Technical description
Main functions
Impact resistance is one of the most important properties to consider when designing a part or appliance. The impact pendulum test machine is used to determine the impact strength of a sample against a shock applied to it in accordance with ASTM and ISO standards. Impact pendulum test machines perform precise and repeatable impacts on a wide range of materials to determine the mechanical and physical characteristics of metals, polymers, composites, whether for R & D or quality control in production. Our machines carry out Charpy and Izod tests, which meet international standards.
Operating mode
The automatic specimen centering system ensures a simple and effective use of the impact pendulum. The specimens are impacted within 5 seconds following their removal from the temperature unit. The use is simplified thanks to the rapid change of the knife and specimens supports.
The motorized impact pendulum is equipped with a pneumatic hammer release system. The hammer resetting process is motorized for a better ease of use. A protective casing protects the operators during the displacement of the hammer.
Advantages
- High precision thanks to a monoblock specimen holder equipped with an automatic centering device
- Quick release (less than 5 seconds) between placement and breakage of the specimen
- Total operator safety thanks to redundant security systems
- Motorized arm to ensure precise positioning and on-the-fly hooking after the test
