Custom Test Equipment — Quality Control & Product Analysis
Purpose-built test systems that deliver repeatable, traceable data—so you can verify performance, improve quality,
and make confident decisions in manufacturing and product development.
Based in Harrison, Arkansas, Frogmouth Automation supports manufacturers across Northwest Arkansas and beyond.
Automated test fixtures • Measurement & data logging •
Vision inspection • Endurance & reliability testing
Why Custom Test Equipment
Off-the-shelf instruments and manual checks often don’t match real production needs—especially when throughput,
tolerances, or traceability matter. Custom test systems close that gap with purpose-built fixtures, sensing, and
automated workflows.
Benefits include:
- Repeatability — consistent results independent of operator
- Speed — reduced test time and higher throughput
- Traceability — logged results for quality records and audits
- Product insight — measure what generic tools can’t capture well
We build test equipment as cohesive production tools—mechanical, controls, and data collection engineered together.
Types of Systems We Build
From simple fixtures to automated stations with full data capture—built to match your product, tolerances, and throughput.
Automated Test Fixtures
Repeatable functional validation tailored to your product.
- End-of-line testing fixtures
- Electrical functional testing
- Leak / pressure testing
- Torque verification
Measurement & Analysis Systems
Sensor-driven measurement with usable reporting.
- Force / torque measurement
- Dimensional verification
- Calibration stations
- Vibration / motion analysis
Endurance & Reliability Testing
Simulate real-world usage to validate lifetime performance.
- Life-cycle testing
- Wear testing
- Load cycling
- Environmental exposure (as required)
Vision & Inspection Systems
Automated inspection using cameras and sensors for consistent verification and error-proofing.
- Orientation detection
- Surface / feature inspection
- Assembly verification
- Barcode / marking verification
Our Approach
Test equipment succeeds when requirements, mechanics, sensing, controls, and data are defined together.
Our process is practical and production-oriented:
- Define test requirements — what to measure, limits, cycle time, pass/fail criteria
- Design the system — fixturing, sensors, controls, safety, operator workflow
- Build & integrate — fabrication, wiring, software, integration
- Validate with real data — repeatability checks, documentation, tuning
The goal is a reliable production tool that produces confident decisions—not a fragile lab setup.
Technologies & Capabilities

Example Applications
Leak Testing Equipment
Test aluminum die castings, plastic molded parts and custom machined products for leakage at variable pressures and pass or fail depending on the outcome.
Automated Bearing Performance Test
Measures torque and temperature under controlled load while logging performance over time for validation and comparison.
Production Functional Test Station
Guided operator workflow with pass/fail criteria, part identification, and traceable data capture for each unit.
Visual Orientation and Validation
The use of vision systems to check for orientation and then built a system to re-orient the incorrect parts and integrated this into an existing robot line
