Cometech QC-659D Electric Plug / Cord Bending Tester | 6 Stations, 100–500g Weights, Open-Circuit Detection, IEC 60884
- Electric plug and cord bending tester — evaluates the durability and bending life of electrical cords and plugs by simulating repeated bending motions until the internal conductor breaks and an open circuit occurs.
- 6 simultaneous test stations; standard weights: 100g×6, 200g×6, 300g×6, 500g×6 — selectable per specimen and test standard.
- Automatic stop when open circuit is detected (conductor break); counter records the number of bending cycles to failure for each channel.
- Industry: Electronics / Electrical — suitable for power cords, extension cords, USB cables, appliance cords, and similar flexible electrical wire applications.

Overview
Cometech QC-659 Electric Plug / Cord Bending Tester simulates repeated bending of electrical cords at the plug entry point — the most common failure location in flexible power cords and cables.
A defined weight is attached to the lower end of the cord specimen; the machine bends the cord back and forth at a fixed angle and speed while continuously monitoring the electrical continuity of the internal conductors.
When the conductor breaks due to bending fatigue, an open circuit is detected automatically and the machine stops — recording the number of bending cycles to failure as the test result.
Six stations run simultaneously, enabling parallel testing of multiple specimens or multiple weight conditions in one test run.
Key Features
- 6 simultaneous independent test stations — parallel testing of multiple specimens.
- Automatic stop on open-circuit detection — no manual monitoring required.
- 4 standard weight options per station: 100g, 200g, 300g, 500g (6 of each included).
- Counter records number of bending cycles to failure per channel.
- Suitable for: power cords, extension leads, USB cables, appliance cords, and flexible wire assemblies.
