FAQ
Questions we hear first.
How long does a test stand take?
Simple fixtures take weeks. Stations with automation and software take a few months, with a working first version early.
Who makes the hardware?
Machined parts come from precision workshops. Design, assembly, bring-up and documentation are done by Techkrates.
Does the stand come qualified?
Yes. It comes with URS, risk analysis and a DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ package, so your QA can release it.
Do you sign an NDA, and who owns the results?
Yes. Techkrates signs your NDA before the first technical details, and the designs, documents and data made for your project belong to you.
In which language are the documents?
German or English, in your templates and your document numbering.
