Wire Pull Test Stand Project – Part 1 of 2

I’m working on building a test setup to evaluate the wire pull strength of crimp terminals. It turned into a bigger project than I anticipated. In part 1 I’m building the main stand, force gauge holding, and moving mechanism. In part 2 I will be working on the wire holding and testing the entire build.
