Rollix test benches
Based on our long-term experience complying with the high standards of the wind energy sector, we have developed our own test benches to ensure the optimum strength of our slewing rings, from the largest (>6,000 mm diameter) to the smallest (100 mm).
The Defontaine Group’s test benches are recognised by our customers and used for the Rollix brand slewing rings in all activities:
Our test benches allow us to test and validate the conformity of our designs and manufacturing processes. Our software allows our teams to perform calculations and record measurement results with micron-level accuracy. Test benches are essential and are used on a daily basis in the development of a product or a project, whether made to order or tailor-made.
These test benches make it possible to guarantee compliance with the requirements and standards of our various markets.
