LABORTECH once again confirms its position as a leader in testing technology by introducing the next models of the new generation of hydraulic power units – HAS NEO. These units are designed primarily for static and servo-hydraulic testing machines and offer a combination of modern design, high safety, efficient performance and exceptionally low noise. Development focused on intensive engineering work aimed at maximum modularity, easy operation and low operating costs, meeting the current requirements of modern laboratories and industrial environments.

The new exterior design is based on the EDICE 30 concept, giving the unit a compact, ergonomic and easily manageable character. HAS NEO is equipped with advanced SIMATIC NEED and SIMATIC HALT diagnostics, enabling continuous monitoring of operating conditions, evaluation of machine status and early detection of anomalies. This significantly reduces unplanned downtime and ensures high operational reliability even in demanding conditions.

A major advantage of this generation is expandability. HAS NEO can be equipped with additional cooling, control of hydraulic grips up to 450 bar, electronic pressure adjustment and other functions according to specific application requirements. The hydraulic circuit is designed with an emphasis on ecology – reduced oil consumption and lower energy demand contribute to overall operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Low noise levels are a remarkable benefit. Sound-insulated covers and optimized pump operation create a comfortable working environment and reduce operator fatigue. High-quality components and intelligent diagnostics simplify maintenance, extend service life and further reduce operating costs.

HAS NEO hydraulic power units are an ideal solution not only for new LABORTECH testing machines, but also for modernization of existing equipment. By combining ergonomics, high performance, ecological efficiency and quiet operation, they provide outstanding solutions for static material testing, testing presses and other applications where long-term reliability, efficiency and operator comfort are essential.

LABORTECH introduces the brand-new series of automatic hardness testers BRFest 29A-F, designed for highly efficient and precise hardness measurement using the Brinell or Vickers method. These intelligent systems push the boundaries of automated testing – from automatic surface preparation for indentation (spot milling) and loading up to 29,400 N, to fully automatic evaluation of results including database storage or automatic sample marking.

Thanks to their modular design, the BRFest 29A-F series offers exceptional versatility – it can operate as a stand-alone hardness tester, be integrated into a conveyor system (x-SLOB), or form part of a robotic workstation X-RUNNER, with the option of manual or automatic positioning of the tested specimen.

The BRFest 29A-F model is specifically developed for testing standard and geometrically complex parts (such as hubs and cartridges) in fully automatic mode, featuring a patented universal clamping system.

The result?
Maximum precision, operator comfort, outstanding stability, and testing speed – all combined in one device.

BRFest 29A-F – a new dimension of automated hardness testing.

We are proud to announce the successful installation of a LabTest testing machine at the prestigious Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj Royal Air Force Academy in Thailand, one of the most important educational and research institutions in the field of aviation and defense in the region.

Our customer at the academy expressed exceptional satisfaction with the high technical quality of our machine, which is equipped with a state-of-the-art extensometer and robust wedge self-locking mechanical grips. These components ensure maximum measurement accuracy and safety even under the most demanding conditions.

The installation process itself also received highly positive feedback, as it was carried out quickly, smoothly, and with great attention to detail. The customer emphasized not only the quality of the equipment but also the professional approach of our sales and service representation in Thailand. Their expertise, flexibility, and customer-oriented attitude are a guarantee that even thousands of kilometers away from our headquarters in the Czech Republic, we can deliver services at the highest possible level.

This project confirms once again that the LABORTECH brand is recognized worldwide as a symbol of quality, reliability, and innovation. We are proud that our technology contributes to educating and preparing future experts in aviation and defense at such a prestigious institution as the Royal Air Force Academy.

LABORTECH has successfully commissioned the state-of-the-art electromechanical testing machine CREEPTest 6.100.C5DL in a floor-standing version, designed for quasi-dynamic cyclic testing, long-term creep tests and fatigue tests such as LCF and TMF.

This robust four-column frame stands out for its high stiffness, durability and alignment accuracy, ensuring maximum reliability during long-term tests lasting up to 10,000 hours. The machine’s design fully complies with international standards such as EN ISO 204, ASTM E292, ASTM E139, ASTM E606, ISO 12106, ASTM E23608, ASTM E1012 and others.

The system is equipped with an integrated low-cycle actuator with a precise AC servodrive, operating backlash-free, with minimal noise and maintenance-free performance. It enables cyclic tests in tension–compression mode with load reversal through zero without deformation artifacts and offers the possibility to perform creep tests as well as combined creep + fatigue tests, including strain-controlled runs up to fracture. Thanks to the three-zone high-temperature furnace, testing can be carried out at temperatures up to 1200 °C, while the homogeneous temperature field ensures highly accurate results even during long-term tests.

The installation also includes a high-temperature axial extensometer for precise strain measurement according to ASTM E83 and ISO 9513, an integrated overload protection system, preparation for UPS backup, a cooling system, and the CEDEROD 100 alignment fixture for perfect coaxiality of specimens in compliance with ASTM E1012.

With its modular concept and intelligent control electronics featuring a high sampling rate, the CREEPTest 6.100.C5DL is the ideal solution for demanding long-term material testing in the fields of energy, metallurgy and advanced research. This project is yet another proof that LABORTECH delivers cutting-edge and tailor-made solutions even for the most challenging applications.

In the automotive industry, the reliability of every component plays a key role. Rear seatback locks must be secure yet easy to operate. For precise and repeatable testing of these mechanisms, the specialized LabTest 6.05.9 – SEAT LOCK machine was developed. This compact test system, featuring a rigid welded frame and a safety enclosure compliant with EN ISO 14120:2017, is designed to verify the release force of seatback locks after dynamic closure at a speed of 1.6 m/s. It supports testing of both left and right seat sides. The required release force for a compliant lock is 45 ±10 N. Simulated seatback mass is 17 kg on the right side and 7.5 kg on the left, with an 8 mm striker that can be adjusted in height by ±4 mm.

Locks are typically mounted using two M8 bolts tightened to 23 Nm, but automated clamping can also be considered. The ergonomic setup allows operation in a standing position, and the machine is designed with maximum safety in mind, including protection of the handle surface during the unlocking cycle. Test results are clearly indicated—either as a simple OK/NOK signal or with a precise measured force value.

LabTest 6.05.9 – SEAT LOCK is an ideal solution for development and quality control, providing reliable, fast, and safe validation of seatback lock performance.
