Test 1

This test is intended to determine that the gripping force exerted is sufficient for the use of this device. The device will be used to grip the cast part, as intended, and then lifted 4 feet from the ground. The tester will verify physically that the part is firmly grasped and will not slip out under any reasonable force.

​

Test 2

This test is intended to determine that the lift speed is sufficient. The requirement is based on the industry standard of 16 ft/min. The casting will be connected to the hoist, and then lifted a set height of 3ft. An employee will time how long it takes to reach that height and record it for the team. This will be repeated for accuracy.

 

Test 3

The purpose of this test was to verify mobility of the hoist assembly. The requirement is due to the placement of bins and workbench in the facility. An employee will move the hoist to each extreme position and measure the distances between them to verify the hoist has appropriate reach to be successful. This is a qualitative test, as it will either reach the required distance or not.

​

All tests were successful and no modifications were needed to be made in order to meet the project requirements on the project.
