摘要

This paper proposes an accurate and efficient testing system for the safety lock that is used in the suspended access platforms. The measurement methods conform to the standard EN 1808:2015. First, the whole architecture of the system is designed, including the mechanical structure unit, lower control unit, sensors and data acquisition. Second, the upper control software based on LabVIEW is presented. In addition, manual and automatic testing modes are proposed. The field experimental results demonstrated that the proposed testing system has the advantage of high accuracy, high automation and high efficiency.
