Experimental measurements onsite
We carry out experimental measurements tests directly at our customers on site. The following examinations can be carried out:
- Determination of wheel loads and supporting forces as well as center of gravity positions for the purpose of checking product features or for stability checks
- Determination of stresses, deformations, vibrations, loading conditions, temperature fields and similar technical parameters on machines and systems of all kinds by long and short-term measurements with subsequent evaluation according to functional or safety aspects
- Measurement of the geometry of cranes and other rail-guided machinery and equipment (for example wheel misalignment, endcarriage skew)
- Determination of running behavior (for example skew forces)
- Determination of deformation and stress conditions
- Determination of wheel load distribution
- Dynamic analyzes (for example lift off coefficients, natural frequencies)
- Measurement of the crane runway (static and dynamic)
- Measurement of operating time on supporting structures
- Monitoring of constructions and supporting structures
- Acceptance measurements
- Measurement of human vibrations / hand-arm-vibrations
- Weight determination of test weights or steel components by means of calibrated measurement standards up to 50,000 kg
- Determination of real bearing forces of bridge constructions during assembly, during operation or during regular inspections or repairs
- Assistance in adjusting statically overdetermined systems
- Internal stress measurements on components directly at the manufacturer
Measurements for the verification of damage symptoms
- Measurement of geometry of cranes and other rail-guided machinery and equipment (such as wheel misalignment, endcarriage skews) and assessment of survey results according to VDI
- Determination of running behavior by measurement and observation (for example skewing forces)
- Determination of deformation and stress conditions
- Determination of wheel load distribution on handling machinery
- Determination of dynamic actions (for example lift off coefficients, non-stationary operations on machines)
- Measurement of crane runway (static and dynamic)
- Deformation measurements during operation
- Measurement of stress ranges and determination of service life based on a damage hypothesis on the measured parts, taking into account the measurement results classificated by the rain-flow method and the relevant Wöhler curve
- Definition of inspection intervals on the basis of measured stress ranges and thus calculated tear probabilities
Geometric measurements and coordinate measuring technology
- Analysis of geometry of steel supporting structures in order to verify fabrication and assembly according to the drawing
- Accompanying measurement of the geometry of steel supporting structures before, during and after reconstructions
- Static and dynamic measurement of crane runways
- Complex determination of geometries to analyze defective running characteristics of rail-bound equipment
