Testing As manufacturer of cable and hose carrier systems we also support our customers in development and testing. If demanded by the customer, KABELTRAX will carry out tests on project specific test benches in accordance with customer's specification, even under climatic conditions and with original installation parts.

Customized test installations and test benches

Specimen Depending on requirements and purpose of use we can supply prototypes as SLS-parts, silicon casting or made from pre-series tools without delay.

Prototypes

Design Already in the project phase we account for a process optimized and tool compliant design, which minimizes the fault rate in series production and optimizes the production process. Our designers work with CATIA and Inventor, the design is safeguarded by Mold-Flow analyses and APIS-FMEA.

Process optimized design

Installation space examinations For our customers we can perform CAD installation space examinations already in the pre-development stage and present a proposal for an ideal cable and hose carrier system.

Installation space examinations

Models On request we can also install the concepts de- veloped by us into area models for the purpose of presentation and feasibility studies .
