AR Lab | Industrial Racks Testing Laboratory
The AR Lab is a permanent classroom at the Mondragon University and the space where basic and applied research programs, Doctoral theses, and specialized training are developed.
What is the AR Lab testing and trials Site?
The AR Lab is a space dedicated to collaborative research and development, born from the collaboration between AR Racking and Mondragon Unibertsitatea (MU), a university recognized for its technological and innovative character.
This classroom, located in the facilities of the Mechanical Design Laboratory (MDLab) of the university’s Higher Polytechnic School, has a permanent character and focuses on basic and applied research programs, doctoral theses, and specialized training.
It is a constantly developing and growing collaborative project that began to take shape in 2017 and whose first trials were conducted for the first time in 2019 after a meticulously planned start-up. Over the years, these trials have been developed and expanded into various lines of collaboration linking Mondragon Unibertsitatea and AR Racking.
Tests to optimize our solutions:
The AR Lab has an experimental testing laboratory, which allows for both systematic product testing for compliance with standards and virtual tests aimed at simulation and the generation of new knowledge.
This laboratory is equipped with an advanced testing bench, capable of performing tests on components such as uprights, connectors, frames, and beams, with a maximum capacity of 80 tons.
The AR Lab’s testing bench, considered a pioneer in the sector, will allow AR Racking to study the behavior of its products in detail, thus continuously improving its industrial storage systems.
Additionally, this collaboration will strengthen the know-how of Mondragon Unibertsitatea and its staff, promoting real-time research and training and opening new avenues in these areas.
