Universities of technology teaching disciplines such as engineering, architecture and applied sciences need to equip their materials testing laboratories with machinery that must cover both fronts of activity.
- Teaching: that students can assimilate the theoretical concepts given in the subjects of materials science, metallurgy, welding, destructive testing, structures, strength of materials, etc.
These degrees train professionals to work mainly in industry and research laboratories. For this reason, their internships cannot be carried out with means whose technology is out of date with what is used in reality. They must learn to work with materials testing machines with performance and capabilities analogous to what they may encounter in their professional careers.
- Services to industry: one of the ways of improving teaching and amortising the resources invested in a university laboratory in the shortest possible time is by collaborating with private companies on specific projects. The university places its facilities and highly qualified personnel at the disposal of the private company. In return, the company allocates funds for the development of research, development and innovation projects in the area of materials testing.
In order for these projects to be carried out perfectly, the university must be equipped with material testing machines of the highest performance.
Why work with IBERTEST?
IBERTEST has more than 50 years of experience in collaboration with public and private universities, both Spanish and international. Therefore, we offer solutions that adapt perfectly to the particular requirements of the university:
- High performance: in order to serve the industry.
- Personal security of the user: students are not experienced professionals and maximum personal safety must be ensured at all times.
- Great versatility: materials testing equipment purchased for a project should be used when the project is completed, in order to maximise the university’s investment and budgetary return.
- Possibility to combine proprietary technologies in the materials testing solution: Part of the students’ training is invested in the testing machine itself. In many cases, the student actively participates in the definition of the test criteria, programming of the test stages, design of the measurement or data acquisition system, etc.
