Project challenge: Increase productionA local lawn mower manufacturer needed to verify the performance of motors imported from China after receiving a substandard batch that overheated.
JAD was seconded to build a lawn mower test bed to be used in a semi-production environment for quick verification of the quality of the motors. |
HOW DO WE VERIFY PRODUCT QUALITY?

JAD solution

JAD Systems built a lawn mower test bed that had an eddy current retarder on it to simulate the load transients of typical application. The loading profiles were created as Script programs within our X-Tract software environment.
During the load simulation we accurately measured electrical supply as well as temperatures of the lawn mower enabling us to determine substandard motor components. Equipment used included Beckhoff PLC, JAD X-Tract software and a Klam 10PAU retarder. "This test bed has ensured the quality of the mower that we supply - it's robust and quick to use to verify the standard of our imports" - Customer comment |
