Summary:

The Purpose of Push Pull Test to confirm that normal stresses applied to cables is not transmitted to the internal electrical connections. If stresses are applied to the electrical connections, they could become detached leading to a fault condition that results in a shock or fire hazard. Stability Automation has developed low cost SCADA solution with LabVIEW for Data Logging, Audit Trials, and Reporting to monitor the Push Pull Test machine.

Solution:

The objective of these tests is to verify that any electrical cable remains reliably and securely attached to the product.

The tests require that the product be securely positioned and held in place so that the forces applied to the cable are focused on the Cable strain relief mechanism which is equal to the product should not move when the forces are applied.

The goal of course is to test the strain relief method.

Pull Force Test: The most common testis the pull force test. It involves pulling on the cable with a specified force for a specified duration of time.

Push-Back Test: When a product has an internal strain relief device, cable push-back can be a problem. The standard prohibits being able to push the cable and/or its leads back into the enclosure where they can reduce electrical spacings, contact higher voltage parts, contact parts that are hot, or become entangled in mechanical components.

LabVIEW based SCADA Application software is developed for Equipment Manufacturer to Monitor Online Process and Capture Machine data. This will give complete picture of process and help to improve product quality. Graphs will help the User to underastand how much stress can a electrical cable take. Different Cables have differnet strength. Reporting Tool provide complete result to customer to validation and acceptance of the product.
