Product Description
PLC Servo-Driven Six-Station Endurance Cycling Tester
Product Overview

The PLC Controlled Six-Station Plug Socket Endurance Life Cycle Testing System represents HongCe's 15+ years of expertise in automated electrical safety testing systems. This precision testing system is engineered to satisfy every requirement of IEC 60884-1 Clauses 20 (Breaking Capacity) and 21 (Normal Operation), IEC 60669-1 Clauses 19 (Normal Operation) and 20 (Making and Breaking Capacity), and corresponding national standards including GB/T 2099.1, VDE 0620-1, BS 1363-1, and EN 60669-1.

The system's closed-loop AC servo motor drive architecture with absolute encoder feedback distinguishes it from lower-tier endurance testers using open-loop stepper motors, ensuring test results that withstand certification body scrutiny.
Key Features
Six Independent Test Stations

Each station operates with complete independence—different stroke lengths, speeds, cycle count targets, ON/OFF timing parameters, and failure detection thresholds can be configured simultaneously.

Industrial PLC Control

Industrial-grade PLC with 7-inch color HMI touch screen provides deterministic real-time control with intuitive, icon-driven user interface requiring no programming knowledge.

Closed-Loop Servo Drive

200W AC servo motors with 17-bit absolute encoders (131,072 counts per revolution) provide precise positioning accuracy of ±0.1mm, continuously verified at 1 kHz update rate.

Universal Quick-Change Fixtures

Patented modular fixture system with kinematic coupling interfaces enables tool-free fixture changeover in under 2 minutes per station, compatible with 15+ international plug/socket form factors.

Comprehensive Failure Detection

Five independent detection modes per station: contact resistance exceedance, mechanical overload, electrical continuity monitoring, position deviation, and cycle rate anomaly detection.

Multi-Layer Safety Architecture

Four independent protection layers: per-station safety shields with magnetic interlocks, central emergency halt, electrical protection, and thermal protection systems.

Core Technology Advantages
Closed-Loop Servo Positioning with Absolute Encoding

Eliminates the root cause of invalid endurance test data by providing continuous position verification. Unlike open-loop stepper systems that can experience step loss under varying loads, the closed-loop servo architecture ensures every cycle is performed with the plug fully inserted and properly positioned.

Four-Wire Kelvin Contact Resistance Measurement

Detects contact degradation before failure using precision 4-wire Kelvin measurement that eliminates parasitic resistance errors. Provides milliohm-level accuracy for trending analysis and early detection of contact wear.

Modular Kinematic Fixture System

Maximizes versatility and minimizes changeover time with tool-free fixture replacement in under 2 minutes per station. Maintains positioning repeatability within ±0.02mm after every fixture change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is HongCe a genuine manufacturer with its own factory?
HongCe is a genuine source factory manufacturer. We own and operate our production facility in Guangdong, China, where we perform CNC machining, heat treatment, precision grinding, electrical panel assembly, and final system integration under one roof.
What are the key differences between servo motor drive and stepper motor drive?
Servo motors operate in closed-loop with continuous position feedback, eliminating step loss that can occur in open-loop stepper systems. This ensures position accuracy across the entire speed and load range, critical for tests with varying insertion forces over thousands of cycles.
Can the equipment be integrated with our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)?
Yes. All PLC-controlled instruments feature standard communication interfaces including USB 2.0 for manual data export and RS-232 serial for automated data transfer. Optional RS-485 (Modbus RTU) and Ethernet (Modbus TCP) modules are available for direct LIMS network integration.
What routine maintenance does the equipment require?
Weekly cleaning of linear components, monthly lubrication of bearings, quarterly calibration verification, and annual comprehensive electrical safety testing. Detailed maintenance procedures with step-by-step photographs are provided in the user manual.
How do I ensure test results will be accepted by major certification bodies?
Maintain current calibration, verify equipment configuration matches standard requirements, document measurement traceability, follow written test procedures, retain complete test records, and participate in proficiency testing programs.
