Frankonia · Chambers, absorbers, shielding, automation

EMC and antenna chambers, engineered and built in Germany

Frankonia has designed and built anechoic chambers and shielded rooms since 1987 from Heideck, Bavaria, with its own absorber, shielding, door and automation manufacturing. ICX Lab is the authorised distributor and manages your chamber project locally, from site survey to validation.

Why Frankonia

One manufacturer for the whole chamber

Absorbers, shielding panels, doors, gates, turntables and masts are all made by Frankonia, so one company is responsible for the performance of the finished room.

Since 1987More than 37 years of EMC and antenna chamber projects for the electronics, automotive and defence industries.
Made in-houseFrankosorb absorbers, PAN shielding panels, doors and gates, and automation all manufactured in Germany and Poland.
Global presenceHeadquarters in Germany, manufacturing in Poland, subsidiaries in China and India, and service representatives in over 80 countries.
Turn-key deliveryConsulting, engineering, manufacturing, implementation and project management from one team, with ICX Lab managing the project locally.

Frankosorb absorbers

Absorbers made by the chamber builder

Frankosorb absorbers are rated A2 non-combustible to EN 13501-1 and are chosen per chamber to match the frequency range and test distance.

Why through ICX Lab

A chamber project managed in your time zone

Site survey and specificationWe match the chamber, absorbers and automation to the standards and products you will test, and prepare the site requirements.
Project management on siteDelivery, installation and commissioning coordinated locally with Frankonia's engineers.
Validation after handoverNormalised site attenuation and site VSWR measured in the finished chamber under the A2LA accredited scope, so the validation report goes straight into your accreditation file.
Complete laboratoryChamber, AMETEK CTS generators and amplifiers, Nexio BAT-EMC software and CHANGEN fibre links, cameras and fixtures delivered as one commissioned system.
