Package Compression Test Bench

Generate a 3D model of a Package Compression Test Bench in a vertical configuration (gantry or H-frame structure), designed under the guidelines of ISO 12048 and ASTM D642 standards. Use millimeters (mm) as the primary unit. 1. Main Frame Structure: • Bottom Base Plate: Create a horizontal rectangular prism: 450 mm wide (X), 450 mm deep (Y), and 25 mm thick (Z). • Vertical Columns: Create two vertical rectangular prisms with a 40 mm x 40 mm cross-section and 700 mm height (Z). Position them symmetrically on top of the Base Plate. The left column is located at X = -175 mm, Y = 0 mm. The right column is located at X = 175 mm, Y = 0 mm. Both profiles must be strictly perpendicular to the base. • Top Fixed Crossbeam: Create a horizontal rectangular prism: 40 mm (Y) x 40 mm (Z) x 390 mm length (X). Place it at the top of the frame, joining the upper ends of both columns at a height of Z = 675 mm. At the exact center (X=0, Y=0), create a vertical cylindrical through-hole with a 16 mm diameter. 2. Load and Instrumentation System: • Central Threaded Spindle/Lead Screw: Create a vertical cylinder: 16 mm diameter and 450 mm length. It must be coaxially aligned on the vertical axis (X=0, Y=0) and pass through the hole of the Top Crossbeam. • Actuating Handwheel: Create a flat cylinder (disc): 150 mm diameter and 15 mm thickness at the upper end of the spindle (Z = 650 mm), parallel to the X-Y plane. • S-Type Load Cell: Model a representative cubic prism of 50 mm x 50 mm x 75 mm, concentrically coupled to the bottom end of the spindle (X=0, Y=0). 3. Compression Platens (Testing Area): • Fixed Bottom Platen: Create a flat square prism: 300 mm (X) x 300 mm (Y) x 10 mm (Z). Center it perfectly on the upper surface of the Bottom Base Plate (X=0, Y=0). • Moving Top Platen (Swivel/Fixed option): Create an identical flat square prism: 300 mm (X) x 300 mm (Y) x 10 mm (Z). Place it directly beneath the Load Cell. Connect its top center (X=0, Y=0) to the bottom end of the load cell using a spherical/ball joint that allows a free tilt of up to 5 degrees (to fulfill the ASTM D642 swiveling platen requirement). 4. Test Specimen (Cardboard Box): • Model a representative rectangular prism in the testing space (central clearance), centered on the Bottom Platen to simulate the chocolate box packaging. Dimensions: 250 mm long (X), 120 mm wide (Y), and 50 mm high (Z). The Moving Top Platen should rest exactly on the top face of this prism at an approximate height of Z = 60 mm.
