Exchanging Fast-stirring and ISO 11451-5 knowledge in Japan
Last week, our consultants, Hanneke van Veen and Dimitrios Barakos, visited seven companies in Japan with our friends from Microwave Factory to help companies implement the closed-loop power control (fast stirring) reverb method as per the ISO11451-5 test standards.
This is our colleague Arjan Nederstigt standing inside a 4 x 4m door frame while holding one of the smallest door frames we have ever produced. Arjan: “Perhaps this offers you an impression of the variety of work in our workshop.”
Arjan has worked at Comtest Engineering for over twelve years and has witnessed many test chamber doors come and go. Arjan: “The largest we manufactured was a 10 x 10m double horizontal leaf door for an EMC chamber in 2021. The frame I’m standing in, in the photo, is slightly smaller. These large frames were challenging to create because we didn’t have welding tables large enough. However, in the new situation, as you can see in the photo, we can utilise four different welding tables to support and secure the corners of the frame.”
And what about the door you are holding in your hands? Arjan”.  “That is actually not a real door but a small hatch. These are less than 30 x 40cm and I think those are the smallest we produce and for us a lot easier to produce.”
If you are interested in working with Arjan and his team at our workshop in Zoeterwoude (NL), please message Bas de Groot.
