Metal Wire Repeated Bending Tester
Category：Static & Dynamic Load
Introduction
The Metal Wire Repeated Bending Tester is designed to evaluate the bending fatigue performance of metal wires under repeated stress. It measures the wire’s ductility and identifies potential surface or internal defects that may lead to premature failure. By applying controlled bending cycles, the tester provides quantitative results for wire performance assessment, quality control, and material research. It is widely used in wire manufacturing, R&D, and quality inspection departments.
