NOISE QUALITY

OUR SERVICES

Test stands and services to improve subjective and objective product quality

This is accompanied by the use of modern CAE systems and standardized material pair testing to avoid contact pairs that have a tendency for stick-slip. Different materials within a vehicle do feel the same – in technical speaking this is called “material match” - with the help of our haptics system, we are able to measure relevant physical parameters, which are relevant to touch haptics and create a so-called haptic fingerprint of the material surface.

Research and Development

Experts at work

In order to secure our technological leadership, we carry out publicly funded research projects. The findings are used to further develop our test benches in the areas of materials testing, annoying noise, touch haptics and noise quality.

Quality through management

ISO 9001:2015

The assurance of process quality and product quality in our company, through the corresponding certifications, accreditations and approvals, such as ISO 9001:2015, is a very important to us.

We think ahead . . .

…and support our customers with measurement technologies and services for acoustical and perceived product quality, as well as their improvements.

In this context, product quality is defined by subjective and objective factors. ZIEGLER-Instruments makes it possible with its testing technology to measure both the objective and the subjectively perceived quality and to convert it into comparable key figures.

These testing techniques and services support the complete life cycle of products. Starting with the planning and designing of CAD data, through inline testing in series production and enables long lasting quality control.

Career

At the heart of our organization is the human being, the employee, as the key to success. We prefer flat hierarchies and a cooperative and open approach, which should avoid "micromanagement".

In a previously agreed, individual framework, our employees are given room to make decisions in which they can contribute their own potential. Their working environment can be shaped in such a way that it allows them to do their tasks most effiently.
