Operation steps of bending test machine

1. The rod of the bend mechanism is turned to the limit on the left hand side (opposite to the black knob). This action releases the cylinder's storage tank. Place the desired cylinder into the groove, insert the test piece vertically between the cylinder and the pressure roller shaft (the coating faces the curved column), and push it between the clamping device at the lower end. The clamping unit can be adjusted, but during this period, the clamping device should not be completely locked. Pull the black knob, slide the inserted test piece together with the clamping unit so that it is positioned toward the circular axis. Then completely lock the black knob to make sure the clamping unit and test board are secured in this position.

2. Rotate the screws on the bent rod, and the pressure roller acts on the test piece, and the circular shaft is below. Turn the bent rod until it reaches the limit position on the right hand side of the instrument. This motion will cause the test piece to bend about the selected circular axis.3. The bending process needs to be carried out in a smooth motion, with a time of 1 to 2 seconds.
