Overview​​
The ZIPFATIGUE-500 automates the testing of zippers (metal, plastic, nylon) under repeated opening/closing cycles to assess fatigue resistance, alignment stability, and structural integrity. Designed for apparel, luggage, and accessory manufacturers, it ensures compliance with ASTM D2061, EN 13553, and JIS L1079 standards while reducing testing time by up to 70%.

​​Core Features​​

1. ​​High-Cycle Testing​​: Supports up to 5 million cycles at speeds of 1–10 cycles/sec. Adjustable stroke length (10–50 mm) accommodates diverse zipper sizes.
2. ​​Precision Force Measurement​​: Dual load cells (±0.2% accuracy) detect jamming, misalignment, or teeth breakage. Real-time graphs display force distribution during operation.
3. ​​Integrated Vision System​​: High-resolution cameras track slider movement and flag misalignments or fabric abrasion.
4. ​​Environmental Control​​: Optional chambers simulate extreme temperatures (-20–80°C) and humidity (10–95% RH) for accelerated aging tests.
5. ​​Data-Driven Insights​​: AI algorithms predict remaining lifespan and identify failure modes (e.g., metal fatigue vs. thread wear).

​​Applications​​

• ​​Fashion​​: Certify zippers on jackets, jeans, and handbags for durability.
• ​​Luggage & Bags​​: Test industrial zippers for suitcases and backpacks.
• ​​Medical​​: Validate hermetic zippers on protective gear.

​​Optional Add-Ons​​

• High-load actuators (up to 500 N) for heavy-duty zippers.
• Multi-axis testers for 3D movement simulations.
• Compliance report generators with ISO/ASTM templates.

​​Conclusion​​
The ZIPFATIGUE-500 redefines zipper testing by combining high-speed automation with intelligent analytics. Manufacturers gain critical insights to enhance product reliability, reduce warranty claims, and meet global durability benchmarks.
