industriesTEC Eurolab offers its services to all companies which use materials in their manufacturing cycle: from the most traditional to the most innovative. The industry most sensitive to these issues are those that feature products with a high technological content and/or that involve the use of materials and processes submitted to extreme conditions of use.These are the cases where the improvement of the final product’s quality, and therefore of its competitiveness, is most likely to depend on improving the performance of its materials or of the processes they are worked with, which is where TEC Eurolab can especially provide strategic input.

Main materials testedMetal alloys, polymers, composite materials, carbon fibre, paints, lining materials.

industrialcomputed tomographyIndustrial Computed Tomography is an advanced method of non-destructive testing and inspection, can be applied in various phases of production process, especially when there’s the need to control a component or a piece either a fi nal product without interfering whit it in any way.

Therefore, it’s applicable to inspection and control of pieces and object of different kind of manufacturing and origin we can start from mechanical elements, or electronic boards, then we can also talk about, artwork or biomedical pieces, either castings or composite materials.

SIDEIUS is a spin-off from TEC Eurolab that was founded as an industrial tomography centre, and is progressively affi rming itself on the market as a technological hub capable of offering a wide range of integrated engineering services designed to assist customer companies in all-round improvements of products and processes. This new industrial reality offers itself as a technological partner which can accompany client companies in the various phases of new products industrialisation, providing services including Industrial Tomography, Reverse Engineering, Tensional Analysis, FEM Analysis (Finite Element Method), Failure Analysis, Product Optimisation and Metal Replacement.

10

It’s also an extraordinary tool for reverse engineering as well as for dimensional measurements of internal particular, and geometries, which would be impossible to determine with any other method without sectioning the piece.

The tomography survey integrates very well with advanced services, such as failure analysis thereby allowing engineers to get a picture of the whole problem before applying destructive test on samples.

non destructive testingNon-destructive tests (NDT) are used whenever there is need to test a component without minimally interfering with it or damaging it. They are used to test finished or unused products, to avoid submitting defective components or materials to further use. They can also be used in production-line checks, for example at the end of production processes that risk damaging materials. NDT checks can be applied – using different technologies – to materials that are metallic, non-metallic or composite.

TEC Eurolab’s Non-destructive Testing department is manned by technicians who have qualified at II° and III° Levels, according to UNI EN ISO 9712 - ASNT SNT TC 1A - NAS 410 - EN 4179 - ANSF 02/2012 Guidelines.Our technicians have access to latest-generation tools suitable for testing under various conditions, whether on the field or in laboratories

dimensional inspectionThe correctness and conformity of a component compared to its design and project, is one of the first and most vital factors in its optimal functioning and is a key strategic parameter in any process monitoring.Thanks to its long-running multi-sector experience, the TEC Eurolab dimensional department can adapt to customer’s specific requirements by collaborating on the various phases of a component’s life cycle. Operations can range from traditional dimensional checks to 3D component-scanning (both optical and tomographic), from first-product tests to moulding controls, from CAD comparisons to reverse engineering, from design and implementation of measurement plan to drafting of dimensional inspection procedures, statistical process analysis and statistical monitoring of measurement systems.14

training courses

Courses on Non-destructive Testing and weldingThe training options offered by TEC Eurolab include courses on various Non-destructive Testing methods and various welding and soldering technologies. The courses are organised in modular structures, i.e. offering days divided into ‘modules’ that focus on the specific aspects of different NDT methods. This modular conformation means that those following the courses do not have to be absent from their companies for long periods, thus reducing the impact of their training commitments on their companies’ productivity.

Customized training coursesThe customized training courses are learning process which are structured directly in collaboration with customers according to their requirements relating to specific materials, tests and processes. Courses with customized structures may take place either directly at the customer company’s plant or at the TEC Eurolab laboratories. Customized training processes can be planned for subjects including Non-destructive Testing, Welding Technology, Metallurgy, Paints and Corrosion, Dimensional Testing, Polymeric and Composite Materials and Laboratory Techniques.
