Installation of Shoes Bending Testing Machine in Vietnam

Hong Kong — As a globally leading provider of industrial testing and automation solutions, Standard International Group (Hong Kong) Limited recently successfully completed the installation of a customized Shoes Bending Testing Machine for a laboratory of a well-known footwear manufacturer in Vietnam. The equipment has officially been put into operation.This cooperation represents our transformation from simply “selling equipment” to providing comprehensive quality solutions. It also demonstrates that Chinese footwear testing equipment has gained the strength and confidence to compete alongside internationally renowned brands within the global footwear supply chain.

Why Does the Shoes Bending Testing Machine Stands Out

1. High-Precision Simulation of Real Walking Bending Trajectories

The equipment adopts bionic joint bending drive technology, which can accurately simulate the repeated bending movements of the forefoot area of footwear during normal walking and running.The bending angle can be adjusted from 0° to 90°, while the bending frequency is adjustable from 80 to 150 cycles per minute. Compared with traditional cam-type bending testers, this technology is closer to real wearing conditions, providing more reliable and practical test data for footwear performance evaluation.

2. Intelligent Touchscreen System with One-Click International Standard Test Programs

The system is equipped with multiple built-in footwear bending test templates compliant with major international standards, including SATRA TM92. ISO 17747. and GB/T 3903.1.Operators only need to select the required standard, and the equipment will automatically configure the corresponding bending angle, speed, number of cycles, and stop conditions. This effectively eliminates human operation errors and reduces new operator training time from 3 days to only 2 hours.

3. Real-Time Force Feedback and Automatic Crack Detection Function

The machine is equipped with a high-precision dynamic force sensor and an AI-assisted visual inspection module. During the testing process, it continuously monitors changes in bending resistance curves.When small cracks appear on the sole, the system can automatically detect and record the exact cycle number at which the crack occurs within 0.5 seconds. No manual visual inspection after testing is required, significantly improving testing efficiency and data accuracy.

4. Excellent Durability for High-Temperature and High-Humidity Southeast Asian Environments

Considering Vietnam’s year-round hot and humid climate, the key components of the equipment—including the motor, guide rails, and sensors—adopt a fully sealed moisture-proof and dust-resistant design.The machine has also undergone 1.000 hours of continuous full-load aging testing, achieving a mean time between failures (MTBF) of more than 8.000 hours. Compared with similar imported brands, the annual maintenance cost can be reduced by approximately 40%.

5. Multi-Functional Design for Both Finished Footwear and Sole Material Testing

With quick-change testing fixtures, the equipment can perform both:Complete shoe bending tests on finished footwear;Repeated flexing tests on individual sole materials or outsole samples.One machine meets two testing requirements, helping Huihuang Footwear avoid purchasing an additional dedicated testing system. The estimated return on investment period is only 10 months.

Installation Results and Customer Feedback

In June 2026. our engineers traveled to the Binh Duong factory of Huihuang Footwear, Vietnam, to complete equipment installation, commissioning, and operator training.

After two weeks of comparative validation testing, the new testing system successfully helped Huihuang Footwear achieve significant improvements:

Increased outsole bending defect detection rate from 72% to 98.7%;

Increased sampling inspection capacity from 50 pairs per batch to 200 pairs per batch;

Reduced testing time from 4 hours to only 1.5 hours.

More impressively, during a European customer factory audit in August 2026. Huihuang Footwear successfully demonstrated continuous improvements in product flexing performance through complete and traceable bending test reports generated by the machine. The company secured an additional order worth USD 2 million from the customer on the spot.Mr. Nguyen, Quality Director of Huihuang Footwear, commented:“This Shoes Bending Testing Machine is not just a testing instrument; it is a quality passport that helps us enter the international high-end footwear market.”
