A panel testing device includes a frame, a first roller assembly pivotally
mounted to the frame including a first roller and a second roller spaced
apart from and substantially parallel to the first roller. The panel
testing device also includes a second roller assembly pivotally mounted
to the frame having a third roller and a fourth roller spaced apart from
and substantially parallel to the third roller. The device is configured
such that the first and third rollers may be engaged with a first side of
a test panel and the second and fourth rollers may be engaged with a
second side of the test panel. The first and second roller assemblies are
pivoted in opposing directions to bend the panel. A LASER displacement
sensor is mounted on a movable manipulator measures the deflection of the
panel as the panel is bent.
