Abstract :
The pantographs producer needs to perform the lifetime test of the pantographs. This test usually takes 2 months when the test is running continuously 24 hours per day. We must design and build mechanical frame and control unit as well. It was our first experience with the lifetime test of this type. In addition, all preparation must be done during 2 weeks. The fast starting of the endurance test - it was our benefit before the rival company.
