Problem

Rooms for testing sensory perceptible specifications have a problem: DIN EN ISO 8589 specifies clear requirements for furnishing and design. The prerequisite for a standardised test procedure and the achievement of usable and comparable results are test areas and rooms that are specially set up and designed for this purpose. According to the regulation, a test area, a preparation area and an office must be available. It is not always easy to fulfil these design and furnishing requirements. For example, the appropriate space must be available. To utilise this effectively, the company Moduscomplete Lda from Portugal has come up with a solution. 

Solution

Test cabins were developed for sensory evaluation in accordance with ISO 8589:2007. The cabins consist of side and rear lifting partitions that allow the test rig to be transformed into a conference table. The combination of the various cabins with the partition walls makes it possible to create a group work table. It was necessary to develop a solution that would allow the panels to be lifted over a distance of approx. 500mm and for a reasonable time. It was also important that this movement was even and continuous. Until the final solution was finalised, other alternatives with other devices were also investigated, but these did not meet the requirements. Now a uniform, continuous and simultaneous movement is made possible in the intended time interval.
