Monitoring Systems

At Phoenix Testlab,  the term "monitoring systems" embraces electrical, pneumatic and mechanical control and monitoring systems for test specimens.

Customer-specific applications are among our most frequently demanded tasks. In this area, Phoenix Testlab uses proven technologies and methods. Depending on the tasks, the systems are designed for vibration tests under temperature and climatic conditions, or for pure temperature-change tests.

Monitoring instruments are selected in close collaboration with our customers. Within very short times, testing of actuating devices for locking systems (window lifter components), electrical load-change tests for high-current consumers and many other tests may be implemented.
