Customised engineering example
Our client needed to test a number of small, lightweight springs under compression. To avoid buckling and sideways movement of the springs, a supporting spindle or guide-rod was required.
Mecmesin designed and supplied compression probes with guide-rods to the exact dimensions of the springs being tested. When used with our software-controlled MultiTest stands they enable rapid insertion of springs and highly repeatable testing.
