Ultrafab Test Lab Additional Benefits
Non-Destructive Testing
With an aluminum conveyor roller system, the test station ensures that samples are safely and easily loaded and unloaded onto the test wall stage, which can accommodate samples up to 96” wide by 96” tall (2438 mm wide X 2438 mm tall).
Quicker Turnaround Time
The wall’s unique gasket and pneumatic clamping system eliminates the need for wooden test frames, commonly referred to as wooden “bucks” in most cases. This helps to facilitate a much quicker test turnaround time, giving us the ability to normally begin testing a product the same day as a pre-planned delivery.
Service Designed to Save You Money
In the long run, testing your products at this stage allows you to get the product to market faster, save money, and maximize your time.
