The integration of robotic systems into materials testing laboratories is increasingly recognized for its potential to enhance throughput and achieve high-precision experimental measurements. At the Volvo Cars facility, an automated 3-point bending test cell was developed to enable high-throughput material testing in accordance with the VDA 238-100 standard, ensuring consistent and accurate test execution. This project addresses key challenges encountered during system development, including automation integration, sample handling, and data management. Various design strategies and technical solutions are explored to optimize testing efficiency and measurement accuracy. Additionally, the potential for extending the system to accommodate other test types, such as tensile testing, is examined.
