Project Statement
Cooper Crouse-Hinds Industries is a leader in the
manufacturing of luminaires, an encased lighting
system, for hazardous locations. These luminaires
are placed in environments in which they are
subject to harsh vibrational disturbances.
Luminaires must meet the testing standards set in
UL 844, which include vibration RPM and
displacement, apparatus setup, and test duration.
The company is currently using an outdated testing
apparatus that must be set up using trial and error
and then provides no feedback to the user. This
project is a continuation of P13471
which started the process and has already built the
eccentric drive mechanism. This phase of the
project added the frame, motor, control and
feedback system, safety features, and setup
improvements.
