Advanced Clamping and Control for Flexible TestingWith quick-release clamps and a user-friendly digital control panel, the Flex Durability Tester streamlines the sample preparation process. Adjustable parameters such as test speed and stroke provide flexibility for a range of test scenarios and material types, ensuring accurate and repeatable results in every cycle.
Reliability, Safety, and Compliance Built InSafety is prioritized through features like over-travel prevention, emergency stop functions, and over-current protection. Its precision brushless DC motor, digital cycle counter, and robust construction meet international flex testing standards (ISO, ASTM, DIN), making it an industry benchmark for repeatable reliability.
Versatile Applications Across Material TypesEngineered for diverse applications, the tester evaluates the flex durability of leather, fabrics, rubber, plastics, and more. With capabilities for up to 6 specimens and support for custom sizes, it offers tailored testing solutions suitable for manufacturers, exporters, and research labs.
FAQ's of Flex Durability Tester for Simulating Real-World Stresses:
Q: How does the Flex Durability Tester simulate real-world mechanical stresses?
A: The tester reproduces repeated flexing motions with adjustable speed (100-300 cycles/min) and stroke (20-120 mm), subjecting specimens to conditions that closely mimic actual use. This process reveals how materials behave and wear under continual movement, aiding in product development and quality assurance.
Q: What types of materials can be tested with this equipment?
A: You can use the Flex Durability Tester to evaluate leather, textile fabrics, rubber, plastics, and coated materials. Its versatile clamping system supports standard (70 x 45 mm) and optional custom specimen sizes, accommodating a wide range of industrial and laboratory samples.
Q: When is it appropriate to use the auto-stop and cycle preset features?
A: Auto-stop is used to halt the test automatically once a pre-set number of cycles or a test objective is reached, preventing over-testing or specimen damage. This is especially useful when adhering to specific testing protocols or industry standards that define test lengths.
Q: Where can the Flex Durability Tester be installed and operated safely?
A: This bench-top machine is designed for laboratories and industrial settings free from corrosive gases, strong vibrations, and electromagnetic interference. Ensure operating conditions are within 10-40C and 10%-85% RH humidity, with a stable AC 220V, 50Hz power supply.
Q: What steps are involved in setting up and running a flex test?
A: First, prepare and mount up to six specimens using the quick-release clamps. Select the desired test parameters via the digital control panel-speed, stroke, and cycle count. Initiate testing and monitor progress on the LCD display, utilizing features like emergency stop and digital cycle counter for safety and precision.
Q: How does onsite or remote technical support benefit users?
A: Professional technical support ensures users can quickly resolve operational questions or troubleshoot issues, minimizing downtime. Whether remotely or onsite, this service aids with calibration, maintenance, software updates, and training, maximizing the machine's performance and lifespan.
