Machine for determining the fatigue strength of samples with different patterns (so-called "living hinge", which makes sample exert flexibility) produced using a laser machine.
Hardware:
- Amperka Iskra Neo (Leonardo);
- Amperka Motor Shield;
- Amperka Troyka Shield;
- Hall sensor (involved into counting cycles);
- Amperka Quad Display.
Features:
- autamatic cycle counting;
- automatic stop (altough with delay).
Grasshopper definition was designed to make it easier to create different patterns:
The process of generating new samples:
If you wait long enough it breaks (either sample or machine):
