We manage the entire process chain.
Premium AEROTEC takes care of all necessary steps to define and perform structure tests according to relevant standards and regulations. This includes test specimen preparation for panels, blanks or manufactured parts made from composite materials or metal. As a result of decades of testing in the aerospace industry, we are familiar with live-testing processes for both engineering and manufacturing.
We offer a wide range of testing capabilities.
Our lab offers ideal opportunities for fatigue testing, with servo hydraulic test machines covering the entire range from 10 kN up to 1,600 kN, the latter being ideal for testing thicker laminates (>12 mm) and small panels. In addition, we have performed hundreds of structure tests on our 400 m2 wide test field using the pyramid approach that encompasses element, detail, sub-component and component tests. Thermal, optical and wet chemical standard tests complete our portfolio for load-carrying structures. As a consequence, Premium AEROTEC is first choice for:
- non-standard structure tests
- standard composite tests
- quality examinations for parts including extensive fatigue testing
