The drag chain test made with our equipment certifies the cable capability of bending along the chain path
The movement patterns are tell you the classic trapezoidal course profile for reflecting the stress put on the cable in the Customer’s application. The cable is subject to bending motion through trolleys that operate at high acceleration on precision guides, driven by cogged belts. You’ll be able to check up to 4 chains at the same time with the same devices, with a pulling capacity up to 3000 N
The test parameters (traversing distance, acceleration time, optimum speed and number of cycles) are adjustable and settable through a touchscreen panel. During the test cycle, the cables are checked by an exterior measuring system: in case of cable break, the corresponding counter stops and the machine continues to use and test the remaining samples until their last break (this program can be modified based on the requirements).
All characteristics could be wt drag chain personalized according to Consumer requests.
