Testing and measurement services
Leak testing
Quality without compromiseTightness determines function, safety, and efficiency. In our technology center, we test welded components using state-of-the-art methods – from overpressure, burst, or bubble tests up to 10 bar, to vacuum tests down to -1 bar, as well as precise pressure-drop tests and leak measurements with 0.001 mbar resolution. This ensures that your components meet the highest requirements – reliably, traceably, and ready for series production.
Optical part measurements
Precision in 3D by GOM
We are very proud of our ATOS GOM measurement system, which allows us to capture components and their deformation with high precision. Our trained personnel analyze each part before and after FSW, providing valuable insights into the thermomechanical effects that can occur during friction stir welding. Based on these analyses, we can optimize process parameters, detect potential distortions early, and derive appropriate corrective measures.
By default, we provide a detailed report with various views, and we customize references and measurement points according to the component’s requirements. This gives you comprehensive insights into your component behavior and enables informed process decisions. Despite GOM, we can perform in individual cases tactile measurements using our Hexagon measuring arm or, if needed, CMM measurements via external partners. This allows particularly precise geometric analyses and dimensional checks that go beyond the capabilities of optical systems.
Are you interested in determining the feasibility of a new concept using friction stir welding? Or do you need support in selecting the most suitable system for series production in your application?
