Seismic tests of non-structural elements such as low voltage panels and server cabinets are performed in compliance with national and international standards as accredited with 6-axis shaker table (MAST) with high accuracy and repeatability in our laboratory.
Academic studies and R&D projects up to a weight capacity of 10 tons are supported with our 2-axis shaker table (biaxial table), especially the tests of structural elements.
Moreover, tests are performed in our laboratory according to the criteria determined by the customer's special specifications.

R&D Tests
Academic Studies
Desired data in academic studies can be realized and reproducibility requirements can be met in a controlled environment with hydraulic shaker tables with high capacity and accuracy. Acceleration, displacement, strain etc. such measurements can be collected through the data acquisition system and solutions for technical needs can be offered with competent test personnel.
Tests Performed by Customer Request
R&D testing service is also provided for special conditions where technical specifications are requested from customers or for the studies that the customer wants to do in order to improve their products. The test flow, technical needs, desired outputs, test data profile, etc. are determined aligned with customer needs.
Sectors:
- Low Voltage Panels
- Switchgears/Control gears
- Energy substation systems (Neutral grounding resistors, transformer elements, generators etc.)
- Telecommunication & IT systems (server cabinets, network equipment etc.)
- Air conditioning systems
- Relays, protective equipment, circuit breakers
- Suspended ceilings and raised floors
- Building facade/cladding systems
- Structural elements (column, beam, frame systems, carcass systems, etc.)
