Flex Test Machine

The Flex Test Machine determines the flexibility of any type of cable (electrical and fibre optic).

The capacity of the cables to be inspected is tested by flexion.
During the test process the cables are subject to an external measurement procedure.
If a failure occurs, the system records the time and position without stopping the machine. (This option can be altered according to the requirements).
On completion of the test cycle, a test log listing all failures occured can be exported.
The failure log in the display can register up to 100 events at a time, up to 50,000 events can be stored internally.
All adjustments are carried out using the touch screen in the control panel.
The system was realized utilizing a digital servo drive, a brushless servo motor with planetary gearbox, as well as an industrial PC with customer-specific software.

This machine can test 6 cables simultaneously!
