Electronics and motors for vehicle doors
The trend towards greater comfort in the car will continue, while, at the same time, vehicle manufacturers are faced with stricter safety requirements. Both these developments have led to a rising proportion of power-controlled functions. In premium cars today, over 40 % of the value of a car is driven by electronics.
Electric motors and electronics are an integral part of our products as well. That’s why Brose develops the relevant control-units itself or in close collaboration with its suppliers. Additionally, some of the company’s electronics are produced in-house.

“Anti-trap feature”
for window regulators
The electronic “anti-trap feature” for window regulators (5th generation) has, in addition to the express up comfort function and central closing/opening, a safety function which detects obstacles: the closing window stops and reverses. The electronics are mounted directly on the drive unit, thus reducing the wiring required. Simulation tools are used at an early stage for electronics and mechanics development to ensure compliance with the strictest legal safety requirements regarding anti-trap technology.

Door control-unit
Apart from the window regulator drive, the door control-units regulate many functions which make driving a car more comfortable: e.g. the power adjustment of the outside mirror and the steering-wheel. The scope of functions is variable and depends on the equipment intended for any specific vehicle. All control-units are integrated through standardized, scalable interfaces into the door systems and motors.

Brose Microcontroller
Brose develops microcontrollers for window regulator and door control units which are tailored exactly to this area of application. The latest development of this product family is significantly smaller than comparable solutions. It has a LIN-bus interface and can be programmed directly in the vehicle. Due to its flexibility, it can be used for new functional areas – for instance, to control the sunblind.
