Inventive Solutions
Just like a chain, every component, assembly or product has its weakest link. It's usually buried in the product design, production process or in a change of material. Maybe it's an oversight before startup or the "design risk" your engineer keeps talking about. Regardless of where it is hiding, it is our job to help you find it.
TÜV SÜD America specializes in conceptualizing, designing and manufacturing custom test equipment. Our test systems replicate the exact, extreme environmental conditions affecting your products. Whether you need Dynamic, Climatic, or Package Testing, we can test the limits of your products, ensure their reliability and help you meet the requirements critical to success.
We have years of experience designing and manufacturing one-of-a-kind test systems to specific customer requirements. Whether you need custom environmental boxes, mechanical systems, electro-mechanical systems or durability systems, we can provide a test system to meet your needs. We can also combine various technologies such as movement with temperature extremes or fluid flow and vibration.

Concepts - Custom Integration - Turnkey Systems and Facilities
You are being confronted with ever increasing complex challenges as you strive to continuously improve designs and verify product performance and longevity. Manufacturers for the auto industry, aerospace, electronics, medical field and more expect fully validated components and sub-systems that have been through real world rigors and actual use simulation when testing. TÜV SUD America's Equipment & Solutions Technology team specializes in concept innovation, integrating systems and building solutions for all of your testing demands.
Custom Integration
If you are in need of specific, unique testing equipment or enhance the equipment you already own, to satisfy testing needs, TÜV SUD can help. Or, if you are in need of custom test hardware because the type of equipment you need does not commercially exist, we can assist with those needs as well.
Our commercial laboratory know-how and experience includes refurbishing existing pieces of equipment, manufacturing new custom equipment or upgrading the performance of specific equipment.
We will handle it all, from idea generation and solutions to final equipment acceptance testing including training and final warranty.
Electronic Monitoring, Computer Interface and PLC
We have a wide range of experience in electronic controls and monitoring systems applied to testing. We have designed integral systems for sensing, controlling, counting and reporting testing as a test progresses. Pressure, temperature, resistance, torque, flow, acceleration and movement have all been incorporated into our systems.
Pneumatic Cycling
Typically used for the application of a force to your product or for continuous cycling, we have incorporated pneumatic technology in a wide range of temperature environments from -40°C to +150°C.
Hydraulics
Similar to pneumatics, hydraulics is typically used for the application of a force or for continuous cycling. The major difference is that hydraulics is more commonly used in applications where a greater force is needed. We have even designed equipment where the practice of pneumatics controlling hydraulics is used.
Fluids Dynamics
Burst testers, hot flow, cold flow, precision flow and durability cycle: we have worked with these concepts and more. We have built systems using glycol, transmission fluid, water, oils and other chemicals for control of pressures, monitored flow, spray and agitation.
Turnkey Systems & Facilities
TÜV SÜD Equipment Soultions & Technogy Group can deliver all of your testing requirements, so that you do not need to tie-up valuable resources. This service can be provided for either a fixed location or in a unique, portable test facility. We work to thoroughly understand your needs and offer flexibility for growth.
Our extensive experience building and commissioning a wide array of test laboratories around the world will assist in the smooth facilitation of your project. After installation, we provide comprehensive training for your personnel and we can handle all aspects of testing operations and preventive maintenance for a truly turnkey and hassle free project.
