RTE Sonic TC

Innovative material testing

The Sonic TC works with a completely new and revolutionary technology. The testing objects, like for example brake disks, are oscillated by a short mechanical impulse, the produced sound is recorded with a high performance microphone and evaluated by special software.

Concise design

The use of sound in testing materials reduces the application of other techniques with high energy consumption, like X-ray-systems or chemical testing methods. The product‘s structure can be adapted in many ways to fit a wide range of conditions. The design presents a smart and ecological testing technology in a self-confident, but professional manner.

"Ergonomics"

Human factors and ergonomics (HF&E) aka comfort design, functional design, and user-friendly systems, is a multidisciplinary field incorporating contributions from psychology, engineering, biomechanics, mechanobiology, industrial design, physiology and anthropometry. In essence it is the study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body and its cognitive abilities. The two terms "human factors" and "ergonomics" are essentially synonymous.
Human factors and ergonomics is concerned with the "fit" between the user, equipment and their environments. It takes account of the user's capabilities and limitations in seeking to ensure that tasks, functions, information and the environment suit each user.
