Project Description
 

The scope of this project is to design and build an automated testing machine for the application of office furniture testing.  The testing apparatus will be used to validate current functional design concerns, as well as standard product validation.  All testing performed using this test cell will be required to conform to industry standards outlined in testing specification documentation provided by Integrated Metal Technology.  The premise of testing is to simulate harsh loading conditions that may be affiliated with various failure modes.  Examples of such loads could come in forms such as excessive weights applied from individuals sitting, standing, or overloading desk and file products. The system also must be capable of testing the customers full range of office products.(see below for examples)
