Flexible Cord Flexing Endurance Test Machine for Appliance Cables

Reciprocating flexing machine that bends loaded flexible cords over a set angle for thousands of cycles while monitoring conductor continuity. Used by appliance cord, extension lead and cable makers.

Specification

Each cord is hung with a weight over a swinging arm and flexed through 90 degrees while a small current is passed through the cores. A cycle counter stops the station when a conductor breaks or an insulation short appears, giving the life of the cord.

Features

• Four independent test stations with continuity monitoring
• Swinging arm flex angle adjustable to 90 degrees
• Dead weights from 0.5 to 2 kg per station
• Preset cycle counter with auto stop on core break
• Heavy bench frame with guarded moving parts
