Cables must endure continuous flexing and extreme conditions in demanding industrial environments such as mining, automation, robotics, and shipyard/marine. Any failures can result in costly downtime, equipment malfunctions, and safety risks. That’s why manufacturers and industrial professionals rely on advanced testing equipment—like Tick Tock Cable Testers—to verify durability and performance.
What Are Tick Tock Cable Testers?
This equipment is designed to evaluate a cable’s ability to withstand repeated bending, flexing, and mechanical stress. It simulates real-world conditions to ensure cables meet the highest durability and performance standards.
How Does the Tick Tock Cable Tester Work?
Tick Tock Cable Testers use precision-controlled mechanisms to conduct the test. Machine features include:
- Automatic Bending Arm: These arms apply controlled, repetitive radial bending motions to the cable, simulating real-world stress conditions, bending from 0 to 90 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise.
- Cycle Tracking: Sensors monitor each cycle, recording performance data to determine how long a cable can withstand repeated flexing before failure.
- High-Speed Testing Capabilities: The tester can perform thousands of flex cycles in a short period, accelerating durability assessments and ensuring rapid product validation.
