Footwear & Leather Testing Equipment

Flexometer

Flexometer is used for the assessment of the flexing endurance of light leathers and their surface finishes. The ability of light leathers such as those used in shoe uppers, gloves, and garments to withstand repeated flexing without cracking can be accurately determined. The equipment can carry out 12 flex cycles per test at the same time. It is equipped with a test counter and electric frequency changer.

The test specimen is held between a pair of stationary and oscillating grips. This model has unlimited regulator speed settings and adjustable test frequency. Tests can be done with this device up to -20 °C.
