Seam Fatigue Tester

is a two station bench top machine, used for evaluating fabric or leather seating materials resistance to tearing or needle hole elongation of a sewn seam.  Each station includes a pair of suitable clamps for attaching the test sample.  A set up gage is used to set the 140mm sample clamp separation for each station.  One or two stations can be tested at a time.   

The operator installs the set up gage between one pair of sample clamps on a station.  The sewn test sample is aligned and clamped into position.  The set up gage is removed and installed on the second station.  The second sample is aligned and clamped into position and the set up gage is removed.   The desired number of test cycles is entered on the cycle counter and the test is started.  Once this cycle count is reached the machine will automatically stop.  Test samples are visually evaluated.

 

Features:

• Cycle counter with automatic stop.
• A Jog switch to adjust clamp separation for sample instillation.
• Stainless steel sample clamps.
• Stainless steel set up gage used to insure 140mm sample clamp separation.
• A 1/6 H.P. motor and a variable speed KB drive.
• Supply voltage is 115 V.A.C., 60 Hz (other voltages and frequencies available).
