Imatek Impact Test Systems - Drop Weight Impact Testers A highly versatile range of drop weight impact testers for performing a wide range of medium energy tests on materials, specimens and end products of various geometry. Laboratory grade instrumentation and very rigid construction for highest accuracy test results. Guided mass system to ensure that the impact geometry is correct throughout the test. Highly accurate and repeatable drop parameters. Very robust construction stands up to the rigours of dynamic testing to provide high reliability with a minimum of downtime. Easily interchangeable contact parts simplify maintenance and reduce cost of ownership. Very high levels of safety employing multiple redundant systems, compliant with 89/392/EEC and 91/368/EEC machinery safety directives. High quality, easy to use control and analysis software ensures consistency and enhances throughput. Simple service requirements of single phase mains electricity and compressed air reduce installation costs. Wide range of strikers, anvils, fixtures and jigs available for standard test geometries, and for custom testing. Optional low mass and high mass carriages provide impact mass range from 2kg to 50kg and impact energy range from 1Joule to 980 Joules. Optional sample strippers for extracting striker from tough ductile specimens. Optional second impact prevention system for non-penetrating tests with multiple impact facility for dynamic fatigue testing. Optional high velocity impact option for impact velocities up to 20m/s. Optional dynamic displacement measurement system for direct measurement of the sample deformation. Optional high speed, fully integrated video system to provide visualization of specimen failure mode. Optional temperature conditioning chamber, -70°C to +200°C. Responsive life-time technical support.
