The German Aerospace Center conducts research in the fields of aviation, transportation, space and energy. As a leading institution in this field, the Institute of Composite Structures has been working for many years on more efficient manufacturing processes for CFRP structures as well as on improved analysis and design methods. In future, a ZwickRoell testing machine will be used for fatigue tests on CFRP-reinforced composites.

The advantages of automated quality control are accurate, reliable and reproducible test results. In addition, qualified laboratory personnel are freed up from routine tasks and are available for more complex tasks. A high sample throughput also leads to a reduction in testing costs. With RoboTest P and RoboTest R, Zwick offers two highly flexible solutions for automated quality control.

The 3D printing of lubrication- and maintenance-free bearings made from tribo-polymers enables a high degree of freedom in the design while at the same time ensuring the wear resistance of the components used. Thanks to extensive test series in its own test laboratory, Igus is able to predict the service life of the individually additively manufactured polymer bearing online. On this basis, customers can individually calculate their desired bearings online.
