Dual Axis Fatigue Test System

Engineered for long duration testing, this system provides automated multi-axis mechanical fatigue testing for peripheral stents under simulated physiological conditions. This system offers high-speed, servo-controlled bend and extension movements with integrated heating and fluid flow to replicate in vivo environments.

Key Features

System Capabilities:

  • Multi-axis fatigue testing with synchronized bend and extension motion (0.1–5.0 Hz)
  • Servo-driven motion using Keyence 2.0 kW and 1.5 kW motors with absolute encoders
  • Closed-loop fluid heating system to body temperature (up to 100 °C)
  • Pressure and flow monitoring to ensure safe operation and process accuracy
  • Laser displacement sensors for precision origin alignment and position verification

 

User Interface & Control:

  • 15-inch color touchscreen HMI with recipe-based setup and monitoring
  • Configurable test parameters including bend angle, bar radius, tube diameter, temperature, and pressure
  • Real-time display of waveform motion, cycle counts, and temperature/pressure trends
  • Tiered access levels (General, Operator, Advanced) for process protection
  • Onboard data logging and error history tracking for diagnostics and traceability

 

Safety & Reliability:

  • Solenoid-locked safety enclosures with door interlocks
  • Emergency stop circuit and thermal limit shutdowns
  • Alarm system with real-time alerts for flow, temperature, pressure, and servo conditions
  • Integrated preventative maintenance tracking based on total test cycles
