It's one of the most important trade fairs in the automotive sector - and IMA Dresden will be there, together with Applus+ Laboratories: we will be presenting together at the Automotive Testing Expo (ATE) in Stuttgart from 21 to 23 June 2022. At stand 1622, visitors can see for themselves the synergies generated by our integration into the Applus+ Group in May last year. They come into play especially in our services for the automotive industry, as we serve different areas, both of which are important in automotive engineering. For example, IMA Dresden specialises in mechanical and environmental testing of structures, materials and other electrical components. We have differentiated expertise in the areas of structural and component testing, [...]

No matter if you are interested in the basics, if you want an update or if WIAM® fatigue RIFEST is applicable for you in your daily engineering routine: IMA Dresden offers the perfect training for you or your company. The FKM guideline "Computational Strength Assessment of Mechanical Engineering Parts" is applicable in mechanical engineering and related industrial fields. It enables the computational strength assessment on the basis of nominal stresses and local elastic stresses, taking into account all relevant influences. Get first-hand information, because both the FKM guideline and all revisions have been developed under the leadership of IMA Dresden. As IMA Dresden, we offer the training courses both in presence and online. Details on [...]

Whether it's a car headlight or a connector – many products that we use every day, get moist or even wet. And they still have to function perfectly. In our new water chamber with which we just recently upgraded our environmental laboratory, we test if products are splash-proof. Our accredited facility offers the possibility of modifying and developing new test methods. In our new water chamber, we can carry out protection class tests for electrical parts and components according to the IP code (IPX0-6(K)) - fully automatically. These tests are particularly important in the field of electromobility: We are now able to test electrical components for cars up to 3.5 tons according to the standard LV 124 as well as car connectors according to the [...]

Together with ihf Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH a team of engineers from IMA Dresden developed the WIAM® fatigue RIFEST-Toolbox. The toolbox consists of two different programs for the Static Strength assessment and the Fatigue Assesment (high and low cycle fatigue): The WIAM® fatigue RIFEST program was developed by IMA Dresden and maps the guideline-compliant strength assessment at assessment points for non-welded and welded components according to the FKM guideline linear. The second part of the toolbox is the AutoFENA NL Solo program. The program was developed by ihf Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH. It can be used to perform both the static strength assessment and the fatigue strength assessment. Via the graphical user interface, the user can define [...]
