Automotive Testing & Development Services
As a contract manufacturing company specializing in all stages of the design and manufacturing process, including testing, RCO Engineering offers a broad range of automotive testing and development services. With a focus on automotive seating that has also expanded to aerospace design and defense, we test products of all sizes and purposes. It’s safe to say that we can work with any industry standard or one that is specific to any customer.
Structural Testing
Our Lab is equipped to handle a wide variety of automotive testing and development services. Our Strength and Automotive
Structural Testing services - one of our turnkey validation services - include: Linear and Inverted Pendulum Impactors, 3 Position Head Restraint Static Strength, Head Restraint Dimensional Measurements, Multi-channel and Single Channel Strength Stations, Flammability Testing, Airbag Deployment, and High Speed Video and Analysis.
Flammability testing leverages flame-retardant components to determine whether the components burn slowly. Additionally it checks if they can self-extinguish when they’re no longer in contact with the fire. Thus it’s a critical type of testing that helps to improve the survival chances of passengers in an automobile, airplane, or other vehicles.
Automotive Durability Testing
We are capable of performing a wide variety of automotive tests. These include both mechanical and electrical durability testing featuring numerous controllers and temperature extremes. Our environmental and durability test lab offers: Component Life Cycling, In-Vehicle Cycling, Fatigue Durability, Salt Exposure, and the ability to cycle at temperature extremes.
Any type of durability testing helps assess the durability of the automotive product and/or also that of its individual components. It helps result in a product with steadfast durability and long lifespan.
Our automotive testing labs also include several robotic test cells, single and multi channel loading stations, industry-leading, sophisticated environmental chambers capable of whole vehicle age testing and component performance in severe temperatures and humidity conditions, and much more.
We currently have two fully functional labs operating in Plymouth; one that is situated inside a customer's building and the other located in our own building on Five Mile Road.
