Automotive Seat Durability Testing

In the automotive industry, robots are used to cycle test seats for wear and durability.

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.

Servo Motor Torque Control

Automated systems in a variety of different industries rely on servo motors to monitor linear and rotational motion. Frictional loss and motor speed change necessitate the inclusion of a closed loop control system. To accomplish this, place a reaction torque sensor between the servo gearbox and its mounting location to measure the generated torque.

Die Attach Force Measurement

Semiconductor chips are fragile devices prior to packaging and require delicate handing. During Through-Silicon Via (TSV), eutectic, epoxy, or solder based die attach processes, consistent force must be applied to the the chip. Incorrect force application causes broken chips and incomplete bonds. Load cells incorporated into the die attach tooling enables closed loop con...

Auditing Robotic Prosthetics

They say to make an omelet you need to break a few eggs. Of course, it helps when the eggs are broken into the bowl, and not broken in the carton prior to taking them out.

With advancements in prosthetics allowing fine motor control driven by a patient’s nervous systems, the use of miniature load cells placed at grip points help observe a wide variety of operating conditions the patient requires from their prosthetic every day.
