Working from door to door, an impression

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.

Comtest delivers EMC testing expansion for TREO

Doubling a lab’s measuring capacity in a very short timeframe: another example of the demand for EMC testing chambers in Europe. In this case, we helped our friends at Treo – Labor für Umweltsimulation GmbH, an independent service provider for product and component testing in the Hamburg area in Germany.

Our services include maintenance and validated testing. We recommend that both are executed by authorized personnel only. Our expert teams can perform preventive maintenance on RF-shielded doors, mode-stirrer systems, and positioning equipment such as turntables. We also offer validation services to see if your EMC test chamber or RF-shielded room still functions within its intended limits and avoiding unexpected down-time or product recalls at the same time.

A shielded room can perform conducted emission and immunity EMC measurements, eliminating harmful external influences, leading to more accurate and consistent test results. Being a Faraday cage, a shielded room will not only improve test results but will also form an excellent aid in protecting information and essential hardware. Comtest can assist governments, the military, financial institutions, and large corporations in protecting what matters most in critical situations. We offer the highest quality, sensitivity, and security before, during and after working with you.
