Automated Force of Insertion Tester
Initial renderings of an automated testing apparatus.
The illustrated apparatus was used to quantified the force required for proper assembly of a clinical diagnostic disposable.
Operation:
Automatic force measurements were taken during the insertion of a plastic cap into a 20ml test tube.
My data analysis algorythm was applied to force measurements, calculating the force required to fully bottom out the plastic cap.
