Grasse Zur Composite Testing offers a wide range of testing fixtures for the mechanical parameter determination of fibre-reinforced plastics. The testing fixtures are used in universal testing machines (e.g. Zwick, MTS, Instron,...) according to the respective testing standard to perform quasi-static and cyclic tests. Through the operation of the DIN EN ISO 17025 accredited materials testing laboratory, Grasse Zur Composite Testing has the know-how in the use of testing fixtures to achieve the best test results with optimized ergonomics. As a member of DIN, Grasse Zur Composite Testing actively designs new standards and revises existing test procedures. In addition, individual test fixtures are developed on behalf of customers, such as the release agent test fixture in cooperation with BMW, with which special applications can be carried out.

Grasse Zur Composite Testing offers a range of interesting specialist seminars and further training opportunities on the subject of materials testing of fibre-reinforced plastics. The technical seminars take place in the direct vicinity of the accredited materials testing laboratory in Berlin and generally consist of a theoretical and a practical part, which also includes materials testing on universal testing machines. To ensure a high level of the seminars, the number of participants is limited to a maximum of twelve.

The innovative online process control GZ US-Plus® enables non-contact process monitoring for curing control on cross-linking plastics such as composites (glass fibre and carbon fibre reinforced plastics), free-flowing granulates, casting resins, BMC/SMC, adhesives (epoxy resins), etc. The mode of operation of the online process control is based on ultrasonic measurements. GZ US-Plus® allows statements to be made about differences in curing properties and flow behaviour compared to reference values or other batches, as well as about deviations in production parameters. By analyzing the measurement data, the optimum process parameters can be determined. In this way, curing times can be minimized, rejects avoided and the quality of the production process documented.
