Device testing

Device testing

Best for: validating the mechanical function of devices and components in industrial and consumer product development

Track actuators, hinges, latches and other moving parts as they operate, with precise 2D planar measurement
Measure position, displacement, velocity and timing through each actuation cycle
Assess repeatability and wear, and verify that devices meet quality and reliability requirements

Covers: mechanical function testing, repeatability assessment, wear characterization

Get more data from every destroyed prototype

Pre-launch prototypes are scarce and a drop test usually destroys them. TEMA captures position, orientation, velocity and acceleration from each drop, so one test answers what used to take several.

Full 3D motion from a single camera

Rigid body analysis with one camera gives you orientation and rotation without building a stereo rig in your drop tower.

Measurements you can trace back to a certificate

Lens calibration with the Lenscaliboard removes lens distortion before anything is measured. The board has 0.02 mm printing accuracy and is delivered with a certificate.

Traditional workflow	TEMA Industrial
❌Hours of manual frame-by-frame review of drops and impacts	✅Products tracked automatically through the whole event
❌One drop, one measurement	✅Position, orientation, velocity and acceleration from every drop
❌Damage and deformation judged by eye	✅Full-field strain maps showing where parts deform and fail
❌Video clips as the only evidence of what went wrong	✅Measured data to compare with simulations and verify design fixes

Drop & Impact Testing

Measure position, orientation, velocity and acceleration throughout the drop to evaluate durability and impact response.

Deformation, Strain & Joint Failure

Use 2D and 3D Digital Image Correlation to analyze strain distribution and structural response, down to failure around bolts and joints.

High-Speed Deformation

Capture 3D displacement and strain of plates and panels under shockwave loading, and measure local peak displacement and vibration frequency.

Rigid Body Dynamics

Capture full six-degree-of-freedom motion data to analyze object motion, rotation and dynamics.

Mechanism & Robot Motion

Analyze fans, industrial robots and other mechanical devices as several segments to determine complete movement and verify intended motion.

Design & Simulation Validation

Compare physical test data with your design models to validate performance specifications.

Seeing failure before it happens.

Researchers from Saab and Linköping University used TEMA's stereo Digital Image Correlation to study how composite-aluminium bolted joints fail under tensile load.

About the study

Published: Composite Structures, 2022
Research team: Hannes Wemming, Stefan B. Lindström, Lars Johansson and Zlatan Kapidžić, Saab AB and Linköping University
Method: tensile testing of CFRP-aluminium bolted joints, measured with a TEMA stereo DIC system
Key finding: permanent deformation where the composite bulges out near the bolt hole, a sign of localized material failure

What is TEMA Industrial?

TEMA Industrial is motion analysis and measurement software for industrial and consumer product development. It turns high-speed video into quantified motion, deformation and strain data for drop testing, material characterization and rigid body analysis.

Which configuration do we need?

Drop test for impact and durability, Deformation for strain and material failure, and Rigid body for moving and rotating parts. Not sure? Our team will help you choose.

Can we use our existing cameras?

Yes. TEMA supports all commonly used video and image formats and a growing range of vendor-specific codecs.

How much does TEMA Industrial cost?

TEMA Industrial is available in several configurations, priced to match your test program's needs. Contact us for a quote based on your configuration.
