Sample throughput for whole footwear flex testing depends on how many footwear positions are configured on the tester and how your test cycles are scheduled. This system is designed to run multiple shoes simultaneously, which helps increase daily testing capacity for durability and crack-resistance studies.

The main throughput factors are:

• number of test stations or footwear positions configured on the machine
• test method requirements, including total flex cycles and pass/fail criteria
• whether you run continuous long-cycle tests or shorter comparative batches
• operator workflow, including loading, unloading, and inspection intervals

High-volume QA labs often organize staggered test starts to keep all stations active, while R&D teams may run fewer samples with closer observation during the test. When determining the best setup for your throughput targets, learn more or request a quote to match the configuration to your lab’s workload and test methods.
