The Structures Platform (Product Code: SLE/EG/01) is the common base on which the optional Structures experiment modules are assembled and tested. Built from precision slotted aluminium extrusions with steel end plates, it gives a rigid, stable frame for beam, frame, bridge and truss experiments, and its built-in USB interface hub carries sensor signals from each module to a computer. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for strength of materials and structural analysis laboratories that need engineering educational equipment in India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Experiment platform for Structures modules (modules available separately) |
| Construction | Precision slotted aluminium extrusions with steel end plates; sturdy, rigid and stable |
| Levelling | Adjustable feet to level the platform before use |
| Positioning scales | Easy-to-read scales on each side, removing the need for a separate rule |
| Data interface | Plug-and-play USB interface hub included |
| Hub function | Converts signals from the sensors on each module to USB data for computer display and data acquisition |
| Ergonomics | Compact size and low centre of gravity; usable at a comfortable height sitting or standing |
A department usually buys the platform once and then adds modules as its syllabus grows: beams one term, frames or bridges the next. Before each practical, students level the platform with the adjustable feet, clamp the module's supports into the slotted extrusions and use the side scales to set spans and load positions accurately. Sensors on the module are plugged into the USB hub, so readings can be displayed and logged on a computer instead of being copied by hand, which frees lab time for discussion of the results.
Because the frame is compact and sits low, a small group can gather round it at a bench, and it is equally practical for instructor demonstrations. Keeping the extrusion slots clean and the feet correctly adjusted helps modules seat squarely every time. For TVET centres, polytechnics and university civil and mechanical departments, it offers a single, consistent base for a wide set of structures experiments.
ScienceLab platforms and modules are produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a manufacturer located in Ambala, Haryana. To find out more about our background and product lines, visit the company profile.
Experiment modules in this range that connect to the platform's USB hub:
All modules are listed in our General Products category of engineering lab equipment.
Are any experiment modules included with the platform?
No. The platform supports the optional Structures modules, which are available separately, so you can choose the experiments you need.
What does the USB interface hub do?
It converts the sensor signals from each module into USB data, so results can be shown and recorded on a computer.
Is data acquisition software or a computer supplied?
Our current description does not list software or a computer with the platform. Please contact us to confirm what your supply will include.
Do I need a separate ruler to position parts?
No. Scales along each side of the platform are used to position supports and loads precisely.
What are the overall dimensions?
Dimensions are not stated in our current product text; ask us for the datasheet if you are planning bench space.
How is the warranty handled?
The warranty period is set out in each quotation. Any request for calibration documents for connected sensors should be discussed with us before ordering.
Can a platform and several modules be quoted together?
Yes. List the modules and quantities you want and we will quote the full set for delivery in India or international markets.
Plan your structures lab by adding the platform and chosen modules to the enquiry cart, or send your list directly through our contact page.
