Protective Structure Testing
ServicesIn the realm of machinery safety, a Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) stands as a pivotal design, engineered to attach to or be part of a machine, mitigating the risk of operator injury in the event of a vehicle roll-over. Stringent standards govern the load-carrying characteristics of ROPS under static loading conditions, prescribing performance requirements for a representative specimen subjected to such loading.
Rear Impact Guard Testing
ServicesIn the realm of vehicular safety, Rear Impact Guards stand as a crucial mandate outlined by Transport Canada and the U.S. D.O.T. These guards play a pivotal role in safeguarding the driving public in the event of a collision at the rear of trailers, heavy trucks, or other large vehicles. The requirements for these guards are explicitly articulated in the Federal and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS).
Structural Durability & Fatigue Testing
ServicesIn the meticulous pursuit of product excellence, WESTEST pioneers Structural Durability and Fatigue Testing—an intricate process involving subjecting a test sample to the very loads it is expected to endure throughout its service life. Positioned early in the product development journey, this testing paradigm unveils potential design deficiencies before a product goes into full-scale production. It also serves as a validation benchmark for component selection and overall product design.
Terramechanics Testing
ServicesIn the realm of precision scrutiny, WESTEST specializes in Terramechanics Testing—an exploration into the nuanced interaction between soil and soil-engaging tools within a controlled environment. This methodical approach serves as a cornerstone for investigating a myriad of factors, including:
Tilt & Rollover Stability Testing
ServicesIn the realm of vehicular and machinery integrity, Tilt & Rollover Stability Testing serves as the bedrock, ensuring that the center of gravity of a fully assembled vehicle or machinery aligns with the manufacturer’s stipulated limits. This meticulous process is imperative for adherence to Transport Canada regulations and other pertinent standards governing stability.
Vibration Testing
ServicesExploring the realm of vibrational scrutiny, WESTEST delves into the intricacies of subjecting a product, termed as the test sample, to an excitation of vibrational forces while closely monitoring its response. Our arsenal of vibration testing tools includes the multi-axial simulation table (MAST) system, vertical and horizontal vibration tables, and the electrodynamic shaker table.
