Testing of components and assemblies in aircraft | The largest and most powerful ICT in Austria | EMC Laboratory
Testing of components and assemblies in aircraft
We connect research and industry. We support our customers in the development and improvement of safety and availability of their products. Our competence lies in the operation of a component testing laboratory as well as an EMC laboratory.
We offer the conception, execution and evaluation of complex mechanical and electronic tests on components and assemblies.
Goals
As part of the TÜV AUSTRIA Group and the TU Wien (Vienna, Austria), we meet the highest standards of safety and innovation to the same extent. Our tests and analyses make state-of-the-art technologies safe and competitive for the market. We guarantee this as an independent testing laboratory accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17025.

Industrial computed tomography: Areas of application
With the help of industrial computed tomography (CT), X-rays can be used not only to display external geometries in three dimensions, but also all internal structures and defects of objects.
It is also possible to track and analyse the damage behaviour of components by means of a testing machine through tension/compression in real time - this is also possible in a temperature interval. This procedure is called „in-situ CT“ (or 4D CT).
Destructive testing and in-situ CT
– Tracking crack initiation and propagation
– Tensile/compression tests with defined temperature
Non-destructive testing
– Identification and colour representation of pores,
cracks, blowholes, and inclusions
– Location, overall proportion, and manifestations of
inhomogeneities
Weld seam inspection
– Assessment of welds regarding welding defects such
as pores, binding defects, inclusions, etc.
Damage analysis
– Determination of the actual state as a 3D model
– Detection of defects
– Representation of damage areas
Assembly control
– Control of installed components
Coordinate measuring technology
– Measurement and representation in 2D and 3D
Segmentation of multi-material constructions
– Separation of different materials
Nominal/Actual comparison
– Determine the differences to technical
drawings
3D wall thickness measurement
– Analysis and colour-coded representation
Reverse engineering
– Conversion of a CT scan into a CAD model
Manufacturing geometry correction
– Corrections of tools or moulds
– Mesh compensation to eliminate deviations of
the actual geometry of additively manufactured
components
Simulation
– Component digitisation for FEM analyses

Results
We carry out the tests according to your specifications on the components. We carry out all measurements, evaluate and document the results and combine them into reliable statements.
Our tests make your development cycles faster, they follow the simultaneous engineering approach and bring your simulation and measured values in line.
Benefits for you
- Experience and competence in science, research and application for decades
- Flexible and efficient laboratory infrastructure with own workshops and measuring technology
- Carrying out dynamic component tests, multi-axis fatigue testing
- Material characterization and damage analysis
- Data for FEM, development support, simulation of extreme situations, load simulation over the entire service life
- Carrying out EMC measurements
- Approval of components/assemblies according to standards (mechanical+EMC)
