Ross Cut Growth Flex Fatigue Tester (KR-607)

ASTM D1052 Leather Shoes Ross Flexing Fatigue Test Machine

This tester is designed according to GB, BS, and ASTM standards. It can test 12 specimens at the same time and can be used for intermittent (observed once every 1000 times) or continuous testing. It is suitable for testing the flexing resistance of shoe soles, leather, synthetic leather, rubber, plastic, and thermoplastic elastomer.

Product Brief

The KR-607 Ross flex fatigue tester is a professional lab instrument built to global footwear and elastomer testing standards. It simulates long-term repeated bending stress that shoe soles, leather and rubber goods endure during daily use, quantifying material anti-crack and cut-growth performance through continuous 90° reciprocating flex cycles.

This machine supports simultaneous loading of up to 12 test strips, enabling batch comparative testing for raw material incoming inspection, new formula R&D and finished product durability verification. Two control configurations – touchscreen digital version and physical button version – are offered to match different lab operation preferences.

Core Machine Advantages

  1. Dual Optional Control Interfaces

    Customers can freely select touch HMI or physical button operation modes. The color touch panel features intuitive parameter input, real-time cycle display and one-click start/stop; the button panel delivers stable, cost-effective basic counting functions for simple test scenarios. Both versions support jog manual positioning for quick specimen alignment.

  1. Fully Adjustable Flex Speed & Auto Cycle Stop

    Flex frequency ranges from 0–100 cycles per minute with stepless speed regulation via precision rotary knob. Users preset target test counts on the panel; the unit automatically halts once cycles reach the set value, eliminating manual timing supervision for long-duration fatigue tests.

  1. Anti-Corrosion All-Metal Clamping Assembly

    All fixture frames, pressing wheels and guide components are manufactured from aviation aluminum and stainless steel with anti-rust treatment. Upper-lower dual pressing wheel design locks specimens firmly without slipping during thousands of flex cycles, guaranteeing consistent bending angle at every stroke (90°±2°).

  1. Low-Vibration Precision Drive System

    Adopted high-torque silent servo motor matched with optimized crank linkage transmission. The whole machine runs smoothly with minimal noise even under full 12-piece load. Four height-adjustable rubber foot pads balance the equipment on uneven countertops and absorb operating vibration.

  1. Robust Baked Paint Cabinet

    Thick cold-rolled steel cabinet with high-temperature electrostatic baking finish, scratch and chemical resistant. Compact overall layout occupies limited lab bench space while simplifying daily surface cleaning and maintenance.

Standard Test Operating Process

  1. Prepare standard pre-notched test strips per corresponding material specifications, secure samples between upper and lower pressing wheel fixtures and fasten lock knobs.
  2. Power on the machine, utilize jog mode to adjust bending arm to a neutral position, input target flex cycles and set suitable bending speed.
  3. Press RUN key to launch continuous automatic 90° reciprocating flex test.
  4. When the machine auto-stops after reaching preset cycles, release fixtures and take out specimens to observe crack extension, notch growth and surface damage condition.
  5. Record crack length data to calculate material flex fatigue resistance index.

Wide Application Coverage

  • Footwear Industry: Rubber/PU/EVA shoe soles, genuine leather & synthetic leather uppers, foam cushion materials
  • Elastomer Manufacturing: Vulcanized rubber sheets, TPE, TPU, PVC flexible composite strips
  • Lab Testing Scenarios: Raw material quality screening, new compound formulation comparison, finished product long-term durability assessment, third-party compliance testing
