Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    An automotive manufacturer needs a force testing system for their door and window seals. Their seals have an integrated anti-pinch electrical system that activates depending on the forces applied to the seals (in case of someone’s finger or head getting caught). They need a system that will be able to measure and display the forces applied in real time.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface’s solution is to install a 1101 Compression-Only Ultra Precision LowProfile™  Load Cell to the customer’s test stand. When connected to the INF-USB3 Universal Serial Bus Single Channel PC Interface Module, the forces applied will be displayed and logged onto the customer’s PC computer or laptop.

  • Results

    The automotive manufacturer was able to successfully determine the force measurements that activated their doors, windows, and sunroofs anti-pinch system.

Materials


  • 1101 Compression-Only Ultra Precision LowProfile™ Load Cell
  • INF-USB3 Universal Serial Bus Single Channel PC Interface Module with supplied software
  • Customer PC or Laptop

How it Works


  1. The 1101 Compression-Only Ultra Precision LowProfile™ Load Cell is attached to the customer’s actuator testing frame.
  2. Forces are applied to the door and window seals. The anti-pinch safety system is activated.
  3. These forces that are applied are then measured and logged, using the INF-USB3 Universal Serial Bus Single Channel PC Interface Module.
  4. When connected to the customer’s PC or laptop, data can be displayed, logged, and recorded using the INF-USB3 supplied software.
