Product Testing
ARC’s in-house research and development lab provides many benefits. It allows us to focus on new product development for the abrasive market, helps us measure our performance vs. the competition, ensures that our products meet our high quality standards and provides a place to test applications for our end users.
ARC prevents disruptions to production by testing applications in our lab not on your floor. We recreate your conditions by using a work piece you provide, custom making one or reviewing your video. We break down each step of the application and provide performance results and specific directions for improvement and cost savings.
5 Step Productivity Analysis
ARC takes a unique, customized approach to understanding how our products perform. We approach every situation using our 5 Step Productivity Analysis, and provide you with the best solution for your abrasive application.
STEP 1: Determine Process
Perform a comprehensive assessment on-site:
- Metals used
- Fabrication processes
- Current abrasive applications
- Current products used
- Customer objectives
STEP 2: Recreate Conditions
Duplicate conditions in our lab, eliminating testing in your facility and disruption to your production. Develop a cost effective process for your abrasive application.
STEP 3: Demonstrate Modifications
Return to the end user with our lab results to perform focused end user testing.
STEP 4: Document Feedback
Document all test results with each operator in writing.
STEP 5: Provide Cost Savings and Process Improvements
Compare pricing and testing results, present time and cost saving solutions.
