Aerospace

Safety and performance cannot be compromised in the aerospace industry.

Aircraft manufacturers, commercial and military helicopter manufacturers, and fasteners, landing gear, avionics, and global maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) suppliers rely on the Presto Stantest mechanical testing solutions to confirm the strength, durability, and reliability of materials, components, and entire assemblies.

Our testing systems support a wide spectrum of quality control requirements, including:

• Compression and tensile evaluation of springs
• Shear and tensile strength testing for fasteners such as bolts, nuts, and screws
• Torque measurement for rotary switches and cockpit controls, as well as lighting and in-flight entertainment systems
• Pull-off, insertion, and withdrawal testing for:
  • Crimped joints and terminals
  • Fasteners
• Peel testing for composite materials used in aircraft structures
• Tensile and material strength testing of:
  • Adhesive bonds
  • Aircraft textiles and carpeting
  • Cables, hoses, and tubing
  • Gaskets and O-rings
  • Parachute fabrics and cords
  • Seat belts
  • Welded connections
  • Wiring harnesses and looms
• Evaluation of manual handling and operational tasks, including:
  • Cargo and baggage handling
  • Operation of flight control systems

The testing functions allow manufacturers and MRO suppliers to meet the international standards and requirements, such as ASTM, BS, and DIN standards, and also internal standards of quality.

Presto Stantest has more than 42 years of experience in providing high-end force, material, and torque test equipment that is capable of providing accurate, consistent, and repeatable test results. We do this with our solutions, which help simplify complicated testing processes to enhance efficiency without compromising the rigorous aerospace quality criteria.

In addition to aerospace, our testing technologies are common in the wider transportation industry, such as the automotive and rail industries, where the safety performance and reliability of materials and components are no less important.
