Introduction and Application:
The system is designed to perform compression tests on mattresses according to ASTM F1566-99.
The load frame is door frame design type.
The load frame is to be fixed to the foundation by bolts.
The load is applied by a servo motor and is measured by a load cell.
The manual displacement is measured by an encoder.
The test procedure and the data processing are performed according to No. 6 of ASTM F1566-99.
Specifications:
- Maximum load: 500 lb. (2000N)
- Load measuring range: 4%-100%
- Load accuracy: ±1%
- Testing space: 10” – 18” (250-450mm)
- Compression stroke: 8” (200mm)
- Power: 110V, 60Hz.
- Load frame dimensions: 128” X 20” X 42” (3250x500x1080mm)
- Pneumatic Positioning System
Structure and Application
This is an optional devise for the MCTS Mattress Compression Testing System.
The main function is to lift up the mattress by a pneumatic supporter in order to place the mattress in the required testing position, and stretch the 4 wheels to adjust the position easily.
After completing the adjustment, the wheels are withdrawn to place the mattress on the floor, and then perform the test
Structure: The structure is made of fine hardwood with aluminum sheet around the hardwood as the main support for the mattress, and uses air cylinder and wheel separately in the 4 corners.
Note: this system requires compressed air for proper operation.
