Abstract:
An apparatus for testing the ability of a material or component to deflect comprises a table on which a component or workpiece made of the material is mounted. The workpiece is mounted using a suitable holding and supportive device. The supportive device includes a fulcrum on which the workpiece is partially supported. A loading device is used to apply a load to the workpiece. A computer or PLC in operable communication with the loading device is used to operate the apparatus and assess the ability of the material of the workpiece to deflect. A process used to assess the testing of a material comprises the steps of deflecting a workpiece of the material and measuring at least one of a force used to deflect the workpiece and a distance the workpiece is deflected.
