CTLAB sponsors TU Brno Racing

Our laboratory sponsors BUT students team TU Brno Racing for many years. The team presented a new model of the student formula, already the fourth electric single-seater named Dragon e4. As every year, the student team will be part of the global Formula Student competition. They ended in the world top 20 in the last season, exactly in the 15th place.

In cooperation with the team, our laboratory participates in the development of automotive parts through non-destructive testing with X-ray computed tomography. In the past years, we have tested, for example, the quality of glued joints as part of the development of composite axle arms, the geometry of shock absorber heads for their subsequent optimization. Furthermore, the quality of the production of carbon wheels, checking the bubbles in the disc between the layers of carbon and an analysis of the motor stator.
