Indstruial Research Laboratory
Facilities and tools
All the manufacturing, assembly, testing and integration activities of equipments/subsystems (as well as the production of customised parts) are performed in DTM laboratory (manufacturing through qualified outsourcers when required). It is available both a "gray" testing/integration area as well as an ISO5 clean room certified according to ISO 14644. The workshop is provided by an autoclave, milling machine, a lathe and several refining tools. Here is a list of the most important facilities and tools available at DTM integration plant:
- Laboratory with clean area (ISO14644 certified, ISO6 level - class 1000 according to FED STD 209E) for integration and test activities
- Autoclave for composite manufacturing
- Testing equipments to perform quasi static qualification or acceptance tests on aerospace structures or other high performance components
- Support equipment to fill and test pressurized components at pressure upto 200 bar with ultra high purity gas (gas purity 6.0 - 99.9999%)
- Thermal vacuum chamber for testing of components having to be qualified in vacuum conditions (pressure upto 1x10-6 mbar) and at different temperature levels (-80°C/+250°C - cryogenic tests are also possible)
- Helium leak detector to perform leak tests
- Instrumentation: data acquisition systems (DAQ National Instruments 16/18 bits), electronic equipments
- Sensors (position, force, pressure, humidity, strain-gages, accelerometers…)
- Autocollimator Edmund Optics for precision measurements on mechanical and optical components
- Particle counter Trotec (5 channel)
- Lathe, milling-machine and other tools for integration activities
- Shaker for dynamic vibration tests (c/o Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio)
All the critical apparatus and sensors are periodically maintained and checked by certified companies according to EN 9100 aerospace standard.
