Special R & D and Prototyping

Design and Engineering

Voss application engineers are prepared to help solve your specific needs—from product inception, through manufacturing, to customer support. We can produce parts from your prints or we can do the design and development work for you. Voss also has complete project management capabilities or can work directly with a prime contractor. More importantly, Voss had the experience, expertise, and R & D capability to help meet your unique component design requirements.

 

Tooling, Prototyping and Testing

Being able to produce high quality components time after time is due primarily to Voss's total in-house design, tooling, prototyping, and testing capabilities.

Voss uses the latest in CAD,CNC machines and Wire EDM to design and produce any special tooling required. When product designs are finalized, prototypes are developed to exact specifications and then subjected to product and qualification testing.

Metalography material and Micro Hardness (KNOOP) testing.

Primary Usage:

Qualification and/or evaluation of prototype and production parts; metallographic material examination and material testing.

Test Stand Capabilities:

Temperatures to 1500° F; pneumatic pressures to 2500 psi

Test stand is computer controlled and continuously monitored permitting unattended round-the-clock testing.

Test stand is capable of simultaneous pressure and flexure (bending moment) cycling under room or elevated temperature conditions, while periodically checking joint integrity via leakage measurement.

Controlled environment pressure and
flexure cycling test stands.

Test and Evaluation Capabilities:

Hydraulic pressure testing to 10,000 psi; micro hardness testing; metallographic and macro material examination; stress rupture test (constant load/elevated temperature); fatigue testing (cyclic loading).
