Bend Tester
Over 5,000 successful tests run
I created a control system for a large scale pressure and deflection testing rig, controlled by custom electronics and a web-app front end.
I delivered both the proof-of-concept electronics, and the electrical panel for the full factory production quality build.
Here’s the humble beginnings of the project, a small scale electronic prototype that was able to operate a hydraulic press.
This prototype was installed in a 1-ton steel frame, the biggest product that ever came out of mHUB!
In the finished version of the project, the electronics were neatly mounted in a NEMA enclosure to ensure the project would be durable and easily repairable in the future.
The interface and controls system I designed allowed the client to get real-time telemetry from the press, and automatically determined the deflection point at which a wooden mat would crack.
So far the client has had over 5000 successful tests!
