LABSCUBED
At LabsCubed we enable elastomer companies to create new and innovative materials by implementing advanced automation in testing labs. Material producers develop new materials to meet target characteristics (strength, elongation, etc.) for a specific application or customer. The development process starts with an initial recipe and requires iterations of different compositions until the desired properties are met. Each iteration is thoroughly tested and analyzed. The insights from each test are then used to modify the next iteration of the prototype material. This intensive development process is tedious, can cost millions of dollars and last years until the target material is created. The testing and analysis of these varied compositions is manual and requires significant labor, cost, and time. Antiquated storage methods are also common, which adds further limitations to the usefulness of current data. To solve these problems we’ve created the CubeOne to remove the decades-old bottleneck of manual material testing. The CubeOne is built from the ground-up to be a fully automated tensile tester that is fast, reliable, consistent, and easy to use. Compared to manual machines, our solution is 40% more consistent and reduces labor by up to 85%. The CubeOne is made for elastomer companies and has been installed in industry leading labs in both Canada and the United States. | Labscubed specializes in the development and production of advanced automated tensile testing equipment tailored for rubber and plastics manufacturers. Our company, based in Canada, is dedicated to revolutionizing the quality control processes within these industries by providing cutting-edge solutions that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and reliability.
