Material Testing Machine Instruction Storage for Error Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing material testing machines require operators to refer to generated operation procedure manuals, leading to increased labor and a risk of erroneous operations.
Innovation Solution
A material testing machine and control device that include an instruction reception unit to receive user operations and an instruction storage unit to store and execute operation instructions, reducing operator labor and minimizing errors by automating the testing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the machine automatically generates an operation procedure manual, then the operation record is preserved, but the operator still needs to manually follow the manual which increases labor and risk of error
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service operation by storing operation instructions in advance and automatically executing them according to the stored sequence, allowing the machine to guide and perform operations autonomously without requiring the operator to manually follow a generated manual
Solution Approach 2:
Operation instructions are stored in advance before actual execution, creating a pre-defined operation sequence that the system automatically follows during material testing, eliminating the need for real-time manual decision-making
2Productivity
If the operator manually follows the generated operation procedure manual, then the testing process can be completed, but the risk of erroneous operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback by displaying the stored operation instructions to the operator during execution, ensuring that the machine operates according to the pre-defined correct sequence and allowing the operator to verify each step, thereby reducing erroneous operations
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the correct operation sequence in the form of stored instruction data, which is then automatically reproduced during each testing operation, ensuring consistency and accuracy without relying on manual interpretation

AI summary
A tensile testing machine includes: a testing machine body that executes a tensile test; an instruction reception unit that receives an operation instruction for the testing machine body on the basis of an operation from a user; and an instruction storage unit that stores contents and an order of instruction information indicating the operation instruction, which is received by the instruction reception unit, for the testing machine body.
