Flexible fatigue testing of seat foams in accordance to DIN 53574 / ISO 3385 with NI DIAdem and TwinCAT

Testing the durability of seat foams for motor vehicles means measuring the hardness several times, conditioning the foam, carrying out a cyclic fatigue load (the so-called fatigue test) with precisely defined parameters, recording the results of all steps and finally evaluating them. This usually requires several expensive and highly specialized devices, various software and a great deal of analysis work. With the seat foam test bench from müller+krahmer, one system does everything and delivers the final results – not least thanks to the perfect combination of NI DIAdem and Beckhoff TwinCAT. TwinCAT handles real-time control and data storage at high frequency over any period of time. NI DIAdem analyzes this data and at the same time provides the user interface. A perfect combination easy to handle for the user.
