Testing Machines for Industry and Mechanical Engineering

Founded in 1987, 3R (Recherches & Réalisations Rémy) is a leader and specialist in the design and manufacture of materials testing machines, used to characterize, validate and ensure the performance of materials and products.

From aerospace and automotive to the railway, maritime and energy sectors, 3R equipment supports manufacturers, laboratories, research centers and certification bodies in their quality control and qualification projects.

Technical Support in Italy:

RAMICO srl is 3R’s official partner in Italy and provides prompt assistance, on-site consulting and ongoing support to Italian customers.

Dynamometers and Universal Testing Machines

Find the right equipment for your tensile, compression, flexural, creep and fatigue testing needs

  • SYNTAX Range: A streamlined solution, ideal for conducting tests on a limited budget without compromising on quality or accuracy.
  • SYNTECH Range (Premium): High-end machines equipped with the exclusive RIGI-DRIVE system, featuring an ultra-rigid frame and backlash-free transmission for exceptional positioning accuracy.
  • SYNTIUM Range: Custom-designed solutions developed by our R&D department for non-standard applications (e.g. test chamber dimensions or extreme loads).
  • SYNTHEZ Range: Machines specifically designed for low-capacity testing.

Fatigue and Creep Testing Machines

In addition to universal testing machines, 3R develops systems for evaluating the long-term performance of materials:

  • Fatigue Testing: High-frequency systems (VHCF up to 20 kHz) for metallic materials and strength testing.
  • Creep Testing: Dead-weight loading equipment (with test durations configurable for up to 99 years) or hydraulic systems for high-load testing from 100 to 1000 kN.

 

Accessories, Sensors and Instrumentation

A high-performance machine requires equally high-performance instrumentation. We provide a wide range of accessories for your system

  • Ultra-high-precision extensometers (video, laser, clip-on and high-temperature models).
  • Hydraulic grips and fixturing systems for peel, shear, bending and tensile testing of cables or strands.
  • Thermal chambers and furnaces for testing materials under extreme temperature conditions.

Synt-X Control Software and Services

Manage every aspect of your tests with Synt-X, 3R’s intuitive and high-performance "Full touch-screen" software. The system allows you to configure test cycles with just a few clicks, perform batch testing, and create highly customizable analysis reports through integration with Excel and the Office suite.

Services

  • Custom Design (R&D): Development of custom, tailor-made and dedicated machines for industrial innovation and integration of control systems.
  • Modernization and Retrofit (RETROTECH): We give your old frames a new lease of life, regardless of the manufacturer, by replacing obsolete electronics with modern systems while keeping your existing accessories, helping you optimize your investment.
  • Remote Maintenance: Integrated remote assistance service on all machines to promptly resolve any technical issues.
