At the end of June, the 7th annual running event for the whole family took place: Breda City Trail Opava 2022, where LABORTECH was one of the sponsors.

There was competition in all age categories, from small children to the main 10km course.

The race tracks led from OC BREDA and WEINSTEIN, through the grass area of the ABEL company, to the river Opava and then to the Silver Lake and the Palhanec district.

Prizes were presented to the junior competitors by Tomáš Navrátil (mayor of Opava) and Jaroslav Václavík (director of OC BREDA and WEINSTEIN).

The main race “BLACK DIAMOND ten” was won by Jana Coufalová and local Oldřich Kokošek, who flew the course in 34:40 (at a pace of 3.35min/km)

Thank you to everyone who participated. LABORTECH supports all athletes.

Choosing a future profession is not always  an easy thing to do, especially when you go to primary school and  do not know  much  about  choosing a profession. Young students have the  opportunity to orient themselves in the subject of choosing a profession, and if the opportunity arises, they go directly to visit some of the potentional employers. This  happened in March and the future graduates of the elementary school were welcomed to LABORTECH, where they inspected the production and familiarized themselves with the operation focused  on testing equipment.  It was an interesting novelty  for almost everyone and it  is quite possible that in  the coming years an interested visitor will knock  on  the door of the   company.

After a two-year break, our company LABORTECH s.r.o. with the support and participation of our German partner SSM Testronik GmbH, from 3 to 6 May 2022, it participated in the 34th STUTTGART CONTROL 2022 international trade fair.

The fair was attended by more than 600 exhibitors from around the world. The main focus of the fair copied the current development trends of most major industries and was presented mainly:

– ensuring quality control using artificial intelligence technologies,

– processes of optical inspection of production in high quality and resolution in 3D,

– innovations in the field of measuring and testing technologies for destructive and non-destructive testing of materials,

– use and application of I4.0 results in automation of testing and control processes.

Our company is actively involved in the development and research of new technologies, which is why this year we presented news from the range of testing machines and equipment:

We are happy to embark on the most ambitious projects with you, where we analyze all possible circumstances and choose from a number of options so that we can offer you the best possible solution. And sometimes the best solution is two or three test areas in one machine!

Thanks to our many years of experience in the field of mechanical testing, we are able to modify your electromechanical or hydraulic machine so that the test areas meet exactly your requirements and needs, in accordance with all applicable norms and standards…

The variant with several test spaces is becoming an increasingly popular modification for our customers, for example for tensile, compressive, torsional or bending tests on metal, concrete, plastic and other materials.

The variant of two or three test areas within one machine brings with it a number of advantages, for example:

• The acquisition investment costs are demonstrably reduced … instead of 2 machines, you only need the 1st so-called 2in1 or even 3in1.
  
• Cost reduction of operating costs and space dispositions of your test areas.
• Increase the accuracy of your testing, thanks to appropriately selected load cells, jigs and test definitions.

Dynamic servohydraulic testing machine LabTest 6.250H.5

has recently become part of the testing laboratory of the Ukrainian company INTERPIPE NTRP, a global manufacturer of steel pipes and railway wheels. This testing machine, equipped with accessories such as a temperature chamber or a contact strain gauge, was designed and conceived to provide testing and measurement of fracture toughness in CT metal specimens with a load of up to 250 kN and a maximum test frequency of 50 Hz in a dynamic test mode. The tests are performed according to ASTM E399 and ISO 12737 standards.

ASTM E399 and ISO 12737 describe the determination of fracture toughness of metallic materials by fatigue testing of so-called “pre-cracked” specimens 1.6 mm (0.063 in) or more. The force is applied either in tension or in three-point bending. Fracture toughness characterizes the resistance of a material to fracture in various temperature environments in the presence of a sharp crack under linear-elastic stress and strong tensile stress.

All our axial servohydraulic dynamic testing machines are driven by HAD series hydraulic units with a constant pressure of 210 or 280 bar. These hydraulic power units are fully compliant with the Industry 4.0 system, thanks to the remote connection and constant evaluation of the sensors, which ensures permanent condition monitoring and prediction of possible unit failures. A special anti-noise acoustic cover with an integrated cooling system guarantees noise reduction below 65 dB and cooling of the entire hydraulic unit.

HAD hydraulic units are able to intuitively regulate the pressure and amount of oil in the cylinder, thus reducing the oil consumption and energy consumption of the system.
