Overview​​
The VELCROFATIGUE-250 automates the cyclic testing of hook-and-loop fasteners (Velcro, industrial straps) under tension, shear, and torsional stresses. Designed for footwear, outdoor gear, and industrial equipment manufacturers, it ensures compliance with ASTM D5160, EN 13553, and ISO 20347 standards.

​​Core Features​​

1. ​​Dynamic Cycle Testing​​: Adjustable frequency (1–5 Hz) and force range (0.1–20 N) to simulate repetitive stress in belts, shoes, and machinery.
2. ​​Detachment Detection​​: Optical sensors flag bond failure, while load cells measure elongation (±0.1 mm).
3. ​​Multi-Fixture Support​​: Adaptable clamps for belts, shoes, and industrial straps. Optional sandblasting chambers simulate abrasive environments.
4. ​​Environmental Control​​: Temperature (5–80°C) and humidity (10–95% RH) modules replicate desert, Arctic, or humid conditions.
5. ​​Compliance Automation​​: Preloaded test protocols generate pass/fail reports with traceable data for certifications.

​​Applications​​

• ​​Footwear​​: Test shoe closure systems and sandal straps.
• ​​Industrial​​: Evaluate lifting straps, safety harnesses, and machinery fasteners.
• ​​Outdoor Gear​​: Certify backpacks, tents, and camping equipment.

​​Optional Add-Ons​​

• High-load actuators (up to 1,000 N) for heavy-duty applications.
• Multi-axis testers for 3D stress simulations.
• Customizable grip designs for irregularly shaped fasteners.

​​Conclusion​​
The VELCROFATIGUE-250 delivers precision and flexibility in testing hook-and-loop fasteners, enabling manufacturers to innovate durable, high-performance products. By accelerating wear cycles and delivering granular data, it ensures compliance with global standards while reducing time-to-market.
