We are contributing to the development of next-generation electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles.
The Fraunhofer Institute LBF, based in Darmstadt, Germany, is a research institution specializing in the evaluation of structural durability and system reliability of components aimed at safety, primarily used in the European automotive industry. It serves as a key research institution and contract testing laboratory, as well as a development partner for automotive manufacturers. Currently, automotive manufacturers are focusing on the development of a wide range of next-generation electric vehicles, but the testing systems for the body structure of electric vehicles must be capable of accurately applying significant loads and braking forces in both vertical and longitudinal directions. In the spring of 2009, LBF, with the support of MTS, began integrating the MTS Model 329 6DOF LT system, which belongs to the MTS Model 329 spindle-coupled load simulator family, into its existing testing facilities. By February 2010, installation and setup were completed, and full-scale operations began. With the introduction of the MTS Model 329 6DOF LT system, LBF became the only contract research laboratory in Germany to provide comprehensive body structure testing for automotive manufacturers.

Company information
MTS Japan, Inc. is the Japanese subsidiary of the American engineering company MTS Systems Corporation, which specializes in various testing equipment. For over 40 years, we have provided engineering consulting services to users in Japan, delivering earthquake simulation systems, automotive durability testing systems, aircraft fatigue testing equipment, and various material testing devices to public institutions, universities, and private companies in our country. All of these systems play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of their operations and are indispensable when it comes to "manufacturing" products. MTS Japan, Inc. was established in June 1972 with a 50% investment from MTS Systems Corporation. In May 1975, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, and in 1981, we established the Nagoya branch (now the West Japan branch) to strengthen our sales and support system, which continues to this day. Through collaboration with MTS, we achieve optimization of design, improvement of productivity, and reduction of time to market for our customers' products.
