The most common tests carried out in this laboratory are:
- Fatigue and durability tests on any type of component or part under room temperature or under controlled climatic conditions
- Regulatory tests (ECE 11, ECE 14 and ECE 17)
- Impact and intrusion tests
- Alternative pressure fatigue tests
- Mechanical characterisation tests, fracture strength test, etc.
- The laboratory has different accreditations (OEMs and ENAC ISO 17025)
Equipment
- Servo hydraulic test benches:
- Simultaneous operation of up to 16 cylinders
- Control by load or displacement
- Any type of cyclic tests (sine, square, triangular) or characterisation tests
- The cylinders reach velocities of up to 1,6 m/s and forces of 50 kN
- Multi-axis testing and time signal reproduction with RPC
- Specific benches for regulatory tests ECE 11, ECE 14, ECE 17
- Pneumatic test benches:
- Specific benches for door testing (slam test) and pedal testing
- Fatigue tests under climatic conditions (suitable for testing any type of plastic component)
- Possibility to build specific benches to adapt them to any type of part or test
- Instrumentation with strain gauges
