Newest WB extension: a dynamic fatigue testing machine to predict cable flex life

25 Mar 2021

Fatigue failure by flexing is a common failure mode for cables in a high flex environment. In order to predict it, there are various analysis tools and test procedures.

Keeping up with the latest developments, Wires&Bytes is presenting its newest addition to the Test Center — a reversing cable cycling machine, with programmable tension loads, suitable for precise bending tests. It fully complies with EN/IEC norms, but its technical possibilities exceed them!

This machine enables sophisticated lifecycle testing to customers’ exact specifications to ensure smoother and safer operations. It is now possible to cycle test and characterize for repeatable bending diverse cable types including electrical, fiber optic and mechanical slicklines and also wirelines of small sizes.

As part of Wires&Bytes extensive R&D offerings, we consider it a matter of the utmost importance to possess modern measurement and testing equipment. Thus, all our customers can be sure of top-notch quality of all our finished products.

We welcome your questions and requests to learn more about how we conduct our tests.
