LABORTECH s.r.o. proudly presents its new electromechanical testing device designed for testing vehicle axle jacks. This robust system is engineered for demanding off-axis load simulations up to 100 kN, offering unique technological solutions in the field of durability and reliability testing of automotive components.

The device enables load simulation in the Z direction through a sophisticated system operating in force and position control modes. Movements in the X and Y directions are powered by high-performance AC servomotors, precisely simulating real-world conditions. Accurate off-axis load measurements are achieved using three load cells positioned at 120° intervals, calibrated according to ČSN EN ISO 7500-1. The system also features a controlled drive shaft with torque measurement capabilities, enabling precise simulation of axle jack operation during tests.

Safety is ensured by a protective enclosure compliant with directives 2006/42/EC and EN ISO 14120:2017, guaranteeing maximum operational safety. Advanced system control is facilitated via a PC with a TOUCH LCD monitor and intuitive BRANOTest software, providing users with precise management and configuration of tests.

This testing system is particularly suited for simulating various load conditions, such as testing jacks for different types of vehicles, including SUVs, electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrids. It enables load curve simulations for different vehicle weight conditions, such as empty, partially loaded, or fully loaded states. The system has been successfully deployed for axle jack testing for premium automotive brands, including BMW, VW, ŠKODA, AUDI, and more.

The LabTest 6.100.9 AXLE – J testing device combines precision, robustness, and safety, making it an ideal choice for companies seeking cutting-edge technology to ensure the longevity and reliability of automotive components.

We are introducing a new addition to LABORTECH’s H.7 series of testing machines, designed not only for the energy industry. This model combines a robust welded construction and a hydraulic load system with a capacity of up to 750 kN, enabling it to handle even the most demanding applications. In addition to its high performance, this machine is equipped with top-tier safety features that ensure operator protection and a long machine lifespan.

 

Safety at the Highest Level

At LABORTECH, we ensure that every machine meets strict safety standards, and the H.7 model is designed with maximum emphasis on operator safety and the surrounding work environment. The machine is equipped with a safety gate, providing reliable protection against unintended access to the work area during testing. This minimizes the risk of injury, allowing operators to work safely even with high loads.

Another key safety feature is the protective cover, which not only shields the operator but also protects the machine’s sensitive parts from damage. The cover is designed to allow access to the test area while providing sufficient protection from unwanted influences and hazards during load testing.

 

Modular Self-Supporting System and Safe Control

The machine is designed as a modular, self-supporting system that can be adapted to specific needs and expanded with additional safety features or testing space based on customer requirements. Testing and evaluation can also be safely managed using the Test and Motion software, which allows precise and detailed control of each test, ensuring a safe and efficient testing process.

LABORTECH TEAM

The Combined Robotic Workstation X-RUNNER TANDI by LABORTECH represents a cutting-edge solution for automating testing processes, integrating advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure maximum efficiency and measurement accuracy. The workstation is equipped with the LabTest 6.250 E.3 testing machine, designed for tensile testing. This machine features a dual VIDEOEXTENSOMETER for contraction measurement and the LME-50 contactless measuring unit for precise measurement of test specimen dimensions.

Another key component of the system is the new CHKTest 450 impact hammer with IMPACTTest software. This hammer is designed for impact testing, featuring the LABCool – AUTOMATIC cooling chamber, which ensures optimal conditions for testing impact specimens measuring 50x10x10 mm at temperatures down to -80°C. At the entry point for impact tests, the OPTOLab 55II system automatically selects good and bad specimens, enhancing the reliability of the entire testing process.

The entire X-RUNNER TANDI system is managed by RoboWorkPlace software, which ensures seamless integration and automation of all processes, including data transfer to the company network. This comprehensive system allows for fully automated operation with minimal human intervention, increasing productivity and eliminating the risk of human error. The Combined Robotic Workstation X-RUNNER TANDI  is, therefore, an ideal solution for modern testing laboratories that demand the highest standards of accuracy, reliability, and efficiency.

Cargo straps are critical components for ensuring the safe transportation of goods, whether by road, rail, or air. Their reliability and strength are essential to keep cargo securely in place, even under challenging conditions. This is why the testing of fastening straps is so important, and LABORTECH is a leader in this field thanks to its LABTEST series of testing machines, which can be used to test straps and fastening devices according to the following standards: EN 12195-2, FMCSA 49 CFR 393.102 (USA) , DIN 60060, AS/NZS 4380:2001 (Australian Standard) or CSA D270-16 (Canadian Standard).

LABTEST Testing Machines: Guarantee of Quality and Safety

LABTEST testing machines from LABORTECH are designed to deliver precise and reliable results when testing cargo straps. These machines can perform various types of tests that simulate the real conditions to which the straps are subjected during transportation.

Tensile Tests: Tensile tests measure the maximum strength of the straps and verify if they can withstand the load specified by the manufacturer.

Fatigue Tests: These tests simulate repeated use of the straps, helping to identify their long-term durability and lifespan.

Dynamic Tests: By simulating sudden impacts and vibrations that may occur during transportation, these tests assess how the straps behave in extreme situations.

Safety First

In the field of cargo transportation, there is no room for compromise when it comes to safety. Cargo straps must not only meet strict standards and regulations but also endure demanding conditions in practice. LABORTECH recognizes that safety comes first, which is why its LABTEST machines provide thorough and reliable testing.

Every testing process is designed to identify even the slightest weaknesses in the straps, allowing for early detection and correction before they reach the market. In this way, LABORTECH ensures that the cargo straps used in transportation are safe, reliable, and capable of protecting the cargo under any circumstances.

A comprehensive numerical and experimental analysis of mechanical non-metallic (MNC) joints of wooden structures was performed at the Department of Structures in the Experimental Center of the Faculty of Civil Engineering VŠB-TU Ostrava . The tested joints were made of structural timber, glued laminated timber and glued laminated timber.

Experimental testing took place on top-of-the-line testing machines from LABORTECH. The measured results were processed and evaluated using the Test&Motion software from the same manufacturer. These experimental data were subsequently compared with a numerical model created in the SCIA Engineer program and with analytical calculations performed according to valid standards.

Accurate and reliable tests on testing machines from the LABORTECH company are a key element in the experimental testing of not only wooden materials, but also other building elements. This analysis confirms the importance of advanced experimental and numerical methods for the optimization and safe design of timber structures.
