Applications

• Chair seat static load and durability testing – Evaluates the ability of chair seats to withstand static loads and repeated use cycles

• Chair back static load and durability testing – Assesses backrest strength and long-term durability under applied loads

• Chair arm strength and durability testing – Tests armrest structural integrity under both static and cyclic loading conditions

• Chair front edge static load and durability testing – Evaluates the front edge strength of seats using smaller loading pads

• Chair seat impact testing – Simulates sudden impact loads on seat surfaces using impactor and standard foam

• Chair back and arm impact testing – Assesses impact resistance of backrests and armrests

• Table and desk static load testing – Evaluates the load-bearing capacity of tabletops and desk surfaces

• Balance load testing – Uses horizontal cylinder with leg loading pad to assess furniture stability under lateral forces

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is this equipment used for?
This machine is used for static load testing and durability testing of furniture including chairs, tables, and desks. It evaluates the structural strength and long-term performance of furniture components under simulated usage conditions.

Q2: What standards does this machine comply with?
The machine complies with EN 1728 (test methods for determination of strength and durability of seating) and EN 12520 (safety, strength and durability requirements for domestic seating).

Q3: Can it test both chairs and tables?
Yes, the machine is designed for testing tables, desks, chairs, and other furniture items. The adjustable loading components can be repositioned along the aluminum frame to accommodate different furniture types and sizes.

Q4: What is the maximum load capacity?
The seating load cylinder has a capacity of 200 kg; back, arm, and leg cylinders each have a capacity of 100 kg. The force sensors have a capacity of 200 kg (imported sensor).

Q5: What are the power and air supply requirements?
The machine requires a 1∮ AC 220V 50Hz 5A power supply and an air supply of 7 kgf/cm² (7 bar).

Q6: Can test parameters be customized?
Yes, all load, cycle rate, and speed parameters can be adjusted through the PLC and touch screen controller. Each pneumatic cylinder can be set to operate independently or in combination with others.

Q7: How many force sensors are included?
The system comes with 7 sets of high-precision brand force sensors.

Q8: What accessories are included with the machine?
The standard accessories include chair armrest fixtures (4 pieces), seat loading pad, smaller seat loading pads (2 pieces), back loading pad, leg loading pad, impactor, standard foam, and impact hammer – covering all required test configurations for EN 1728 and EN 12520 compliance.
