Understanding the test requirements is critical to developing high quality fixtures.  The fixture must not interfere with the test article or adversely influence the test results, while withstanding the conditions of the test.  Some of the critical test parameters relative to fixtures include:

Ø  Purpose of the test

Ø  Test type/parameters

Ø  Test article (mounting configuration/limitations, usage, constraints)

Ø  Other limitations (size, weight, fixture mounting hole patterns, etc.)

Fixtures developed by the engineers at MGA are based on years of testing experience.  This experience assures that the fixture will meet the mounting requirements and that the test results obtained are not influenced by the fixture.
