Automated connector force testing. Final report.

摘要

A gaging system was developed to modernize the force testing of electrical connectors and components using an IBM personal computer based data acquisition system. Two mechanical fixtures were fabricated using load cells and LVDT transducers to perform the measurements. General purpose software routines perform the operator interface, data acquisition, storage, retrieval, and printout The system will perform statistical analysis of the part data to aid in evaluation of the manufacturing process. The modular software concept allows the system to be tailored for many other applications using a text editor.
