• Our unique new test bench allows up to six simultaneous tests, each of which can be performed under different conditions, including adjustable force and amplitude.
  • Our mechanical fatigue tests are fully accredited.
  • Our lab has over 5 years of experience with mechanical fatigue testing for numerous references worldwide.

  • The sample dropper wire is embedded in copper fixing sleeves or clamped in specific devices in a test bench;
  • Weight is added to the test bench;
  • Each cycle consists of an alternate compression and load cycle. The dropper cable is subjected to sinusoidal oscillations with a specific amplitude, so that it bends at the extremities, subsequently lifting a weight over a short distance;
  • A successful test can be concluded when no breaking of constituent wires of the tested dropper wire sample occurs before completing 2 million cycles;
  • A full report is prepared including test object data, test description, set-up, procedure results and conclusions.
