Automated Test Equipment for Structural Analysis of Shafts

I'm seeking a freelancer to help design and build a piece of automated test equipment. This system should be able to use electric actuators and various sensors to load parts, perform structural analysis, and visualize the results. Key Requirements: - Integration of multiple sensors: The equipment needs to incorporate force sensors, displacement sensors, torque sensors, and a laser counter. The current system that needs replacing employs an overhead camera to capture curvature data, so there may be a need for a similar visual component unless a better system can be created. - Use of electric actuators: The system should utilize electric actuators for loading the part in multiple orientations (deflection and twisting). Pneumatic is also an option but would prefer all electric for maximum mobility. - Data storage: The equipment should be able to store test results in a library for future reference and comparison. - Detailed documentation to hand off to internal engineers for future upgrades and troubleshooting. - Ability to fabricate/assemble parts to create equipment. Can work with internal engineers on building custom parts as needed. Ideal Skills: - Expertise in designing automated test equipment - Proficiency in working with electric actuators - Experience with structural analysis - Skills in integrating various sensors into a system - Knowledge in creating data storage systems within test equipment. This project would be perfect for someone with a background in mechanical engineering or a related field, with a strong understanding of both hardware and software integration.
