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 placed on the cable in the Customer’s application. The cable can be subject to bending motion through trolleys that run at high acceleration on precision guides, driven by cogged belts. It is possible to test up to 4 chains simultaneously with the same products, with a pulling capacity up to 3000 N
The test parameters (traversing distance, acceleration time, maximum speed and number of cycles) are adjustable and settable by means of a touchscreen panel. Through the test routine, the cables are checked by an exterior measuring system: in the event of cable break, the corresponding counter stops and the device continues to operate and test the remaining samples until their last break (this option can be modified according to the requirements).
All characteristics can be personalized according to Client wt drag chain requests.
