Test Rig Retrofit

Test Rig Retrofit

The project

  • A LabVIEW-based application for Windows PCs using a National Instruments signal interface
  • Solution adopted by a leading multinational in the food & beverage sector.

Main features

  • Controls a bottle capping test bench using crown caps for CSD (carbonated soft drink) products
  • Accurately measures the load-displacement relationship of the capping piston to develop the best geometry and the best caps for sealing, precision, cleanliness and durability

Capping Test Rig in detail

The project involved developing a LabVIEW-based system for Windows PCs, using a National Instruments signal interface. The solution was adopted by a leading multinational in the food & beverage sector.

The main features of this system include control of a test bench for capping bottles with crown caps for CSD products (carbonated soft drink). It can also accurately measure the relationship between the load and the displacement of the capping piston, in order to optimize the geometry and the caps for sealing, precision, cleanliness and durability.
