Florida company helps manufacturers in France hold things together
December 5, 2008
COM-TEN Industries helps French companies create safer, sounder structure and products in medicine, building, airplanes and more.
When you’re sitting in an airplane, a car or a building, do you ever stop and think about what holds it together–or what force it might take to tear it apart? Probably not, or you might never leave home. Thankfully, an entire industry is involved with the testing of structural integrity of this kind, manufacturing equipment like force gauges and pull testers to measure everything from the strength of a bottle cap seal to crucial welding joints on vehicles.
For this hidden but vital need, French companies have been relying on a US Florida-based manufacturer COM-TEN Industries for equipment like torque gauges, force testers and more. In business in the US since 1960, COM-TEN now supplies its test stands, torque gauges and other products all over the world, and is the leading supplier of force testers of all kinds in France. Their handheld and test stand solutions measure components found in automotive, aerospace, building supplies and electronics among others. Their force gauges, pull testers and application software are used for a wide range of testing methods.
Nowhere is this more important than in the building industry. Subject continuously to the forces of wind, gravity, and even their own weight, not to mention events like earthquakes, buildings under construction need force testers and torque gauges to measure every detail for the structure to be sound. Fasteners that hold roof tiles together must be checked with pull testers to make sure they hold under both normal and any possible abnormal conditions. COM-TEN provides both analog and digital pull testers, and has been doing more and more work with the building industry in France and around the world. The company will exhibit its torque gauge, force gauge and pull tester technology at the International Roofing Expo 2009 in Las Vegas, the leading trade show of its kind which attracts 9,000 industry professionals from every segment of the roofing market.
In the medical device industry, sound equipment can be a matter of life or death. Packaging, whether in cardboard, plastic or glass, also needs to be tested for crush resistance, adhesive strength, child-resistance and much more. COM-TEN makes test stands and force gauges to measure the integrity of all kinds of packaging and devices for the medical and pharmaceutical industry and other industries in France and elsewhere. COM-TEN also makes software to aid in the automation of all kinds of tests.
With the physical integrity of cars, buildings, medical equipment and more guaranteed by the force testers provided by Florida’s COM-TEN, millions of people in France never have to think about what holds things together.
COM-TEN Industries, based in Florida, is a leading manufacturer of force testing equipment since 1960 and serves companies in aeronautics, building, medical devices and other industries worldwide.
