This test setup is design to perform life tests on metal springs as part of an R&D project. This setup can test 25 springs simultaneously.
The springs are placed in the holders. The pressure can be adjusted pneumatically for each individual holder. Here, the area to which the force is applied can be limited mechanically. Below the holders is the camshaft, which is driven by a closed-loop controlled motor. This compresses each spring once during a rotation.
The control panel can be used to set how many times the spring will be compressed during one test cycle. The rotation speed can be adjusted by means of a rotary knob. The number of rotations made is measured by an inductive sensor. When the set number of rotations is reached, the test cycle stops.
