Tom Loseth, Eagle Ottawa Laboratory Systems Manager Product testing is an indispensable step in producing superior Eagle Ottawa leather. Our corporate materials lab provides validation services with the ability to perform all of the tests specified by major automotive companies. We can perform hundreds of tests of various types, such as, abrasion, fading, strength and fogging analysis. Each production facility has a dedicated materials satellite lab with the capability and responsibility to certify that every load of leather the plant produces performs as designed. Six-Axis Robotic Testing: A Unique Capability Eagle Ottawa's validation process also includes full seat and component testing. Our testing facility is unique in the industry. We're the only automotive leather manufacturer in the world with its own robotic testing capability which features a six-axis robot that duplicates real world use of leather products. This sophisticated machine applies pressure, movement and friction to simulate a 300-pound person getting in and out of a vehicle several times per day. This unique tool is critical to product development, benchmark testing and quality control of globally produced materials. In providing these and other types of leather testing, we can refine and produce the very best product for every vehicle. Click here to view our Six-Axis Robot video
