Jamco America, a leading supplier of aircraft interiors and turnkey integrator, has announced the expansion of its testing capabilities across multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive, space, defense, and marine. As a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-accepted dynamic test facility, Jamco America is now equipped to conduct a broad range of tests, including mechanical, static load, fire, ballistic, and environmental assessments.
The company’s new testing facilities enable rigorous evaluation of products at nearly every stage of the design process. Jamco America has been involved in dynamic testing for various components, such as passenger and attendant seats, static testing for galleys, closets, lavatories, and stowage bins, as well as life cycle testing for cockpit doors and slip resistance tests for lavatory floor mats.
Highlighting Recent Developments
Jamco America’s dynamic test facility is among the few FAA-accepted facilities in the U.S., reflecting its advanced capabilities. In addition to conducting FAA tests, the company has been commissioned to provide dynamic test training for the FAA. As an FAA Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) Office, Jamco America also offers consultation services for FAA certification tests and requirements.
The company’s materials testing lab is particularly beneficial during the initial design phases, where evaluating the mechanical properties of new materials—such as metals and advanced composites—is crucial. The lab can assess tensile and compression strength and other key mechanical properties under both room and elevated temperature conditions. The facility is equipped with an accelerator-type impact system, allowing for testing with highly specified acceleration profiles. Extensive sensors and data acquisition technology further enhance the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the testing process.
Comprehensive Testing Facilities
Jamco America’s extensive testing capabilities include fire properties testing, acoustic testing, static load testing, ballistic testing, and product lifecycle assessments. The facility is prepared to accommodate additional customer-requested tests, provided the necessary equipment and specifications are available.
With decades of experience in the aerospace industry, Jamco America’s testing team is well-versed in product testing and applications across various sectors. Their expertise ensures that clients receive detailed and actionable data to optimize product performance, regardless of the product development phase.
In summary, Jamco America’s enhanced testing capabilities position the company as a crucial player in the evaluation and certification of products across multiple industries, reinforcing its commitment to supporting innovation and quality in product development.
