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 placed on the cable in the Customer’s application. The cable is certainly subject to bending movement through trolleys that operate at high velocity on precision guides, powered 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, optimum speed and number of cycles) are adjustable and settable through a touchscreen panel. During the test cycle, the cables are examined 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 final break (this program can be modified according to the requirements).
All characteristics could be wt drag chain personalized according to Client requests.
