C-Frame Fatigue Testing

Challenge

A fastening system manufacturer wanted to upgrade their servo hydraulic fatigue testing machines by eliminating hydraulics due to leaks and excessive noise from the HPU. They needed to reliability test their C-frames and establish operating data for safety approval ratings. They wanted a robust proven solution with no hydraulics or leak points (hoses).
