Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is this equipment used for?
A: This equipment tests the durability and structural integrity of drawer slides and horizontally sliding doors on furniture, in compliance with ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2014.

Q: How does it work?
A: A servo linear actuator applies controlled, repeatable cycles to the drawer slide or door at adjustable speeds up to 0.25 m/s, while the PLC controller monitors performance and records cycle counts.

Q: What standards does it comply with?
A: It complies with ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2014 and supports Test No. 10 (Cycle Test), Test No. 11 (Retention Impact & Durability Test), and Test No. 12 (Rebound Test).

Q: What materials or products can be tested?
A: Drawer slides (including soft-close slides) from 10–24 inches long, horizontally sliding doors, and hinged joint door piece groups mounted on furniture.

Q: What parameters can it measure?
A: It measures cycle endurance up to 15 million cycles, push-pull force via a 200KG load cell, and can perform destructive testing with programmable force values.

Q: What industries use this equipment?
A: Furniture manufacturers, office furniture testing laboratories, quality assurance departments, third-party certification labs, and furniture R&D facilities.

Q: What are the installation requirements?
A: The equipment requires a stable, level surface for operation. It accommodates both freestanding and pre-mounted slide applications. Please consult the user manual or contact our technical team for detailed installation specifications.

Q: Is the equipment CE certified?
A: Yes, this equipment is CE certified.
