SATELLITE TESTED AT OUR LABORATORY

SATELLITE TESTED AT OUR LABORATORY

We are pleased to announce the achievement of a technical highly-prestigious result for our Test House in the vibration testing field: the first test performed on a entire satellite in launch configuration!

CENTROTECNICA hosted the D-Orbit team of technicians who managed the satellite set-up and check-up of its conditions after each test phase.

The tests along horizontal axis were performed on a customized RT slip table by CENTROTECNICA. A great result for our most popular slip table and a great advantage for space testing since it is an oil free table model.

The tutorial videos about the Instant Clamp maintenance

We have published a couple of videos to illustrate the maintenance activities for the Instant Clamp.

The Instant Clamp requires very little routine maintenance: a check and possibly a seals change once a year.

Fixture 3D-printed elements (additive manufacturing)

We designed an automotive fixture with an innovative technology: the connecting elements of the samples are made with a 3D printer.


The main advantage of this technology is that it faithfully replicates the shape and material of the real mechanical connection.

A fixture that provides precise and predictable responses to mechanical stresses is essential to obtain useful and reliable data during testing.

By applying this technology to an automotive fixture for the first time, CENTROTECNICA Srl's design department has taken an important step in the improvement of these fundamental accessories for vibration testing
