Tactile measurement is used to determine workpiece geometries, shape tolerances and surface finishes. With our mobile measuring system, we can perform tactile measurements quickly and independent of location – even at your company’s site.

With the help of the laser scanning process, we can not only measure components precisely, but also prepare the read-out data as an STL file for further processing in CAD.

At SIMON Analytics, we perform various in-house calibrations on our test equipment at our in-house dial gauge test stand and a high-precision length measuring device. Among other things, dial gauges, filling levers, thread plug gauges or test rings are tested here. Calipers, micrometers and similar products are manually checked by us with reference testing equipment.

We not only test components for durability, but also offer various component analyses. For example, we use our high-performance microscope to check for cracks in the material, or can also perform acoustic testing or vibration analyses.

Our assembly and control department is flexible and versatile. We not only perform internal work for our companies BETEK, SITEK and SIMON Sinterlutions or our Profit Center and SIMON Tooling, but also for our customers.

In order to ensure the complete traceability of the calibrated test equipment, we apply unique test equipment numbers with our marking laser.

The coulometric method is technically a reverse electroplating process. The electrochemical analysis method can be used to determine the layer thickness of many metallic layers on any base material. Especially for multilayer systems, the coulometric method is an alternative to the X-ray fluorescence method.

To test the resistance of components to environmental influences, we can simulate various climatic situations. Temperatures from -70°C - 180°C at different humidities can be simulated for the tests.

In the X-ray fluorescence method, an X-ray beam ionizes the atoms of a measurement sample. The various layers (e.g. chromium/nickel/copper layer sequence) are excited by the X-ray beam. The individual layer thicknesses can be determined via the intensity of the back radiation.

We use salt spray tests to simulate various external factors that may affect the corrosion behavior and resistance of our products in service. We can thus detect and eliminate weak points in organic coatings or inorganic coatings. At SIMON Analytics, we use two different methods:

DIN EN ISO 9227 NSS (Neutral Salt Spray Test)
DIN EN ISO 9227 CASS (Copper Accelerated Salt Spray Test)

With the Condensation Water Constant Climate test, we expose our products to a full-surface, continuous condensation load in order to test, for example, painted or coated samples with regard to their behavior in the condensation water climate.
