Lab services

When you turn to us as your reliable testing partner, our lab is the only stop you will need to make. We provide a complete lab package including additional services to support our wide range of tests.

Logistics

Our lab handles any necessary logistics related to test samples, even when third parties are involved.

Metallurgical assessments

In case of uncertainty of how used materials or samples were composed or used, we provide visual, microscopic or chemical assessments.

Prototype design & techniques

Based on many years of experience working with numerous providers, a wide range of products and projects, we help our customers design improved product prototypes and speed up installation with new techniques. We can benchmark materials from different sources and/or processes.

Advice on production processes

Stranding, wire drawing, extrusion and cold forming are production processes our lab knows very well. Thanks to our extensive experience with these processes, we know which criteria and parameters are required for an optimal production. We advise our customers on the best materials and cable compositions for their specific industries.

Participative research & joint development

Together with our customers, we tackle specific R&D challenges to look for the best wire composition. In a joint development effort, we set up and conduct the tests required to work out the optimal solution.

Complete type testing

We manage your comprehensive type testing projects for new designs end-to-end, including specialised tests that need to be performed in collaboration with external parties.

In-house workshop

In our in-house workshop we can flexibly and swiftly adjust samples and material requirements to avoid any delays in the test process.

Incident analysis

Whether a cable or fitting breaks for any reason, older parts need to be assessed or a production deficiency needs to be looked at, our lab can perform a full-scale incident analysis, comparing results with millions of data records. Our service includes detailed measurements (tensile strength, resistance,…), chemical analysis as well as high-tech visual inspection.

Training

Out highly-skilled engineering staff provides conductor and fitting installation and assessment trainings and demonstrations either on site or in our lab environment.
