METHOD OF DESIGNING, MANUFACTURING AND STANDARDIZING CUSTOM-BUILT CHECK STANDS OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND CONFIGURATIONS

摘要

A new method for designing and manufacturing custom-built check stands is provided which involves producing a large database of drawings of modules and component kits for producing check stands. Drawings are selected from this database for producing check stands in response to an order for a custom-built check stand. The drawings can be subsequently modified to eliminate unneeded features or to add needed features on repeat orders of the check stands in order to produce a standardized check stand for these repeat orders.
