A replacement that's ready
An essential piece of your workflow, to bring any gig from parts to product, without costing the environment. A reusable product allowing you to do your work without the reliance on a consumable product that ends up in the bin.
With simple installation, cables can be secured efficiently and effectively in seconds, and can be relocated and reused just as easily.
When you already know the alternative, the future has never looked so good...

Testing Regiments
| Test | Static Top Load |
|---|---|
| Aim | Ensure product can withstand regular top load across expected lifetime |
| Description | Hydraulic press applies a uniform load across the product repeatedly |
| Load (kg) | 150 |
| Repetitions | 1,000,000 |
| Justification | Product will be positioned in a location where foot traffic is likely. The product must not break due to this repeated load across its lifetime. |
| Success criteria | Product not significantly deformed after load repetitions conclude, and product is still usable |
| Test | Dynamic Top Load |
|---|---|
| Aim | Ensure product can withstand regular top load across expected lifetime |
| Description | Using a hydraulic cylinder, a rolling load is applied on the product, to simulate a person's step as their weight distributes across the product. |
| Load (kg) | 150 |
| Repetitions | 1,000,000 |
| Justification | Product will be positioned in a location where foot traffic is likely. The product must not break due to this repeated load across its lifetime. |
| Success criteria | Product not significantly deformed after load repetitions conclude, and product is still usable |
| Test | Maximum load |
|---|---|
| Aim | Ensure product can withstand a necessary load |
| Description | Weights are evenly applied to the top of the product until the total weight exceeds the necessary load. Deformation of product is ensured to be within a maximum tolerance and ensure product returns to initial state after testing. |
| Load (kg) | 150 |
| Justification | Product will be positioned in a location where foot traffic is likely. The product must not break due to force imposed when stepped on. |
| Success criteria | Product not significantly deformed after load applied, and product is still usable |
| Test | Minimum edge fillet |
|---|---|
| Aim | Ensure product's contact edges are not sharp to the touch or able to catch when slid on skin |
| Description | Product must have a minimum edge fillet around all significant edges such that it does not pose a safety hazard during use |
| Minimum fillet radius (mm) | 0.5 |
| Justification | Product is typically handled using hands, and must not pose a safety hazard |
| Success criteria | All significant edges are appropriately rounded and are not able to catch or slice upon use |
| Test | Lining friction |
|---|---|
| Aim | Ensure the foam can provide adequate friction force for holding cables in place in case of a sharp tug |
| Description | The product is mounted sideways. A maximum and minimum width cable is installed, such that they hang with gravity. The cables are loaded with weights to ensure the friction force generated by the product is passable. |
| Minimum friction force (N) | 50 |
| Justification | Product must be able to resist tugs to keep cables in place |
| Success criteria | The necessary friction force is applied to the cables without significant shifts in cable position |
