Fatigue Testing: Upgrading to a More Flexible, Robust, and Accurate Testing Machine

Challenge

A fastening system tool manufacturer wanted to upgrade their fatigue testing machines that used hydraulic cylinder actuators and hydraulic power. They were experiencing frequent leaks, causing downtime and excessive maintenance. They also wanted to improve the ergonomics of the test facility by reducing noise and improving safety. They needed to reliability fatigue test their C-frames and establish operating data for safety approval ratings. They wanted a flexible system that could test multiple product variations that were accurate and robust.
