Special Purpose Machine – Compression Testing Machine
Project Scope
Customer wanted to automate the testing process of Rubber, that involves applying a compression force of 1.5 ton.
Business Challenges
- Low Productivity & Human Error – Precise operation
- Low Efficiency – Manual loading rubber & procedure
- Non-availability of skilled manpower
- Lack of safety
ARi’s Solutions
- Rubber Testing Process ASTM D395-03 (2008) calls for a test involving compressing rubber samples up to 25% thickness and holding it in that state for entire test
- ARi designed & developed a machine automates this process by exerting up to 1.5tons compressive force using Pneumatic cylinder and another set of cylinders lock it in that position for rest of the test. The same setup can be reloaded to unlock the sample
ARi’s Value Proposition
- 100% accurate testing vs manual testing
- Consistency in holding to 25% thickness over manual control
- 80-100% cost saving by automation over manual/labour work
- Improved quality, Accuracy & Repeatability
- Improved Safety, Consistency & productivity
- Minimizes operating cost
