The drag chain test made out of 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 usually subject to bending motion through trolleys that operate at high speed on precision guides, driven by cogged belts. It is possible to test up to 4 chains simultaneously with the same devices, 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. During the test routine, the cables are examined by an external measuring system: in case of cable break, the corresponding counter stops and the device continues to use and test the rest of the samples until their final break (this program can be modified based on the wt drag chain china requirements).
All characteristics can be personalized according to Client requests.
