The above three photos show the design progression of a pneumatic bottle testing machine. This was designed as part of my work with the CamelBak R&D team. The purpose of this machine was to standardize drop testing of water bottle designs. The machine allows users to consistently drop bottles at specific heights and orientations onto a ASTM standardized laminate concrete floor.
The design progression above shows a bottle fatigue machine. The purpose of the machine was to fatigue test the plastic and graphics durability of squeeze bottle designs. The system does this by translating circular motion from a fatigue tester into linear motion. With this system it is easy to life cycle test new bottle designs.
