Textile Testing Equipment
Footwear and leather testing equipment is used to assess the mechanical, physical, and durability properties of shoes, uppers, soles, leather components, and related materials. Testing is essential for verifying strength, flexibility, abrasion resistance, adhesion, and long-term wear performance in both finished footwear and raw materials.Manufacturers, suppliers, and laboratories use these systems to support product development, incoming inspection, and routine quality control. This category will cover equipment intended for evaluating footwear construction and leather performance under standardized laboratory conditions.

GenVeslic – Leather & Surface Abrasion Tester
GenVeslic is a leather and surface abrasion tester designed to evaluate color fastness, finish wear, and staining transfer under controlled rubbing conditions. It supports both dry and wet abrasion testing using a wool felt abrasion head, defined pressure, and repeatable reciprocating motion. Available in 1-position, 2-position, and 4-position configurations, it gives labs flexibility for different throughput needs. The system is well suited for leather, footwear, coated materials, and dyed textile applications where surface durability is a key performance requirement. For teams focused on finish quality, color transfer resistance, and comparative material testing, GenVeslic provides a practical and professional lab solution.
GenBally Flex – Resistance Flexing Tester
GenBally Flex is a resistance flexing tester designed to evaluate cracking and flex-related failure in leather, coated fabrics, and textile materials used in footwear uppers. It applies repeated bending under controlled angle and speed conditions to support repeatable durability testing in standards-based lab workflows. Available in 6-station, 12-station, and 24-station configurations, it gives laboratories practical flexibility for different throughput needs. The system is well suited for material qualification, comparative testing, and routine quality control where crease resistance is a key performance factor. For footwear and leather labs that need dependable Bally flex testing, GenBally Flex offers a focused and efficient testing platform.
GenFlex Sole – Whole Footwear Flexing Tester
GenFlex Sole is a whole footwear flexing tester designed to evaluate the durability of finished shoes under repeated bending cycles. It helps identify cracking, flex-related damage, and performance differences in sports, casual, and work footwear using controlled angles and adjustable speed settings. With dedicated heel and forefoot fixtures, touchscreen control, and automatic stop at test completion, it supports repeatable full-shoe testing in a practical lab workflow. Available in 2-sample and 4-sample configurations, it can be matched to different throughput requirements. GenFlex Sole is a strong fit for footwear labs that need reliable whole-shoe flex testing as part of quality control and product development.
