Airflow Test Rig: Used to measure airflow in fans

Rig
I created a rig that was needed to measure airflow in fans and ran over 800 tests to determine how efficiently air moves through the fan.
Main Objective: To use this rig to collect airflow data to meet KPI (Key Performance Indicator) and improve accuracy in measuring airflow from small fans.
It measures Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) to determine how efficiently air moves through the fan. (ft^3/min).
A thermal anemometer is used to calculate the wind velocity (rate of
cooling).
How does it work?
Phidgets are attached to the rig and read data that is transmitted via the VINT hub to the computer.
Main phidgets include the 4A steppers, which can control how many steps the motor should move
VINT Hub- It converts all of the users inputs into readable signals for the Phidgets to understand
How does it move?
The 4A stepper causes rotational motion from electrical power which turns linear via the Ball Screw.
Four wires connect the stepper motor to the 4A stepper drivers and two additional wires for ground and power in stepper.
