years, Burke Porter (an Ascential Technologies brand) has specialized in delivering cutting-edge ABT solutions for powertrain and propulsion systems including engines, axles and e-mobility systems. We can handle the entire end-to-end solution for every single piece on a drivetrain – right down to the wheel and tire marriage. Our solutions today span ICE, hybrid and BEV vehicles.

Drive success with state-of-the-art assembly lines
Flexible equipment on a global scale
Propulsion parts and modules are continuously growing in complexity, making adaptable and intelligent assembly line equipment more critical. With traditional approaches that lack digital capabilities, customers may experience assembly line programs that limit productivity, efficiency, data, quality and traceability. We have a broad testing approach emphasizing modular and agile automated systems that best position our customers for accurate gauging, measurement and data acquisition.
Having the right mix of state-of-the-art assembly line equipment is essential to high customer satisfaction, shorter delivery times and cost efficiencies. Ascential Technologies delivers these results through its tenured precision experience and industry lessons learned, library of proven concepts for assembly stations and modules, expertise across all propulsion systems and global scale.
In addition to advanced systems, we take a nimble, error-proofing approach, ensuring that all of the individual parts meet the requirements ahead of, during and post-assembly. And we’re able to catch errors earlier in the assembly processing and make real-time adjustments as needed. For example, with our gauge-based “dynamic gauging” assembly, we build with the allowable tolerances and adjust within the acceptable range dynamically.
With our automated assembly systems, we can:
Taking a balanced approach to production
Precise, universal balancing for the road ahead
Balancing plays an important role in the accuracy and quality of key vehicle components. Ascential Technologies offers a full range of high specification horizontal, vertical, compact and custom designed balancing machines that cater to every industry and can feature measurement-only software or include the option of manual or automatic unbalance correction. Our precision balancing machines increase your production efficiency and reduce operating costs.
A core feature is our best-in-class interface software, WinBal, which offers exceptional functionality, simplicity and ease of use. It includes an error-proofing setup and in-process validation, methods for compensating process inaccuracies, intelligent correction programs, comprehensive system self-diagnostics and more.
We also incorporate capabilities for providing balancing insights that enable improvements at earlier stages of the assembly process.
Ultimately, with Ascential Technologies’ expertise and approach, you’ll gain:
Easily pass your next test with Ascential Technologies
Complete testing technologies portfolio for all your propulsion and powertrain needs
Accurate, reliable testing to ensure vehicle safety is one of the most mission-critical pieces to the entire manufacturing process. Unfortunately, most propulsion and powertrain tests have limited intel. Without the appropriate insight, customers are unable to accurately predict quality issues and forecast future problems, which can lead to higher scrappage rates as well as labor, energy and material costs.
We have the solution.
Our test technology supports:
