トレルボルグ社が自動TRテスターを導入し、研究所をアップグレード
When you are manufacturing high-performance seals for aerospace or deep-sea equipment, a single cracked ring can stop a multi-million dollar asset cold. In these sectors, there is absolutely zero margin for error.
That is why we are incredibly proud to partner with トレルボルグシーリングソリューションズ, an established leader in high-performance polymer engineering. We knew they required absolute certainty, especially when verifying how their rubber formulations perform in extreme sub-zero environments.
The Bottleneck: Overcoming Supplier Inertia
Keeping aging laboratory machinery on life support is a quiet operational risk.
Trelleborg's previous testing equipment was beginning to show its age, leading to frustrating bottlenecks, inconsistent test data, and major testing delays. They needed a replacement quickly, but they ran into a wall with traditional, slower-moving suppliers who operated with an unresponsive, transactional attitude.
We wanted to demonstrate that we operate on a completely different level. Instead of slow communication, we responded immediately to their inquiry to ensure the transition to their new machine was straightforward and efficient:
- Prompt, Technical Replies: We fired back answers to their technical, software, and shipping questions almost immediately. In our opinion, being highly responsive is the best way to eliminate the friction of spending a chunk of hard-earned cash on heavy machinery.
- A Promise of Long-Term Support: We stood right behind them, working closely to make sure their team felt supported for the long haul.
The Solution: Performance Without Legacy Premiums
Once we resolved the support questions, we pointed them to our 自動TRテスター – ゴムの温度収縮と脆性を測定する脆性点試験装置. This machine serves as a highly dependable workhorse, built to show exactly how rubber behaves when things get incredibly cold, and every single test is satisfyingly spot on.
- Two Tests in One Sleek Frame: A smart, space-saving unit that handles both Temperature Retraction (TR) and Brittleness Point tests without skipping a beat.
- Wide Temperature Control and Precision: It dips down to a freezing -120°C (using liquid nitrogen) or -70°C (with a cooling unit), staying steady within a microscopic 0.1°C of where it needs to be.
- 高容量テスト: It tests 6 samples at the same time for TR tests (reading retraction with a fine 0.02 mm resolution) and up to 10 samples for the Brittleness test.
- Connected for Modern Data Management: It saves data automatically to a standard SQL database and uses Datagest software to map out retraction curves.
- Strictly Certified: Fully compliant with ASTM (D1414, D1329, D2137, D746), ISO (974, 812, 2921), and FIAT guidelines.
We have always maintained that high-performance laboratory instrumentation should not require prohibitive capital expenditure. By choosing this setup, Trelleborg obtained all the high-end accuracy they needed without paying the inflated premiums often associated with legacy equipment brands.
The Outcome: Continuous Operation and High ROI
Today, our Automatic TR Tester is hard at work in Trelleborg’s laboratory, keeping their testing running smoothly without a single day of costly downtime.
Trelleborg secured a highly dependable testing machine, optimized their laboratory budget, and gained a partner who actually values their time. Ultimately, laboratory managers benefit from clean, modern systems that consistently deliver on their operational promises.
