Railway Technology - Environmental Simulation

As Phoenix Testlab has a great reputation to live up to, it pursues both innovation and quality for testing in the railway sector. The environmental testing area was doubled in size in 2004 and is now used to test entire units and systems. Clients from all over the world appreciate our approach and competence in the field of environmental simulation.

The extension of the environmental laboratory illustrates that at Phoenix Testlab, complete assemblies can be tested for vibration, temperature and sealing.
