In the automotive industry, robots are used to cycle test seats for wear and durability. Automakers research how people of all shapes and sizes affect the upholstery, seat cushions and seat structures over the life of the vehicle. FUTEK’s Fatigue Rated Pancake Load Cell LCF456 is integrated into the custom testing robot to quantify data of the compression force placed onto a seat.
- Car seats undergo robotic test that repetitively reproduce human movements and loads onto the seat under test.
- FUTEK’s Fatigue Rated Pancake Load Cell LCF456 enables the robot to quantify the force that is applied in the process with high accuracy and repeatability.
- These force measures can be streamed to a computer for analysis utilizing FUTEK’s USB Solutions.
