TYRI invests an additional €197K EUR ($234K USD) in its EMC laboratory "Now all tests can be carried out in house at TYRI – saving time and money"
TYRI, a world leader in lighting for machinery, continues to invest in the future as they now finance an additional €197K to make possible the ability to do more tests in their own in their EMC laboratory in Gothenburg. With the new investment, they are now able to also measure how their work lights are affected by external interference factors such as power lines, cell towers or the electric environment of the vehicle.
When TYRI built their EMC laboratory, the aim was to measure whether their lights interfered with other electronic equipment on board a machine. However, the goal was always to be able to carry out all the tests needed to ensure complete electronic compatibility of the lights – both the impact the lights have in their environment and the environment has on the lights. That goal has now been achieved with the recent investments made. Now TYRI is more agile and can develop customized solutions and brand-new products even faster.
"There is a clear framework that needs to be met when developing new lights, but then we also have our own expectations of what our lights will cope with. With the equipment we had before, we were able to measure how our lamps affected the environment. But now we can also see how the lamps react to external stress. This can be anything from a power line hanging overhead, when there is a mobile mast near or other equipment on the vehicle that generates disturbances," says Håkan Dalsvik, Senior test engineer at TYRI.
With the new equipment you can measure how the surroundings affect the lamps, but it is also possible to see how other equipment in the vehicle affects. Håkan Dalsvik sees an investment of €197K to make possible all tests required for a quality lamp, as a good investment.
"Above all, it is not about the money we save by not having to rent to external testing laboratories, but about the speed of our development of new lamps, and when we tailor lamps to our customers. Finding an error late in the process and adjusting it and then lining up to get a new time to test is extremely time consuming and can affect our delivery reliability. Therefore, we are very pleased to now be able to be completely self-sufficient in testing our products and with that we have also increased our level of knowledge in the company," concludes Håkan Dalsvik.
In addition to testing electrical disturbances, TYRI can test its lights in its laboratory based on extreme weather conditions - ranging from cold to hot, moisture and dust. In addition, there are test equipment to measure, among other things, light image, vibration sensitivity and rust/corrosion resistance.
