Interview with the new CEO of LABORTECH s. r. o.

Mr. Klimpar, what are your first impressions?

It is especially an honor for me to be able to work for such a highly developed technology company and participate in its further development. Thanks to the successful development of a unique technically biaxial machine, we are one of the three world leaders in the test machine market. I feel that mutual openness, cooperation and flexibility are important for the LABORTECH team. Everyone contributes to our development with their work and has a desire to constantly improve and find new solutions.

How does the current situation affect the stability of company?

We are a strong, healthy Czech family company, with a comprehensive portfolio of products, with our own development. We also have a wide range of services.

Thanks to the foresight of Mr. Dušek, owner and company director, we have invested to the promoting of our company, which brings us fruit in the form of orders from around the world and more than 20 industries.

I have to highlight and greatly appreciate the work of foreign partners, supported by our sales team. They successfully sell our products and they support our growth even in today’s difficult times.

 

Where do you see the future of LABORTECH?

Everywhere in the world. I believe, and our results suggest that even a small Czech company can conquer the world. I believe in our future, because “Every small detail matters” is, by the way, the new motto of our company and it is precisely the details in which we try to excel.

And word at the end?

Thank you and I wish all of us, our colleagues, partners, customers and their families, to overcome the difficulties of today together and in good health.

 

LABORTECH TEAM

As part of a project for the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Engineering of the Lodz University in Poland, we realized the production of the LabTest 6.600 E.3 machine. Thanks to the typology of the tested material and the conditions for testing, we have made several innovative modifications to this machine. One of the most significant modifications of the device, in addition to the raised frame, is the possibility of testing composite materials, namely fiberglass concrete reinforcements. For this reason, we created enlarged inserts for the grips with increased frictional force in the bearing surface, and therefore it was necessary to make more robust hydraulic grips with side pressure.

Since the clamping of fiberglass reinforcements is a very specific discipline, so thanks to many years of experience in this field with our engineers, we have developed a method combining 3 factors:

• Creation of special grips with inserts
• Automatically controlled pressure in the grips
• developing a specific clamping surface on the hydraulic grips

Modified hydraulic grips also offer the possibility of attaching other accessories to the grips, such as accessories for 3 and 4 point bending, without the need to disassemble them.

We modified our Charpy hammer

LabTest CHK 50J – D

We are expanding our portfolio of impact hammers!

• As part of the expansion of the portfolio of impact so-called Charpy hammers LabTest CHK.1 up to 50 J, we have modified our standard equipment and created a new machine version LabTest CHK 50 J – D, which is a digitized variation of its predecessors. The LabTest CHK 50 J – D device has a number of innovations suitable for simple and fast operation of the machine, suitable both for the non-stop production or for random laboratory testing:

 

• Easy replacement of the test pendulum hammer by loosening one screw from the axis of rotation.
• Carbon reinforcement and lighter version of testing arms.
• Sliding protective cover.
• Automatic pendulum locking system.
• Possibility of adjusting the three positions of the default angle.
• Automated centering system of the specimen.

The testing process is ensured by the SIMATIC PLC control system with a touch screen.

Charpy impact hammers of the CHK series. 1 in a table design with a nominal energy of up to 50 J are, thanks to their accuracy, ergonomics and originality, a world leader in the field of impact testing. All our Pendulum Impact Hammers are modularly designed so that, at the customer’s additional request, they can be easily and quickly expanded with a superstructure system, either in the form of instrumentation or full automation using the Blue Runner robotic system.Pendulum impact hammer can be supplemented directly with the entire TCR test center to comprehensively ensure the measurement of notched toughness, namely the optical inspection of the OPTOLab 55 II sample and the VRE notching device for the formation of U and V notches. In our product portfolio you will also find Charpy Impact Hammers with an integrated touch LCD monitor with a full-fledged PC, including IMPACTTest software.
