In the era of Industry 4.0, industrial robots and automated machinery operate at breakneck speeds. The "lifelines" of these machines—High Flexible Cables—are trapped inside drag chains (energy chains), enduring millions of bending cycles, rapid acceleration, and constant friction.
If a cable fails, the machine stops. Production halts. Costs skyrocket.
How can cable manufacturers and quality labs guarantee their products will survive these harsh conditions? The answer lies in rigorous, realistic simulation. Enter the TOPHUNG TH-5813 Cable Drag Chain Bending Testing Machine.
The TH-5813 is a high-performance testing system designed to simulate the continuous movement of cables inside an energy chain. Its primary goal is to detect two critical failure modes:
Electrical Failure: Short circuits or conductor breakages caused by metal fatigue.
Physical Failure: Cracks, wear, or breakage of the insulation sheath due to mechanical stress.
Unlike standard bending testers, the TH-5813 utilizes a horizontal double-wing combination structure, allowing it to mimic the exact U-shaped bending motion found in real-world drag chains.
For manufacturers targeting top-tier markets, compliance is non-negotiable. The TH-5813 is engineered to meet and exceed the strictest international testing requirements, including:
TUV: 2TFG 2577
UL: RP5770, UL1581
VDE: VDE-PB-0022
IEC/GB: IEC60227-2, IEC245-2, GB/T 5023.2
Here is why R&D labs and Quality Control departments are upgrading to this machine:
1. Extreme Speed & Acceleration Simulation Modern robotics are faster than ever. The TH-5813 keeps up.
Test Speed: Adjustable up to 5.0 m/s (300 m/min).
Acceleration: Capable of 0.5~20 m/s². This capability allows you to verify if your cables can withstand the G-forces of high-speed pick-and-place robots without plastic deformation.
2. Intelligent "30-Pair" Online Monitoring Testing is useless if you don't know when the failure happened. The TH-5813 features 30 pairs of monitoring interfaces. It continuously checks the resistance and connectivity of multiple cable cores simultaneously.
Auto-Stop & Alarm: If a hairline fracture occurs in the copper conductor or a short circuit happens, the machine stops instantly.
Sound & Light Alarm: The system alerts operators immediately with a detailed fault description on the touchscreen interface.
3. Precision Meets Durability At Suzhou Tophung, we believe accuracy is everything.
Accuracy Grade: Better than Level 0.5 (National Standard), using original 6-point calibration technology.
Resolution: High-precision sensors provide a resolution of up to 1/500,000.
Robust Build: The unit is housed in an integrated safety protection box with double soundproofing, ensuring a quiet and safe laboratory environment.
4. Versatility for Various Cable Types Whether you are testing thin signal wires or thick power cables, the TH-5813 adapts.
Specimen Diameter: Ф1.0mm ~ Ф30mm.
Multi-Station: Standard 4-station design (customizable) to maximize testing throughput.
Adjustable Stroke: Options ranging from 1 meter up to 25 meters for long-travel drag chain simulation.
A high flexible cable is only as good as its weakest point. Don't let that point be discovered by your customer on the factory floor.
With the TOPHUNG TH-5813, you can prove your product's durability with data that complies with TUV, VDE, and UL standards. Secure your reputation for quality today.
