Overview​​
The SOLEFLEX-300 is a precision-engineered system designed to evaluate the bending fatigue resistance of shoe soles, midsoles, and insoles used in athletic, casual, and industrial footwear. This instrument simulates repeated flex cycles to predict long-term wear resistance, validate ergonomic comfort, and ensure compliance with global standards such as ASTM F1814, ISO 20347, and EN ISO 19956. Ideal for footwear manufacturers and R&D labs, it provides actionable insights to optimize material selection and structural design.

​​Core Features​​

1. ​​Adjustable Load & Cycle Parameters​​: Programmable force range (5–50 N) and cycle rates (1–10 Hz) to mimic real-world walking, running, and jumping motions.
2. ​​Real-Time Sensing & Analytics​​: High-resolution sensors measure deflection angle (±0.5°), crack propagation, and energy absorption with 99.8% accuracy. Integrated software generates stress-strain curves and fatigue life predictions.
3. ​​Multi-Material Compatibility​​: Supports rubbers, EVA foams, polyurethane, and composite soles. Customizable clamps accommodate curved or rigid geometries.
4. ​​Environmental Simulation​​: Optional temperature (5–50°C) and humidity (20–90% RH) chambers replicate tropical, arid, or sub-zero conditions.
5. ​​Compliance Automation​​: Preloaded ASTM/ISO protocols with automated pass/fail indicators reduce manual setup errors.

​​Applications​​

• ​​Footwear R&D​​: Optimize midsole cushioning in running shoes or hiking boots.
• ​​Quality Control​​: Test outsoles for work boots, dance shoes, and industrial footwear.
• ​​Academic Research​​: Study novel materials like graphene-enhanced soles or recycled foams.

​​Optional Add-Ons​​

• High-speed cameras (1,000 fps) for micro-crack detection.
• Robotic sample loaders for high-throughput testing.
• Customizable load profiles for niche applications (e.g., snowshoes, cleats).

​​Conclusion​​
The SOLEFLEX-300 bridges the gap between theoretical material science and practical footwear performance. By accelerating wear simulation and delivering precise, repeatable data, it empowers manufacturers to reduce R&D cycles, enhance product longevity, and meet stringent global standards.
