STEP Lab we are champions of growth!
Thank you to the German Institute of Quality for noticing and rewarding us!
STEP Lab grew by more than 40% from 2018 to 2021.
We went from a turnover of 1,061 million to 2,918 in the same year and from 7 to 15 employees.
And in the last year we have grown exponentially compared to previous years!
STEP Lab HUD030 | Dynamic characterization of anti-seismic and anti-vibration supports
This Thursday we present tests on products used in every sector from construction to heavy vehicle handling to computer servers and nuclear power plants.
We are talking about dampers, and safety equipment to absorb vibrations and prevent the structures where they are applied from deteriorating.
We test them with our HUD030 linear axis:
We are talking about dampers, and safety equipment to absorb vibrations and prevent the structures where they are applied from deteriorating.
We test them with our HUD030 linear axis:
Maximum frequency: 100 Hz
Maximum test load: 20 kN
Maximum test speed: 6 m/s
Maximum test load: 20 kN
Maximum test speed: 6 m/s
As products for the safety of people and structures are certified and tested thoroughly
And thanks to our structures you can sleep peacefully!
STEP Lab | 4-Poster – testing machine for full-vehicle testing
We have created a portable demo to be shown at upcoming trade fairs of a system for whole vehicle testing. The demo version consists of four highly dynamic electric linear actuators.
Maximum peak force: 1,8 kN
Maximum test speed: 2.0 m/s
Maximum test frequency: 250 Hz
The car test configuration always features high-dynamic electric linear actuators, with incredible performance in the market.
Maximum peak force: 80 kN
Maximum test speed: 8.0 m/s
Maximum test frequency: 250 Hz
Up to 8 actuators can be added to help simulate aerodynamic loads and steering rotation. Dedicated interface for handling multiple actuators, with in-phase or out-of-phase option. Tests with standard waves (sine, triangular and many others) or playback of imported files from field surveys available.
HUD020L for damper tester
Take a look at our HUD020L shock absorber tester
Videos of our Dal Soggio Race Part Division customers using our HUD020 actuator shock absorber testing system!
Their products are certified by our machines to have the best performance at enduro races and other sporting events.
KILLER PERFORMANCE! Our new highly dynamic electric machine with a wide speed range for static and dynamic testing.
A new feature on our website
We have something new for you!
Browse our website to find out, you can now see our products from all sides thanks to the new rotation function.
Machine for test shock absorber bellows
Start Monday by introducing you to a machine that is as incredibly special as it is significant.
It is used in the automotive industry to test shock absorber bellows, axle shaft covers, and gearboxes.
These kinds of polymer products are subjected to significant stresses but maintain a long life cycle without losing their mechanical seal.
That is why we have developed this biaxial system with two linear axles (UD02 and UD04) with a two-stage climatic cell that reaches -50°C with the addition of a water and pollutant atomizer.
Automotive standards
Today we certify springs for household equipment according to the following standards: ASTM A125, ASTM F1566, ASTM F1085, BS 1726-1/2/3, DIN 2192, JIS B2704.
These products were tested at a frequency of 3.6 Hz for 2000 N maximum load at a speed of 1.0 m/s.
These international standards specify terms and definitions commonly used in the metal spring industry. The terms of heat treatment and surface treatment related to springs are included.
The terms are grouped into the following seven categories:
· a) general characteristics of springs;
· b) application of springs in machinery and engineering;
· c) arrangement and nomenclature of springs;
· d) specification requirements;
· e) design and calculation;
· f) manufacture and processing;
· g) testing and inspection.
Walking simulation
Today we monitored the reaction of shoe sole foams in a dynamic test in force control in which running is simulated.
Using our highly dynamic ‘UDO2’ machine, we compared various foams to find the best one.
Team building
To say goodbye before the holidays, we take you with us to discover the Asiago plateau and learn about this place’s biodiversity, traditions, and incredible history.
Typical dishes and wine could not be missed, followed by a starry sky that we will hardly forget.
This concludes the first half of the year for STEP Lab, which wishes everyone happy holidays and goodbye in September with important news!
