A manufacturer of automotive panels required a high-temperature system to quantify the quality and performance of various sheet metals at elevated temperatures. Our customer used a dual column tabletop load frame and a  environmental chamber to provide the ideal functionality for applying controlled loads and temperatures. A custom set of fixtures was also required for holding the test samples. The fixture had to meet several requirements:

Ability to clamp sample from outside of chamber
Flexibility to perform multiple tests on each sample
Simple way to change indenters
