Pontlab is a laboratory for analysis, tests and measurements on materials and components that can deliver a full range of tools and services Skills for enterprises operating in different sectors (chemical, mechanical, textile and tannery, pharmaceutical, biological, etc) with a particularly with respect to manufacturing and services in order to contribute to their development and qualification.
Pontlab is a joint venture public / private partnership whose partners are: City of Pontedera (which holds around 51% of investments), Aequalis Ltd., which is responsible for the operational management of the laboratories (which holds around 48% of investments ) and Pont-Tech (which holds about 1% of investments)
It relies on the deep knowledge of its operators and Partnerships with numerous centers of Planning, Research and Development and Prestigious University to meet the various requirements in many areas and ambiti.rtecipazioni).
Pontlab is characterized as true SERVICES RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE face not only the mere execution of the test, but also to the understanding and resolution of problems of the customer.
Pontlab has a laboratory test and measurement, active in the automotive, motorcycles, power, rail, marine and aviation.
It also has specific expertise and long experience in the fields of mechanical design, prototyping, metrology and quality certification.
PONTLAB – ANALYSIS LABORATORY, TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS ON MATERIALS
PontLab features of modern analysis for analysis, characterization chemical / physical and materials research. The presence of specific expertise in different sectors allows the study of metals and alloys, plastics, textiles, paints, fuels, solvents, paper, cements, compounds for the pharmaceutical industry.
3D MEASURES AND PROTOTYPING
Pontlab is able to provide services of measurement and dimensional relief in its own seat or directly at the customer. The high precision of the instruments used, together with the environmental control of the measuring room air-conditioned, allow us to achieve high quality standards.
MECHANICAL AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Pontlab is capable of subjecting specimens, samples, and finished products in mechanical testing and functional, in order to verify their suitability for the intended use. Besides the availability of equipment for testing unified Pontlab is able to build equipment and run tests on specific customer needs.
Thanks to the expertise and its equipment, Pontlab is able to carry out tensile, compression, bending, fatigue, friction both standard specimens that on components or finished products. The testable materials ranging from metals, plastics and rubbers, to the fabrics and composite materials.
ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS
Pontlab using tools and equipment that allow to evaluate the degradation of a material and / or component under exposure to particular conditions of environmental degradation. The accelerated aging tests recreate the environmental conditions to determine their resistance to aging. Through appropriate tools and machineries Pontlab is able to subject the components to particular environmental conditions allowing to assess the effect desired exposure. We can test components or materials providing valuable information both in the phase of product development, for both the Benchmarking, both for the production test.
SETTING INSTRUMENTS
Each operations center in this area should be aware of and implement other measures to ensure accuracy and compliance with the regulations. Therefore it is important to turn, for the calibration of its instruments, a company can ensure maximum reliability as Pontlab, that has been working in this field as a valuable partner for companies needing calibrations or calibration.
NDT
Pontlab is able to examine mergers, welding, molded and machined in different materials (steels, aluminum alloys and magnesium, brass and bronze, titanium, plastic and composite materials) in order to detect indications of possible defects which may prejudice l ‘use of the particular. The NDT are performed by qualified personnel from ITANDTB (Committee for the National Aerospace NDT) according to EN 4179 / NAS 410 and dedicated systems.
