Company
The company has been in business since 1990 and is located in Calenzano, near Florence.
The company has a staff of 30 engineering technicians, all graduates, trained and qualified in measurement, analysis and diagnostics and mechanical, electronic and software design engineering.
SINT Technology’s main business activities are:
- Laboratory measurement, testing, analysis and diagnostic services applied to stress, vibration, noise, emissions and the thermodynamic performance of machinery and plants
- Production of measuring equipment for special applications, including metal and stone materials, and metal and stone works of art
- Mechanical and electronic design engineering, construction and supply of special equipment. Design engineering and production of software for various applications: as an integral part of measuring equipment produced by SINT Technology, for acquisition of laboratory data, and for custom-design computer programs
- Training: Strain gauge measurement courses and examinations for first and second-level certification for electrical resistance strain gauge testing engineers. Our examination centre is the only centre recognised in Italy (by CIC-CPND, the Italian Coordination Centre for Non-Destructive Testing). Courses are also held on residual stress measurement by mechanical methods and on measurement uncertainty.
SINT Technology is one of the laboratories included by the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR) in the register of highly qualified laboratories authorised to conduct research for small and medium sized enterprises. This recognition enables companies that commission our laboratory with a research project to benefit from automatic subsidies provided for by article 14 of decree 593 of 8 August 2000.
Since 1998 SINT Technology’s Quality Management System has conformed to the requirements of standard UNI EN ISO 9001 for the following applications:
- mechanical, electronic and software design engineering for prototypes of new machines
- design and construction of test facilities and data acquisition systems
- noise level, vibration, turbomachinery performance and strain gage measurement services: evaluation of the uncertainty of measurement systems; calculations and services for reporting on CO2 emissions.
The certification body Det Norske Veritas (DNV) issued Certificate CERT-02678-98-AQ-BOL-SINCERT, attesting conformity of the company’s Quality Management System to standard UNI EN ISO 9001:2000.
Since 2010 SINT Technology’s test laboratory has been accredited to standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005 by the Italian accreditation body ACCREDIA with accreditation number 910.
