 ABSTRACT

 The purpose of this project is to design and develop a Digital Spring Constant
Testing Machine that can accurately measure the spring constant of various types
of springs. The study involves systematically

 The machine will be equipped with digital sensors and a user-friendly interface to
provide precise and reliable results.

 This report outlines the design process, development stages, and the final
product.
 OBJECTIVES

 Design a robust and versatile testing machine capable of measuring the spring
constant accurately.

 Implement digital sensors and controls for increased precision and ease of
use.

 Develop a user-friendly interface for data input, control, and result

visualization.

 Ensure the machine is adaptable to test different types and sizes of springs.
INTRODUCTION
 Springs are widely used in various industries, and their performance is
characterized by the spring constant, which defines the relationship between
the force applied and the resulting displacement.

 The Digital Spring Constant Testing Machine aims to automate and enhance
the process of measuring this critical parameter.

 The main objective of this project is to determine the stiffness which is

commonly known as spring constant of a compression spring under various
load
