6. Operation Method & Maintenance

Operation Method

Install the foam sample according to test type (tensile, compression, or rebound).

Set test parameters including speed, stroke, and test type via computer software.

Start the test; the system automatically applies load and records real-time data.

After completion, review, process, and export the test data for analysis.

Maintenance

Inspect mechanical components and moving parts regularly for wear or loosening.

Calibrate sensors and load cells periodically to maintain measurement accuracy.

Keep the control computer and electrical components clean and dry.

Check all cables and connectors for secure attachment.

Ensure emergency stop and overload protection systems are functional before operation.

Lubricate moving parts according to the maintenance schedule.
