Multi-Station Wear Tester

Challenge: Design and fabricate a tribometer with multiple stations for simultaneous testing of material friction and lubricants.
Design: "Big Mack' can test four individual "stacks" of materials with up to 250N of force for at least 48 hours. Live force readings are made by the fabricated S-type load cells on each stack.
