Features and Advantages
Electric-Only Design: Eliminates hydraulic systems for cleaner, more precise operation and reduced maintenance.
High Rigidity Construction: Solid steel shafting ensures minimal deflection during testing.
Adjustable Beams: Manual height adjustment allows flexible accommodation of different seat configurations.
Programmable Motion & Speed: Variable extension/retraction rates via user-friendly PC software.
Integrated Data Acquisition: Automatic plotting and recording of load and position for each test cycle.
Printable & Exportable Results: Graphs can be printed or saved for reporting and analysis.
Simple Setup & Operation: Intuitive software designed for users familiar with standard Windows PC environment.
Versatile Testing: Supports both static and dynamic load applications, including destructive testing scenarios.
Test Procedures
(1) Install and secure the bus seat on the bedplate according to the applicable standard.
(2) Calibrate load and displacement sensors.
(3) Set loading direction, speed, stroke, and target load in the control software.
(4) Start the test and apply load automatically according to the programmed sequence.
(5) The system stops automatically upon reaching specified conditions or structural failure.
(6) Inspect and document seat deformation and failure mode.
(7) Export and archive test data and load–displacement curves.
