 Modular Design. Each Vertical Frame supports 5 motor / brake assemblies. Expansion easily accomplished by adding 1 or more vertical frame assemblies.In this view, 5 Hysterisis Brakes w/ belt tensioners, inertial dampeners and drive pullies.  Easy Calibration. Each Motor / Brake / Tensioner assembly simulates a printer functions. Motor Torque, accelerations, speed, travel, inertia, drag, and lateral tension are achieved via fixture design and calibrations. In this view, 1 Hysterisis Brakes w/inertial dampeners and drive pully shown on right. Motor (Test Unit) with drive pulley and belt tensioner on left. |

 Networking, Programming and Data colletion Each drive cycles produces motor diagnostics data, which is collected, downloaded into my network folder. My Excel spreadsheet excutes a macro that crunches the motor diagnostics and produces a performance spreadsheet.(see sidebar for spreadsheet) |
