Ensuring Safety and Compliance – PAT Testing for a UK Manufacturer

United Kingdom

The Project

Our UK manufacturing customer needed to ensure the optimal performance of a newly ordered finishing machine. They needed to have confidence in the machine’s functionality before it was shipped to their location. This was especially important as any performance issues with the machine could lead to delays in their operations and have a commercial impact. The client asked Farrat to perform a Pre-Acceptane Test (PAT) on a new piece of machinery. This testing is necessary to ensure the machine’s performance and functionality was in line with the specifications.

 

Key value we brought to the project

Our team devised a comprehensive solution, understanding the need to conduct measurements on the machine to thoroughly assess its performance. This would allow us to identify any potential issues as soon as possible and ensure that the machine met the UK manufacturer’s requirements. We visited the manufacturer’s facility and utilizsed a DAQ card, accelerometers and an instrumented hammer to take operational and resonance measurements on the machine, which provided us with precise data that allowed us to evaluate the machine’s performance in detail. Our team then meticulously analysed this data and compiled a comprehensive report. The report was clear and concise and included detailed information on the machine’s performance, as well as our conclusions and recommendations. It provided our customer with a thorough understanding of the machine’s capabilities and any potential areas of concern. This gave them the confidence to proceed with receiving the machine and integrating it into their operations.

Our solution provided our partner with the necessary information to make informed decisions about the finishing machine. By taking a proactive approach and conducting thorough measurements and analysis, we were able to identify any potential issues with the machine before it was shipped to the customers location. Partnering directly with our customer saved them potential delays and additional costs but also ensured that they received a machine that met their expectations.
