Test equipment is used both in the manufacturing industry and
laboratories belonging to certification and research institutions.
The need to carry
out tests on products
arises from several
factors: Conformity to
clients’ specific needs;
conformity to national
and international product
regulations; rapid product
fault checks during the
process; reduction on
production costs; research
and development;
acquisition of data in order to improve continuously the quality
of the product and organisation; acquisition of test data in
order to draw test reports up.
This is why it often occurs that manufacturers make use of the
same suppliers that certification bodies or research institutes
do, and the other way around.
SIF MDC, Measuring Devices Control, relies on the broad
experience, which has been gained for the past 30 years,
especially related to the production of special equipment and
systems and their problem solving.
Traditional intervention is mainly addressed to the production
of equipment for the electric wire field, both for labs and
manufacture. SIF has great experience and has always delivered
high quality, perfectly performing and greatly reliable products.
What is the difference between lab equipment and test
systems?
The approach to the design of the equipment. It is mainly based
on a deep analysis on what a standard prescribes to have all
elements related to the test. The introduction of improvements
related to standards, such as operator-friendly ecology of the
equipment (power saving); to cut on tests and save time on
reducing time between a test and the other; repeatability and
dependability trough time, by means of high quality material;
low maintenance, which reduces costs and simplifies its use and
management; it is practical to calibrate and simple to certify.
High technology is aimed at assessing advantages and benefits;
improving system performance by introducing forms and test
programmable cycles to speed up and simplify the process and
avoid operator’s mistakes; acquiring data from the test, this
will be used to fill out reports or to document R&D; interfacing
with test systems trough software; offering online after sale
assistance, via the Internet.
