Component testing lab
Reliable validation for complex components and systems
At VDL ETS' Component Testing Lab, we test components under realistic and extreme conditions. From electric drivelines to cooling systems and battery packs - we validate performance, durability and safety to the highest standards.
Our approach: flexible, fast and accurate
Thanks to a modular test setup and advanced measurement and control technology, we can quickly switch between different test scenarios. We simulate thermal, mechanical and electrical loads to predict component behaviour in practice. Our test engineers work closely with development teams to design customised test programmes.
What we test:
- Electric power trains (E-motors, inverters, transmissions)
- Batteries and battery moduels
- Cooling and thermal management systems
- Charging components and power electronics
- Automotive parts
- High-tech components
- Aerospace parts
- Any part or (sub)system subjected to vibration,climate conditions, contamination, vacuum, pressure or other induced forces
Shaker testing
Vibration testing evaluates component durability and performance by simulating real-world dynamic loads and operating conditions.
Climate testing
Climate testing evaluates component performance and durability under controlled temperature, humidity and environmental conditions.
Chemical and corrosian testing
Our corrosion and chemical resistance testing provides valuable insight into material performance when exposed to corrosive and aggressive substances.
Pressure and burst testing
Pressure testing evaluates component integrity by assessing pressure limits, burst strength and overall structural performance.
Helium leak testing
Components are tested under vacuum using helium as a tracer gas to ensure they are completely leak-free under diverse conditions.
Strain gauges testing
Strain gauges provide a detailed picture of mechanical stress, translating physical deformation into precise electrical signals.
3D measurements
High-precision 3D measurements provide accurate geometry verification, dimensional analysis and detailed component inspection.
