The assembly bench provides space for the hand assembly of the unit, and features storage bins for all the necessary components and for completed product post-test. The test fixture checks that all the necessary parts are in place and then performs a functional test whereby the assembly is opened and closed, checking that the unit operates in a satisfactory manner.
