The Fatigue Testing Machine utilizes compressed air and a pneumatic bar to repeatedly extend and bend the arm sleeve, simulating thousands of cycles to analyze fatigue progression and estimate the product's lifespan.
This rigorous testing ensures the durability and reliability of the sleeve under real-world conditions, providing valuable insights into material performance.
Additionally, the machine is designed to test the lifespan of elastic conductive threads by executing back-and-forth pulling motions, making it an essential tool for evaluating the wear and tear of critical components.
By combining innovation with meticulous testing, this setup reinforces product quality and reliability, ensuring confidence for end users.
