IEC 62196-1 Non-Rewireable Accessories Flexing Test Apparatus For
Vehicle Plugs Test
Product Overview:
The Non-Rewireable Accessories Mechanical Strength Flexing Testing
Apparatus is specially designed according to IEC 62196-1:2022
clause 26.4 table 14 and IEC 60309-1:2012 clause 24.4 figure 9.
It is used for conducting mechanical load flexing tests on vehicle
plugs, socket-outlets, and couplers for non-rewireable accessories.
Equipped with PLC intelligent control, a 7-inch color HMI, and a
high-precision servo motor, the system ensures accurate angle
control, stable flexing frequency, and fully automated testing.
The operator can preset the flexing angle, flexing speed, and test
cycles directly from the touch screen. The machine automatically
runs the test and stops when reaching the preset cycle count.
The apparatus includes built-in load power, allowing adjustable
phase voltage and current during testing. Modular fixtures, digital
display, frequency conversion control, and high-precision speed
adjustment make it ideal for professional laboratories and
certification centers.
Features:
✔ Fully compliant with IEC 62196-1 & IEC 60309-1 test standards
