Delivering Full-Cycle Innovation From Design to Commissioning
Large-scale heavy-duty structural testing frame installation by QuakeLogic.
Another Milestone in Structural Engineering Excellence! QuakeLogic is thrilled to announce the successful completion and installation of a custom, large-scale heavy-duty structural testing frame at Florida Polytechnic University. After four days of intensive, hands-on work by the QuakeLogic team on-site in Florida, this turnkey solution is now ready to empower students and researchers with cutting-edge testing capabilities.
The Challenge: High-Capacity Precision
Florida Polytechnic University required a robust and versatile system capable of handling rigorous experimental configurations. Specifically, the goal was to provide a facility where theoretical designs meet real-world stress testing, requiring a frame that offers both massive load capacity and precision control.
The QuakeLogic Solution: High-Performance Structural Testing Frame
From initial proposal to the final bolt torqued, QuakeLogic delivered a fully integrated structural testing ecosystem. In addition, the key components include:
- Heavy-Duty Loading Frame: A massive 8 x 15 x 12 ft (W x L x H) steel structure, custom-designed and fabricated for maximum durability.
- High-Performance Actuators: The system features both 30 Kips and 20 Kips Electro-Mechanical Actuators, featuring high-performance servo motors and durable roller screw technology for dynamic load testing.
- Precision Motion Control: Powered by the CONTROLBOX-4P Motion Controller, providing 4-axis closed-loop PID control and 16-bit force feedback for unmatched accuracy.
- EasyTest Control Software: A seamless interface for position and force control, allowing for complex sine, profile, and point-to-point motion profiles.
- Integrated Lifting System: An Electrical Chain Hoist System with a 2,000 lb capacity to assist in specimen positioning and lab safety.
On-Site Dedication
This project wasn’t just about delivery; it was about execution. Furthermore, our team spent four days on the ground in Florida, managing the rigging, installation, alignment, and commissioning of the actuators and frame to ensure the system met our strict warranty and performance standards.
“Today marks the completion of our installation of this large-scale heavy-duty structural testing frame. Four days of hard work by team QuakeLogic at Florida!”
