Connector Durability Life Testing
The Connector Durability Life Testing Machine is a precision-engineered testing platform designed to evaluate the mechanical endurance and connection reliability of various electrical connectors under repeated load conditions. This system supports dual independent testing, offering parallel operation on two test stations, each with a dedicated control system. This test is used for R&D laboratories, quality control departments, and production line verification where precise, repetitive connector force testing is essential.
Dual Test Stations with Independent Control
- Each test station is equipped with its own programmable control system.
- Enables two different test profiles or simultaneous testing of two workpieces under identical or different conditions.
- Maximizes throughput and reduces test cycle time in high-volume environments.
- Large intuitive touchscreen for easy configuration and real-time status monitoring.
Supports setting of:
- Number of test cycles
- Test speed (cycle frequency)
- Test force (thrust)
- Stroke or push/pull travel
- Test direction and pattern
Test Capabilities
- Longitudinal Connection Strength Test: Assesses durability and mechanical integrity in the direction of insertion.
- Transverse Connection Strength Test: Evaluates side-load resistance and lateral stress tolerance.
- Automatic 90° Axis Rotation: Pneumatic rotation system enables switching between vertical and horizontal tests without manual repositioning.
