AUREL has developed the AxialSense sensor, designed for direct measurement of axial force in bolted joints. This specialised sensor delivers real-time, highly accurate data on bolt preload and enables evaluation of load effects depending on the type of stress or environmental conditions.

AUREL is a technology company that thrives on the expertise of its people. To ensure it always has skilled professionals in the right roles, the company has developed its own recruitment, training, and long-term development system. At the core of this system is the AUREL Academy, which over the years has proven to be a valuable tool for both professional and personal growth of employees.

AUREL is not only about vehicle testing and development. The company also places strong emphasis on its own products, many of which find applications beyond the automotive industry. One successful example is TorqGuardPro – a sensor designed for precise measurement of torque in industrial quarter-turn systems.

More than twenty years at the helm of a company that ranks among the most comprehensive development and testing centres in the Czech Republic. Michal Mrkvička, COO of AUREL, oversees everything – from development to testing. We spoke with him about new technology development, vehicle testing, and why AUREL is one of the top five development partners for carmakers in the Czech Republic. 

Metal degreasing may seem like a minor step, but in fact, it is a crucial operation that has a decisive impact on the final surface quality in the automotive industry. Every component must first undergo thorough degreasing to ensure adhesion of the protective passivation layer. Only then can subsequent processing take place.

AUREL is well-known partner for leading Czech and international carmakers in the field of vehicle testing and development. Gradually, however, the company is reaching beyond the automotive world. It is developing its own innovative products, such as ForeScan3D – a scanning technology designed for detailed recording of the human body or any object.

Metal surface treatment plays a crucial role in the automotive industry – it affects not only durability and functionality of individual parts, but also their service life, safety, and the quality of subsequent processing. AUREL offers comprehensive services in this field – from design through to the delivery of finished parts to the end customer.

Testing plays a crucial role in vehicle development. It is a key element on the path towards producing higher-quality, safer, and more reliable cars. At AUREL, testing combines advanced technologies, deep industry know-how, and a team of experienced specialists. This enables us to offer comprehensive testing services to both Czech and international car manufactures as well as component suppliers. 

In May and June, AUREL showcased its innovative technologies at three prestigious international events – well-known automotive trade fairs in Germany and the USA, as well as forensic science conference in Ireland. The outcome is new partnerships and confirmation that there is a strong interest in AUREL’s technologies not only abroad, but also beyond the automotive sector.

Traffic safety is essential for children. Whether they’re in preschool or elementary school, it’s important that they not only understand how to think about safety, but also how to act in real-life traffic situations. That’s why we created a fun and educational program that goes beyond lectures and chalkboards, it’s a hands-on experience.

Strain gauging is a reliable method for measuring mechanical stress in materials. It provides valuable insights into strain under various types of loading.

What happens when cutting-edge technology meets a human approach and true flexibility? The manufacturing facility of the Czech company AUREL, located in Chrastava, delivers comprehensive services in the field of surface treatment. With strong technical support and personalised approach, it had earned the trust of customers across Europe.
