Services

To ensure that you are on the safe side during the test phases and also after your product has been put into operation by your customers, we use FEM calculations to determine the structural strength, fatigue strength and material efficiency of your concept, among other things, in the early development phases.

In doing so, we digitally illustrate the effects of various mechanical, thermal and electrical loads using linear and non-linear structural-mechanical calculations. The advantage of this is that we can examine the effects of the various influences on the entire product or component for any geometry, even complex ones, before we build prototypes.

The results of these calculations can be used as evidence for technical approvals, product liability and production releases.
FEM calculations of NovaNox® analytically follow the general and international standards. This ensures the reliability and comparability of the results. In detail:

  • we perform linear and non-linear structural mechanics calculations;
  • analyze deformations, stiffnesses and stability;
  • consider natural vibrations;
  • perform transient structural analyses;
  • carry out collision analyses;
  • carry out temperature field calculations (thermal-stationary or thermal-transient) and
  • calculate CAE-supported fatigue strength with nCode.

We carry out sound level measurements of the sound levels LAFmax, LAFmin as well as LCpeak for you on site. The aim of the measurement is to obtain information about the sound level distribution in the frequency range from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Based on the measurement results, we determine the required power for your silencer and design a suitable structure for it.

We then calculate the insertion loss based on the planned design. If necessary, this enables us to optimize the component so that you also achieve maximum sound attenuation later in use.

We already work closely with you during the development, planning and design of the construction. Together we plan the design of the material and the manufacturing process. As a result, we achieve a result that is very close to series production already in the prototype phase. As a result, you achieve the best results and keep to your time and cost planning.

With the results of FAI, the manufacturing process is optimized for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We support you in noticeably shortening the introduction times and in successfully going into series production according to plan. This way you save your project budget and highest reliability.

We handle the entire process for you, from demand planning to logistics. We have a total of 1,200 square meters of storage space available to you as a consignment warehouse. This ensures uninterrupted production processes. This saves you costs compared to your own storage capacities and allows you to produce larger batch sizes more cost-effectively.

The supply of components for your series production is thus optimally ensured. Your absorption silencers can be delivered from the consignment warehouse on schedule and flexibly on demand. Your existing logistics processes are fully integrated. In this way, absorption silencers from NovaNox® are provided throughout the year in optimal component supply.

Quality management

Welding process planning lays the foundation for selecting the optimum welding process for the specific requirements of your absorption silencers. The safety and stability of your absorption silencers is increased by the optimum welding process.

Welding process planning also involves determining and specifying the welding sequence. For more efficient production processes as well as a longer service life and reliable tightness of your absorption silencers, an optimal sequence of welding processes is important.

Type identification allows all absorption silencers in use to be easily traced back to their source. Every movement during the entire product life can be traced in detail from manufacture to the last application. This means added safety for you.

Depending on the material and stress on your absorption silencers, the following types of type identification can be considered:

  • Laser engraving
  • Welded metal nameplates with laser engraving
  • Self-adhesive metal plates with laser engraving
  • Self-adhesive plastic labels with specific imprint and silicone coating for external protection

Your absorption silencers are individually marked for you by means of symbols, numbers or letters and are always traceable. This is the optimal solution for clear path and process reconstruction.

The leak test as part of quality management ensures that your absorption silencers remain absolutely leak-proof both in continuous operation and under extreme conditions. If you want additional security, we will provide you with the leak test as a written declaration of conformity with every delivery. This NovaNox® test certificate can be seamlessly integrated into your overall documentation. We carry out these leak tests for you:

  • Conducting a 100% test with air underwater in our designated testing basin, following regulations such as ECE R34 or 70/21/EEC
  • Pressure test
  • Leak test by means of red or fluorescent dyes
  • Ultrasonic testing

Accurate documentation of production processes is an indispensable element of quality assurance in production. It ensures high product quality.  Complete documentation also opens up enormous cost-cutting potential. This is particularly interesting for large projects, because errors and quality deviations can be detected and eliminated at an early stage. Precisely documented processes are easier to reproduce and thus make additional time reserves and personnel resources available for other tasks. We provide you with this comprehensive documentation for quality management purposes:

  • Initial sample inspection report according to VDA 2, EN 9102
  • Factory certificates 3.1 and 2.2 according to EN 10204
  • Dimensional report by 3D measuring technique (Faro measuring arm)
  • Declaration of conformity for pressure tests

All our documentation can be easily integrated into your overall documentation.
