Flex Tester with Integrated Freezer

1. Function and Application

The Flex Tester with Integrated Freezer is designed to evaluate the flexural fatigue resistance of leather, vinyl, composites, surface finishes, and other materials under cold conditions. It combines cold chamber conditioning with flexural testing, allowing materials to be tested at low temperatures to simulate real-world extreme environments.

This system is suitable for automotive, footwear, upholstery, and materials research applications where cold performance and stiffness under low temperatures are critical.

2. Applicable Test Standards

Designed to perform cold flexural fatigue testing as required by Bally Flex, Cold Pinch Fold, and Flex Cold Capable Testers.

Supports cold test protocols for leather, vinyl, and composites, following manufacturer-specific or custom material testing standards.

4. Features and Advantages

Integrated Cold Conditioning: Ensures accurate low-temperature testing without separate cold chamber setup.

Automated Testing: Soak time, temperature, and cycle count are programmable; test starts automatically after soak.

Remote Operation: External push-button pendant controls lift safely outside the freezer.

Versatile Operation: Selector switch allows switching between cold and ambient testing modes.

Safety Interlocks: Prevents accidents by stopping the test when the lid is opened.

Uniform Temperature: Internal fans circulate air to minimize cold spots for consistent results.

Flexibility: Compatible with multiple cold-capable flex testers, offering modular integration.

Reliable Design: Heavy-duty steel tubular base and integrated controls ensure durability and long service life.
