Waving Test Bench for Model Wheelchairs

June 2001, Koichi Hirata, Hiroaki Sakakibara and Yasuhiro Makita



June 2, 2001
We considered the structure of the waving test bench. At the first, we had considered to use electric actuators. Finaly, we decide to develop a classic type bench with a pendulum.

We considered the detailed structure. The size of the test bench has about 2 m of square.
June 13, 2001
The test bench almost has been completed. We will set a table (a veneer board) and a graduator. The size of the tentative table shown in the photograph is 1.2 m x 1.2 m.

We set a fence on the tentative table. It has a circular passage with about 250 mm width. We tried to run a simple model wheelchair on the table.
