From material analysis to component testing

Regardless of whether you want to test materials, structures or components – we offer you the highest standards. Using state-of-the-art test benches and certified test methods, we carry out extensive tests to ensure that your components are just as reliable in practice as they are in theory. Documented and therefore verifiable.

Industries

image

Automobile

  • Hardly any other industry faces such major challenges as the automotive industry. In the age of e-mobility, innovative materials and components are essential for maximising efficiency and sustainability.
image

Aviation

  • Maximum safety despite enormous component and material loads make the aviation industry one of the most demanding sectors of all.
image

Commercial vehicle/agricultural machinery

  • Continuous stress and a wide range of environmental influences cause a wide variety of corrosion effects in the commercial vehicle and agricultural machinery segment. Sophisticated test scenarios also ensure optimum results here.
image

Motorsport

  • Pushing the limits of what is possible and deliberately exceeding them time and again is the credo of motorsport. A highly dynamic environment in which we are constantly challenged to surpass ourselves.
image

Mechanical engineering

  • Complex requirements for highly diverse application scenarios and continuous progress guarantee constantly changing requirements for materials, components and test scenarios.
image

Chemistry

  • Lightweight construction is inconceivable without plastics and adhesives. Here too, high requirements apply in terms of load-bearing capacity and corrosion protection, which must be carefully verified.
image

Medical technology

  • Modern medical technology must fulfil even the most difficult requirements under continuous operation. For this reason, one hundred per cent reliable proof of quality is essential in this highly sensitive environment.
