Finite Element Analysis has become an established planning and analysis tool for industrial users to achieve efficient development processes and a sustainable production. Often high-quality material data, which is needed as a mandatory input requirement, is missing. The PWFT GmbH starts here as an innovative service provider and offers application-oriented measurements and consulting services to close this gap. Beside the experimental data determination for instance of flow curves, the company offers upon request the complete modelling from a single source. A special focus lies on the inverse method for material data determination based on DIC measurements, which was developed at Institut für Werkzeug- und Fertigungstechnik at RFH Köln.
| PWFT awards a test mark for razor blades |
As an independent company, PWFT carries out regular quality controls and tests on multi-blade razor systems for several years. In addition to visual analyzes and geometrical measurements on statistically verified samples, regular cutting performance measurements are carried out on individual blades, documented and the results returned to the producers for continuous improvement. With the award of the PWFT seal of approval, the PWFT certifies the safety and performance of the razor blades through extensive testing and continuous monitoring. For example, the products of the ISANA (ROSSMANN) and OMBIA (ALDI SOUTH) product family go through ongoing controls and are regularly checked and monitored.
PWFT awards a test mark when the test method records the tested characteristics in a suitable manner and with verifiable reproducibility and the random sample tests do not exhibit any unsuitable deviations from the stipulated specifications of the tested characteristics. That also includes testing with the aid of technically recognized, carefully applied, reliable and reproducible methods.
Furthermore, our test mark award requires that the knowledge gained in the frame of the quality controls is included in the process of continuous improvement of the products and that it contributes to the qualitative improvement of the products. For the award of our test marks, the demands apply to the objectivity, validity and reliability of the test methods being used and the executed inspection and test procedure:
