Product Advantages

Multi-Station Efficiency: 12-station configuration enables parallel testing of leather samples, reducing batch evaluation time by up to 75%.

Automated Operation: Pre-programmed cycle counter with auto-stop function eliminates continuous monitoring, enhancing lab productivity.

Temperature Control: Optional low-temperature variants (-20°C to ambient) simulate extreme climatic conditions for protective footwear testing.

Ergonomic Design: Bench-mounted unit with tool-free sample clamping and intuitive control panel for rapid setup.

Global Compliance: Meets critical standards for automotive interiors, safety footwear, and luxury leather goods.

Surface Finish Analysis: Detects micro-cracks and coating delamination in creased areas, critical for assessing wear in dress shoes and bags.

Product Features

Flexing Mechanism: Rotary bending arm applies 180° reciprocal motion to leather samples at 100 ±5 cycles/min.

Sample Mounting: 12 independent clamps with adjustable tension screws accommodate leather strips (70×45 mm) and finished footwear uppers.

Digital Control System:

Programmable cycles (1–999.999) with pause/resume functionality.

Real-time cycle counter and failure alerts (e.g., stitch breakage, coating cracks).

Temperature Regulation:

Ambient to -20°C operation (low-temp models) with digital thermostat.

Insulated chamber minimizes condensation during cold testing.

Safety Features: Emergency stop button, over-cycle protection, and non-slip bench mount.
