When
you have a problem with a product or industrial
process, you don't need data, you need
answers. The sooner a manufacturer knows why a
product is failing in the field, the sooner the
manufacturing process can be modified to reduce
warranty costs and increase customer satisfaction.
SixD offers these
testing services to make sure you get the right data
for the answers you need:
- Instrumentation – Applying
appropriate sensors to measure:
- Strain – for failure
analysis or to calculate stresses
- Loads – static and dynamic
- Displacement – movement
measured in microns or feet, to understand the
kinematics involved
- Acceleration – easy to
measure and an important indicator of the
dynamic forces at work in the component or
system
- Pressure
- Flow rate
- Temperature
- Vibration
- Acoustics
- Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA)
– fully documents failure
mode causes and their effects
- Data acquisition –
identifying critical loadings, during
normal operations or during staged events
- Data validation – making sure
that the data corresponds to the physical realities
of the situation and the test objectives
- Data analysis – choosing an
appropriate analysis after the controlling failure
modes have been identified
- System dynamic analysis
- Stress analysis
- Finite Element Analysis
- Kinematics analysis
- Modal analysis
- Durability analysis
- Lab testing – at our Milford
facility
- On-site field testing –
at your lab or plant, or wherever your product is
used or has been installed
- Unattended field testing
–
our engineers or technicians instrument your
product, set up the test, then download data at predetermined
intervals
