Question Pneumatic Test Stand

Our team is looking to set up a pneumatic "test stand".

Objectives:
- Gain familiarity with pneumatic components and function
- Rapidly lash up pneumatic gizmos and test them out (grippers, lifters, etc.)
- Measure performance and validate model/analysis, confirm margin
- Optimize and validate designs BEFORE adopting for the robot design

We need to have some capability to measure pressure, force, position, etc. We will also need some data logging/analysis capability.

Has anyone done something like this that they could share?

Is anyone interested in collaborating on this project?
