Columbia Research Laboratories, Inc.

Description

Columbia Research Laboratories is a privately held woman-owned small business located in Woodlyn, Pennsylvania, just minutes away from the Philadelphia Airport. We presently house 20,000 square feet of modern clerical, management and engineering offices, product development and environmental test laboratories, and efficient production hardware manufacturing and test centers. Our 2,000 square foot environmental test lab houses two computer controlled centrifuges utilized for setup and final calibration of our Linear Servo product line. The systems are capable of generating static accelerations up to 200 G's. In addition, another dual centrifuge system gives Columbia the unique ability to generate a dynamic +/- G modulation of a specimen while being subjected to a constant static acceleration. Another unique centrifuge at Columbia's facility provides static acceleration at temperature. This system has successfully accelerated sensors to over 600 G at temperature. A 1,500 square foot clean More... room is utilized for assembly of our precision torque mechanisms. Columbia's piezoelectric product test laboratory incorporates three calibration-grade vibration shaker systems with two additional smaller temperature/vibration measurement systems. This facility offers both Hopkinson Bar and Avco Drop Test Shock Generation Test Stands with digital computing oscilloscope displays. Production accelerometer insert level cross axis measurements are conducted on our 360 degrees variable rotation 10 Hz slide table cross axis test stand. Design qualification base strain performance measurements can be made with a shaker-driven beam test configuration. The first floor of our facility houses Alibert Industries, a fully-equipped 4,000 square foot machine shop which incorporates the latest in CNC milling and machining equipment. Alibert Industries subcontracts exclusively to Columbia Research on a 100% basis to meet our product development and production metal fabrication needs. One thing that separate's Columbia from many of our competitors is our ability to keep all the steps of the manufacturing process in-house. We also have the ability to modify any sensor in our line to fit your specific application requirements, reducing developing costs.
