PRODUCT DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCT TESTING, PRODUCT FAILURE TESTINGwith an extensive track record of successful industrial products:PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT:Successful product development requires a disciplined approach to achieving innovative, technically sound, market-viable products on schedule and within budget. RTS developments include: Polymeric chains and sprockets for wastewater equipment, industrial planetary gear reducers, elastomeric flexible element couplings, polymeric bearings, airline baggage handling equipment, railroad wheel lubricant delivery system. SPECIAL EQUIPMENT AND TEST DESIGN:RTS can design and build special testers to measure operating parameters during simulated, but controlled, service conditions. Testers built to date include: Bearing testers for the Navy, motorcycle transmission testers, gear box testers, elevator lift capacity, helical gear reducers, carbon brush performance, medicine bottle closure durability, railroad tie fastener life, hand tool quality and others designed specifically for in-plant QA/QC use. PRODUCT QA/QC, RELIABILITY, AND FMEA:RTS has staff members with the technical training to devise statistically designed experiments (DOE) to optimize products and processes. Test procedures and inspection criteria to verify performance characteristics and "fitness for use" have been implemented on a wide range of industrial components and products. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) can be performed during product development to help identify critical areas and to assess the economic impact of product failure. MECHANICAL TESTING:Determination of strength, ductility and toughness for both metallic or plastic materials is done to ASTM, SAE or ISO standards. Test modes include tension, compression, flexural, torsional, impact, 3 or 4-point bending on standard samples or specialized materials. Equipment Capabilities include: 25 lb to 300,000 lb tension/compression testers, Drop Weight, and extensive sample preparation facilities. MATERIALS ANALYSIS SUPPORT:Metallic or plastic materials evaluation via macro and microscopic examination, quantitative phase identification, SEM, thermal cycling, and salt spray testing. Equipment Capabilities include: Optical emission spectroscopy, Infrared Spectroscopy, DSC, TGA, TMA, Viscosity, Zeiss Metallograph, Definitive Imaging Image Analysis, Rockwell and Brinell hardness, Diamond Pyramid and Knoop hardness, and Harshaw salt spray. |
