Adaptability and scalability

In mechanical tests, which undergo numerous changes throughout the design and production phases, adaptability is key. This is achieved through exchangeable tooling, adaptable connection elements, and software recipes. Upgrades or adjustments can be seamlessly implemented without incurring high costs or causing longer production downtime.

Advanced quality control through
automated mechanical testing

Automation in quality control is essential for maintaining product quality and manufacturing efficiency. We provide specialized mechanical testing solutions that integrate into production lines to ensure high standards of quality control. Available are various testing options, including fully automated systems with part manipulators, and semi-automatic and manual testing.

Mechanical testing solutions integrate into existing production lines with minimal disruption. They can be reconfigured for various products by replacing interfaces and reconfiguring measuring equipment, providing flexibility and efficiency. This adaptability ensures that our solutions meet evolving testing requirements and maintain consistent quality control.

Tailored mechanical testing for
diverse production needs

Testing interface elements are internally designed and built according to product specifications and customer needs. We customize our testing systems to suit the unique requirements of your production environment, whether you need portable or in-line testing solutions.

Covering a wide range of parameters, including strength, durability, surface quality, and functionality, our mechanical testing solutions provide real-time measurements and 100% traceability.

By offering modular testing components, we enable a scalable approach that grows with your production needs. This flexibility ensures that as your product range expands or evolves, your testing capabilities can adapt without the need for significant reinvestment.

Backpressure testing

Back pressure testing in catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPFs) is a crucial evaluation method used to assess their functionality and performance. During the test, the catalytic converter is subjected to a controlled increase in pressure to simulate real-world conditions. Specialized equipment measures the resistance encountered by air (simulating the exhaust gases) as it passes through.

The testing process includes measuring the back pressure generated at various points under different operating conditions. By comparing the measured back pressure values to established thresholds or specifications, technicians can determine potential issues such as clogging, blockages, or deterioration of the catalyst material within the converter or filter.

5 Leakage Testing Landscape

Leakage testing

Leakage testing is essential for verifying the quality of hermetically sealed products. This process ensures that all products meet the required standards by checking for proper sealing of critical components.

During the test, the product is pressurized or vacuumized and loaded into a customized test nest connected to the leakage test system. The test establishes a controlled environment inside the product to monitor the pressure or vacuum in real-time, detecting any potential leaks. If the pressure or vacuum remains stable at the required level for a predefined duration, the product is confirmed to meet quality standards.

The leakage test system can be seamlessly integrated into automatic production lines, semi-automatic machines, or manual test stations. Our in-house team develops custom nests / fixtures to meet various demands and standards, providing a tailored approach to leakage testing.
