Know-How

Specialist in customised control and test bench

As an expert in the design and manufacture of test benches, LF Technologies offers you innovative and customised solutions for your production systems. Since 1995, our teams of specialised engineers have developed unique skills and know-how that we put at your service to ensure a high quality service.

Our experienceAt your service

Customised control benches with high added value


Since 1995, LF Technologies has specialised in the development of customised control bench with a high level of control and traceability.

Each control bench is the result of meticulous and rigorous work by our teams of engineers who integrate, in the design of the equipment, the notions of customer requirements, product certifications, existing standards and the constraints of the test environments. From simple controllers to measure mechanical, electrical and hydraulic performance, to simulation benches and special machines, we have used our expertise to design complete, high value-added solutions for your production systems.

Our know-how integrates all the stages necessary for the development of our control benches and special machines, from the analysis of your specifications to the commissioning of our equipment on your premises.

Demanding, precise, rigorous and quality are the values shared by the LF Technologies teams, with the aim of satisfying you as best as possible by offering you optimal solutions in line with your various requirements.

The synergy of 3 areas of expertise


The diversity of our know-how and experience enables us to offer you innovative turnkey solutions in order to test, characterise or even manufacture products according to your specifications, adapting ourselves 100% to all your constraints and requirements.

LF Technologies' expertise is based on three areas of competence:

  • The hydraulic division, for all the tests carried out on sanitary and industrial fittings.
  • The mechanical division, to characterise the behaviour of products and/or test specimens
  • The special production machines division, for the creation of assembly and control benches.

Our hydraulic test benches test the hydraulic components of sanitary and industrial equipment, according to current test procedures or French and international standards. They can test any type of hydraulic equipment for mechanical strength, endurance, hydraulic performance and thermal regulation. These include pressure, temperature, flow, sealing, etc.

Our mechanical division consists of various control benches that evaluate the behaviour of a finished product or a standardised test piece under real operating conditions by applying mechanical stresses. We are able to offer machines covering a wide range of tests including tensile, compression, torsion, peel, fatigue and impact. Test parameters can be combined to characterise several aspects of your product on a single machine.

Our special machines are able to meet all your requirements. This equipment integrates various manufacturing, assembly and control functions. LF Technologies also produces complete production cells integrating several functional modules, be it assembly, cutting/machining, transfer/handling or control/driving modules.

Our many years of experience and the high technicality of our machines and test rigs are widely recognised, both by accreditation bodies and by our customers in various sectors such as sanitary and industrial fittings, aeronautics, railways, construction, energy, automotive, materials, medical and nuclear.

A high performance test rig adapted to your needs


With more than 20 years of experience in the field of hydraulic and mechanical control benches, LF Technologies provides highly technical solutions for industries wishing to test and analyse the performance, endurance and resistance of hydraulic and sanitary components, sanitary fittings, samples or products such as metals, plastics, composites, etc.

Each control bench is equipped with a Human Machine Interface (HMI) designed for fast and accurate analysis of your mechanical tests. The console is intuitive and easily configurable by users. A simple click is all it takes to start a test. The interface allows you to know in real time the status of your test. All measurements are automatically saved and can be exported to Excel, HTML, Word and PDF formats for easy reading and analysis.

Endurance test rig

 

At LF Technologies, user safety is essential. That is why this aspect is taken into account from the very beginning of the design of your equipment. The protective housings of the machines and test rigs are designed to resist impacts or fluid splashes, while ensuring maximum visibility of your product during the test. These covers are locked with tamper-proof latches. Our test stands are equipped with test product protection systems to ensure that the forces applied do not exceed a predetermined threshold.

Our test benches comply with current regulations and their operation is certified by an independent body of your choice (Apave, Dekra, etc.).

The reliability of our machines is due in particular to their solid design. Our design office designs equipment capable of testing your products repeatedly and over the long term without any technical failures. We design test benches entirely around your product and the tests you choose. It is this optimisation of the test/product pairing that ensures you get accurate and reproducible results. The quality of the tests requires total control of the movements, temperature regulation, pressure, etc. These precise controls are managed by high-frequency, high-fidelity servo-controls.
