The SPS team proudly completed the installation of the NETZSCH DMA 503 Eplexor at Sumitomo Rubber South Africa — a major step forward in strengthening quality control at its manufacturing facility.

Our service technician, Tiaan, led the installation, supported by a service technician from NETZSCH in Germany who conducted advanced training to ensure the team is fully equipped to maximise the system’s capabilities.
The DMA 503 Eplexor® is a powerful and highly versatile system designed to apply forced periodic loads to a sample and precisely analyse the phase shift between excitation and material response.
This robust solution will play a critical role in enhancing product consistency, performance validation, and overall quality assurance.

We look forward to working closely with the Sumitomo Rubber team to improve productivity and efficiency, while supporting them in operating a smarter, faster, and safer laboratory.
