Dynamic Component Testing

Dynamic component testing is performed at the Dynamic Test Laboratory (DTL) that forms a part of VUZ Testing Laboratory No. 1462 accredited according to ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17025. We provide services in the field of testing of rail vehicles, road vehicle parts, infrastructure and other engineering areas.

We perform tests in accordance with technical specifications, directives and standards and based on particular requirements of our customers in the field of dynamic strength and durability.

Our customers rely on the highly qualified staff of the VUZ laboratory. Our laboratory is the right choice for orders in the field of both destructive and non-destructive testing. We are ready to meet individual requirements in the field of mechanical engineering.

We offer great variability of tests thanks to the modular construction of test benches.
