Backed by over four decades of experience in advanced testing and custom machine development, our expert engineering and technical staff are equipped to assist throughout the broad range of areas from initial feasibility studies, test execution to detailed data analysis. We provide professional engineering services to generate critical insights from data to support informed decision-making and performance validation.
Analysis & Engineering Studies
We offer our consulting services across a range of project types and industries. Some examples of our consulting services include:
- Design studies. Consulting services offered to assist with ideating, assessing feasibility, risks, and budgeting for engineering testing and custom machine development projects. Involving us in the early phases ensures a pragmatic and well-grounded solution to your project.
- Engineering investigation services provided to help understand the root cause of persistent engineering problems. Our engineers apply advanced engineering skills to plan and perform field testing, measurements and hands-on data analysis experience to derive relevant insights and innovative solutions.
- Structural analysis services include modeling and performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA), covering structural stress, thermal responses, and structural dynamics characteristics. Special expertise in structural analysis and rotor dynamics for ultra-high-speed rotating components.
- Data analysis services focused on deriving insights from test data by considering factors such as test environment, instrumentations, and data processing techniques. Skilled engineers apply various DSP techniques to analyze data and extract useful information from noise.
Custom Machine Design & Development
Test Devices by SCHENCK has decades of experience designing and building custom designed machines for advanced engineering testing and for manufacturing applications. While we specialize in equipment for high-speed rotating parts, our capabilities extend to a wide range of engineered testing systems and in-production test machines. Each machine is tailored to specific technical requirements, helping customers evaluate component performance under controlled and repeatable conditions.
Examples of our custom equipment design and build capabilities include:
- Special purpose spin pits & advanced spin testing equipment
- High-speed, high-power drive systems
- Turnkey in-factory small rotor test machines (for grinding wheels, turbo wheels and small rotors)
- Test cells for combustion test rigs and small turbine test rigs
Rotor Balance Engineering
At Test Devices by SCHENCK, our experts bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to rotor balance engineering. We offer consulting services that help OEMs and their manufacturing partners develop and enhance rotor balancing strategies, optimizing product performance and production costs for maximum efficiency.
Our services include engineering studies, custom design and fabrication of rotor balance toolings, and development, testing, and validation of new balancing processes tailored to meet our clients’ needs. Using Advanced Unbalance Budgeting Simulation (AUBS) techniques, we analyze manufacturing methods and dimensional tolerance data to determine the most economical and effective path to achieve the required rotor balance during the product planning phase.
We emphasize the importance of addressing balance requirements early in the design process and integrating the balancing process as a core element of the overall manufacturing strategy. With our skilled team and cutting-edge SCHENCK balancing equipment, we help customers manufacture high-quality rotating parts in a cost-effective and efficient manner. Trust Test Devices by SCHENCK for superior rotor balance engineering solutions that drive success in your manufacturing processes.
