Cordless Kettle Insertion Withdrawal Endurance Tester with 0–15A Output and Adjustable Speed

Every time a cordless kettle is placed on its base and lifted away, its connector goes through another mechanical cycle. Over time, repeated use can affect the connector's fit, contact stability, and overall durability. For manufacturers, identifying these issues during product development and quality inspection is far more practical than discovering them after products reach the market.

HONGCE's Cordless Kettle Insertion Withdrawal Endurance Tester is designed to simulate repeated placement and withdrawal of cordless kettles from their bases. Featuring a single test station, adjustable withdrawal speed from 0 to 30 times per minute, a preset stroke of 0–100 mm, and a built-in adjustable output of 0–250 V and 0–15 A, the system supports controlled endurance testing under defined test conditions.

PLC control, touchscreen parameter setting, cycle counting, and current-based conduction judgment help make repeated testing easier to manage and evaluate. The tester is suitable for appliance manufacturers, quality-control departments, product development teams, and testing laboratories that need a repeatable method for evaluating cordless kettle connector endurance.

Product Features

Adjustable Insertion and Withdrawal Speed

The withdrawal speed can be set from 0 to 30 times per minute. This adjustment allows the operator to establish the required movement rate for the intended test procedure.

For standard-based endurance tests, the actual operating speed should be set to the rate required by the applicable clause rather than automatically using the maximum available setting.

Adjustable Test Stroke

The withdrawal stroke is adjustable from 0 to 100 mm and can be preset through the touchscreen. This provides flexibility when evaluating different connector geometries and movement requirements.

Built-In Adjustable Output

The equipment specification lists a built-in adjustable output of 0–250 V and 0–15 A. The required test conditions should be selected according to the product's rated values and the applicable test method.

PLC Control and Touchscreen Operation

PLC control and touchscreen operation allow operators to configure test parameters and monitor the testing process. This helps reduce repetitive manual adjustments and supports consistent execution of defined test procedures.

Preset Cycle Counting

The test-cycle setting ranges from 0 to 999999. The equipment can count and display conduction cycles, helping operators track test progress and compare performance at defined inspection intervals.

Current-Based Conduction Judgment

The tester evaluates conduction according to the measured current. This function can help identify interruptions in the intended conduction path during the configured test.

The exact detection threshold, response time, and reporting logic should be confirmed against the supplied control configuration.

Motor-Driven Operation

Motor-driven movement provides a controlled way to repeat the insertion and withdrawal actions. Consistent movement helps reduce the variation associated with manually operated endurance testing.

Factory-Direct Technical Support

HONGCE develops and manufactures testing equipment in-house. Customers can communicate directly with our team about product compatibility, parameter configuration, test procedures, and service requirements.

Product Functions

International Standards and Reference Clauses

The following standards are relevant references for cordless kettle connector endurance testing. 

IEC 60335-2-15:2024 — Particular Requirements for Appliances for Heating Liquids

IEC 60335-2-15 covers the safety of household and similar appliances for heating liquids, including cordless kettles within the standard's scope.

Relevant reference: Clause 22.103 — Appliance Couplers of Cordless Appliances

This clause addresses the ability of appliance couplers on cordless appliances to withstand stresses associated with normal use.

For cordless kettles, the test procedure in the applicable edition includes:

• Repeated placement of the appliance on its stand and withdrawal from the stand.

• A specified endurance sequence of 10,000 operations under the prescribed current-loading conditions.

• A further 10,000 operations without current flowing.

• A movement rate of approximately 10 operations per minute.

• Evaluation after the test to verify that the appliance remains suitable for use and that the specified requirements have not been impaired.

The standard's prescribed electrical arrangement, loading conditions, sequence, and post-test criteria must be followed when claiming conformity. The tester's maximum adjustable speed is not itself evidence of compliance.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is a cordless kettle insertion withdrawal endurance tester used for?

It repeatedly places and withdraws a cordless kettle from its base to evaluate connector endurance and conduction performance under defined test conditions.

Q2: What is the maximum withdrawal speed?

The published adjustable speed range is 0–30 times per minute. For IEC-based testing, use the movement rate prescribed by the applicable standard and test procedure.

Q3: What is the available withdrawal stroke?

The withdrawal stroke is adjustable from 0 to 100 mm and can be preset through the touchscreen.

Q4: How many test cycles can be set?

The test-cycle setting ranges from 0 to 999999. The required number of operations depends on the applicable standard and test plan.

Q5: What is the output current range?

The published equipment specification lists an adjustable output of 0–250 V and 0–15 A. Confirm the permissible operating conditions and loading arrangement with the manufacturer.

Q6: Does the equipment support loaded and unloaded testing?

The product information describes loaded and unloaded test arrangements. The sequence and conditions must be configured according to the applicable standard and confirmed equipment configuration.

About HONGCE

HONGCE is a manufacturer of industrial testing equipment, with in-house equipment development, engineering design, and production capabilities.

We understand that a testing machine must do more than repeat a movement. It needs to fit the product being tested, support the intended procedure, and give engineers a practical way to evaluate performance.

For cordless kettle insertion-and-withdrawal testing, our focus is on controllable movement, adjustable test parameters, practical operation, and direct technical communication. By discussing the application with customers before delivery, we aim to help them select a suitable configuration and establish a more consistent testing process.

Our factory-direct approach also enables customers to communicate with our team about technical requirements, fixture compatibility, equipment operation, and after-sales needs.
