ATOS is an optical 3D-scanning system for non-contact measurement of details for digitisation and geometry analysis. The system enables conversion of three-dimensional surfaces to point clouds and after further processing to CAD models.

ATOS can be seen as a fast, portable and non-contact coordinate measuring machine, which provides millions of measuring points.

Some areas of use:

• Product and tool development for:
  • Extension of existing products
  • Digitization of hand-built models
  • Modification of old products or tools
  • Trimming tools
  • Digitization of "master" models
• Analysis of wear for determination of service intervals
• Quality control
  • During the development process
  • During curing and aging processes
  • Production quality
• Verification of simulations

The ATOS (Advanced Topometric Sensor) digitisation system digitises the measuring object quickly and easily with a high local measuring point resolution and accuracy. The ATOS system works based on the triangulation principle. It captures each individual 3D-measuring point via two different methods in a quasi-triangular measurement. During the measurement, a fringe pattern is projected on the measuring object and captured by two cameras. During a scan, several million 3D-points are created. To capture complex objects completely, different partial views are combined and the system transforms these measurements into a global coordinate system. To do this, the system uses reference points (circular point markers) that are applied to or near the measuring object.

The delivery from a 3D-scan can be almost anything from a point cloud for the measurement object to a report with geometric analysis and comparisons to nominal CAD data. In addition, the scan data can also be taken further and made into CAD-geometry for export.

The measurement can usually be performed within a week from first contact and the result is normally delivered a day or two after measurement.

RISE tests boards for non-load-bearing purposes and load-bearing boards for constructive use in walls, floors and ceilings and performs manufacturing inspections in production plants. We also have our own method for testing of step through safety that has been developed to meet the Swedish Work Environment Authority's rules.

Testing can be performed prior to certification of boards such as CE marking or because the manufacturer for some other reason wants to know the quality of the boards. It can be wood based boards such as chipboards, OSB and plywood or other types of boards as gypsum boards, fiber cement boards, etc.

Wood-based boards for construction purposes, load-bearing or not, must today be CE-marked against EN 13986 as it is a harmonized standard.  Depending of the intended use for the product the tests can be more or less extensice. Sometimes it is enough with material tests of small specimens, but sometimes it is necessary to performe full scale type testing of the construction. Wood-based boards that are explicitly for floors and ceilings are tested according to EN 1195 and EN 12871 (static and dynamic point load). Walls are tested according to EN 12871 and EN 596 (soft body impact) and/or EN 594 (strength and stiffness, so-called racking test). 

Tests according to EN 12871 take place with more or less finished roof, wall or floor constructions, eg floor chipboard, roof plywood, heated floors or installation floors.

RISE can also determine formaldehyde content according to the perforator method (EN 120) and formaldehyde release in chambers, for eg CARB, EPA or CE-marking.

The boards are tested in a lab environment, ranging from a sawn-out board specimen to a full format construction.

Delivery time is determined at the quotation stage. Delivery time often depends on whether the material is to be conditioned in special climates.

The following standards are often used for material quality testing:

• EN 310 Flexural strength and modulus of elasticity
• EN 317 Thickness swelling
• EN 319 Transverse tensile strength
• EN 321 Moisture resistance
• EN 314-1, -2 Plywood
• EN 789 Mechanical properties (eg bend, pressure, tensile, shear)

RISE performs analyzes on impregnated wood

RISE performs analyzes of the composition of the wood preservative, penetration of the wood preservative and the uptake of the wood preservative. We can also perform condition assessments on existing structures with regard to the quality of the pressure impregnation.

RISE currently performs production inspections on NTR-labeled impregnated wood in Sweden, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Norway and Germany, among others.

RISE measures how material moves with regard to humidity and temperature variations.

To know how different types of board materials (eg floors such as laminate or parquet, wet room boards, countertops or other wood-based boards) move under different types of climate, RISE can measure this by cycling climate in climate rooms and climate cabinets and by measuring with much precise measuring instruments.

The test can be performed according to several different standards, but often according to EN 1910 and EN 318.

Test report

The delivery time depends on which climate cycles are to be performed and depending on the material to be evaluated.

In order to be able to label primary batteries with the Nordic Ecolabel, these must, among other things, meet the limit values ​​for the content of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg).

For rechargeable batteries (secondary batteries) there are also limit values ​​for arsenic (As).

The method is based on the "Battery Industry Standard Analytical Method. For the determination of Mercury, Cadmium and Lead in Alkaline Manganese Cells". The determination is made with ICP-MS.

The results are delivered in the form of a report.

At least four copies of each model/product must be analyzed and all four must meet the requirements. We wish to receive at least six copies of each product.

The impulse excitation technique (IET) is a non-destructive material-characterization technique to determine the elastic properties and internal friction of a material up to 800 °C. It measures the resonant frequencies to calculate the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio and internal friction of predefined shapes like rectangular bars.

Determination of the Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio of sheet material at various strain levels.

The measurement principle is based on exciting a specimen using a small hammer and recording the induced vibration signal with a microphone. The acquired vibration signal in the time domain is converted to the frequency domain by a fast Fourier transformation. Dedicated software will determine the resonant frequency with high accuracy to calculate the elastic properties based on the classical beam theory. 

The results are delivered according to agreement.

According to agreement

The rolling direction should be clearly marked on the test material

Jewelry can be made from a mixture of materials and may contain harmful substances such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd).

Both lead and cadmium are substances that are unhealthy and harmful to the environment. To ensure that jewelry does not contain these harmful substances, an analysis with an X-ray instrument (XRF) can be performed.

Each part of the jewelery is analyzed and thus the jewelery may be taken apart depending on how it looks.
