Vacuum Cleaner Simulated Walking Life Tester

The Vacuum Cleaner Simulated Walking Life Tester is designed for long-term life-cycle aging and durability testing of vacuum cleaners on different floor surfaces. You use this system to simulate extended walking conditions by allowing the vacuum cleaner to perform linear reciprocating motion over configurable test flooring. With PLC control and a servo-driven transmission mechanism, the tester delivers stable, repeatable movement at preset speeds and cycles, enabling reliable evaluation of product durability under realistic operating conditions.
