Aluminum Injection Machines:
New acquisition of Sampel which guarantees quicker and more precise results.

Modern equipment ensures quality, high productivity and prompt development of new products trending today’s vehicles.
The aluminum injection process is based on the injection of cast-aluminum alloys and high pressure.
This process ensures a better surface finishing of the products which meets with equivalent manufacturing standards of OEMs.

Sampel´s labs are essential tools for quality assurance.
It is possible to perform detailed controls, guaranteeing a product free from flaws and imperfections through its high-precision equipment.

Dynamic lab
MTS to axial deflection curves, radial, and Conical
Torsion with dynamic characterizations K, C, Phase. Its main function is to submit the components (bushings and mountings) to the durability test, simulating the action of the play in the vehicle.

Chemical laboratory
Rheometers and dynamometers ensure that the rubber used in Sampel products follow the specifications of the main Assemble Companies.
