Standards:

Applications:

(1)Testing shoelaces for wear resistance in athletic, casual, and work shoes.

(2)Evaluating eyelets on leather, synthetic, and textile shoes for friction durability.

(3)Quality control in footwear manufacturing, ensuring lacing systems meet durability standards.

(4)R&D evaluation of new shoelace materials or coatings for improved lifespan.

(5)Testing finished shoes in laboratories for lacing component performance.

(6)Independent inspection and certification institutions for compliance with international durability standards.

Product Information:

The Shoe Lace and Eyelet Abrasion Tester is designed to evaluate the wear resistance and durability of shoelaces and shoe eyelets under repeated friction. By simulating the interaction between the lace and eyelet during actual use, the tester provides objective data for the quality control of footwear, R&D of new shoe types, and performance testing by independent laboratories. The results reflect the expected service life and reliability of lacing components in footwear.

Features

(1)Simulates real-world friction between shoelaces and eyelets to evaluate wear resistance and component durability.

(2)Multiple testing stations (typically 6 groups) allow simultaneous testing of several shoelace-eyelet pairs, improving efficiency.

(3)Adjustable test speed, test load, and test times to meet different standards and material requirements.

(4)Automatic cycle counter and stop function ensure precise, repeatable testing.

(5)Robust construction for continuous operation in quality control or laboratory environments.

Technical Parameters

Accessories

(1)Shoelace and eyelet holding fixtures

(2)Multi-station support frame

(3)Digital cycle counter

(4)Instruction manual

Test Procedures

(1)Secure the shoe eyelet in the holding fixture and thread the shoelace through the eyelet.

(2)Set the desired test load and speed according to the standard or test requirement.

(3)Start the test; the machine applies repeated friction cycles between the shoelace and eyelet.

(4)Monitor the counter and observe any signs of shoelace or eyelet failure.

(5)Record the number of cycles to failure or complete the preset cycles for durability assessment.

Maintenance Information

(1)Keep fixtures clean and free from debris to ensure accurate testing.

(2)Check and calibrate the test load and speed periodically.

(3)Lubricate moving parts as required to prevent wear.

(4)Inspect clamps and holding fixtures before each test for secure operation.

(5)Store the machine in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and maintain performance.
