Development of Arduino Based Motorized Test Stand

This project develops an Arduino-based motorized test stand for precise force measurement and testing applications. The system is built around an Arduino microcontroller, which controls the movement of a CM Series Stepper Motor through the EM1 Series Stepper Drive. Force measurement is carried out using an S Beam Load Cell, providing real-time force feedback, while a Digital Force Gauge enhances measurement accuracy. An LCD display is used to present the collected data, ensuring easy monitoring for users. The system is programmed and integrated using the Arduino IDE, enabling precise motor control and force readings. This setup allows for automation and high repeatability in mechanical testing, making it suitable for material characterization and force analysis in both research and industrial applications. The proposed test stand offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for automated force measurement.
