Quality assurance.

The difference is in the details.

Our castors must pass numerous tests in order to meet the quality standards that our customers demand. Our internal test methods are based on internationally applicable standards such as DIN EN 12527-12532, IEC 60601, etc. Moreover, we regularly conduct in-depth and customer-specific tests.

The development and production of consistently high-quality and durable products relies to a large degree on the extensive expertise of our employees. Their long-standing experience is the foundation of our products’ excellent reputation.

 

Supported by modern development software whose functionality extends as far as machine-based process monitoring, a comprehensive development and production cycle has been established, which ensures the consistent quality of our products.

Our high in-house production capacity – ranging from stamping technology, chipping production, and various plastic injection moulding processes to modern assembly processes – is an essential part of our corporate philosophy. In combination with a highly skilled development team, we offer you a high degree of flexibility, e.g. for customer-specific and precision manufactured product solutions.

Man looks at a castor that has to cross a threshold several times with the help of a machine

Dynamic testing

Example: A hospital bed castor with a wheel diameter of 150 mm is subjected to a 150-kg load. At a speed of 1.1 m/s, it must withstand a distance of about 14,000 m while traversing a 3.75-mm-high threshold 1000 times.

 

Machine lets castor run the same route several times in an endurance test.

Endurance test

The castor is subjected to a test simulating the special continuous loads that occur in routine operation. In this way, reproducible trials can be used to achieve continuous improvement of the products. The fully automated procedure guarantees extremely precise results.

 

Man drops castor with the help of machine to check the quality

Drop test

This test simulates an abrupt application of force on the castor. Variable fall height can be used to test an extremely broad range of product categories.

A test of the series production can thereby guarantee consistent quality.
