The drag chain test made with our equipment certifies the cable capability of bending along the chain path
The movement patterns are run through the classic trapezoidal course profile for reflecting the strain put on the cable in the Customer’s application. The cable can be subject to bending motion through trolleys that operate at high velocity on precision guides, driven by cogged belts. It is possible to test up to 4 chains simultaneously with the same gear, with a pulling capability up to 3000 N
The test parameters (traversing distance, acceleration time, optimum speed and number of cycles) are adjustable and settable by means of a touchscreen panel. During the test routine, the cables are wt drag chain checked by an external 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 final break (this program can be modified according to the requirements).
All characteristics could be personalized according to Customer requests.
