Rope Fixtures

A test fixture is something used to clamp, position or hold an item, device, or piece of software when being tested, with rope fixture (or rope grip) being one of these tools. The influence of test fixtures on test results is important and is an ongoing subject of research, so it’s important to use only high-quality fixtures that don’t interfere with test results themselves. Rope fixtures, often referred to as roller grips, are credited for being self-closing and self-adjusting and don’t interfere with the test accuracy. It’s important that roller fixtures are long-lasting so that tests can be repeated again in exactly the same environment. Rope fixtures are used are used in the fields of research and development, laboratory, quality, and production, as well as field environments. They are used when testing physical devices rather than electronics or software.
