PT088 Passport Torsion Stress Tester | ePassport Booklet Torsion Fatigue Test Machine
Product Overview
The PT088 Passport Torsion Stress Tester is a self-contained benchtop instrument designed to evaluate the torsion fatigue resistance of electronic passport booklets. By applying controlled twisting stress to the passport, it reproduces the mechanical loads that documents experience during repeated handling, insertion, and bending in real-world use.
A precision clamping system with a 0.5 mm initial gap can be adjusted to accommodate different ePassport thicknesses, covering both standard ISO/ICAO documents and thinner booklets. The machine tests up to five passports at the same time within a single run, making it ideal for high-throughput quality control and durability qualification.
Compact footprint of 490 x 290 x 400 mm, 32 kg net weight, and universal AC 100 - 230 V power make the PT088 easy to deploy in passport test labs and personalization centers.
1. Torsion Fatigue Resistance Test Applies repeatable twisting stress to passport booklets to assess fatigue life and structural integrity of covers, spine, and inner pages. | 2. Five-Passport Parallel Testing Test up to five ePassports simultaneously in one run, maximizing throughput and reducing per-sample cycle time in busy QC labs. |
3. 0.5 mm Adjustable Clamping Gap Easily adapt clamp spacing for standard ISO/ICAO ePassport thicknesses or thinner documents, ensuring accurate fixture contact. | 4. Color Touchscreen Control Intuitive color display lets operators set cycle count, frequency, stroke length, and other parameters quickly without complex training. |
