Main functions

The combined static/dynamic impactor enables impact tests to be carried out in any orientation (horizontal or vertical). The shocks are generated by a linear ram driven by an electric servomotor. By measuring position and velocity relative to the impacted object, we can measure the potential energy of the impact and the energy absorbed by the sample. The position and orientation of the impact are adjustable and motorized. The bench can also perform static compression tests up to 80 kN.

Operating mode

The machine is attached to a test stand or directly to the component to be tested. This is achieved using a system of automatically controlled tightening straps, eliminating the need for a large gantry (for testing on an aircraft, for example). The user sets the position and orientation of the impactor. The test bed automatically searches for a contact position. The impactor is then propelled at a controlled speed over the product/sample. The impactor is automatically caught up to avoid rebound shocks. The differential impactor/target position is measured by laser.

Impact tests on the fuselage of a “test” aircraft. The tests carried out are used to reproduce deformations, in order to estimate the force, energy and impact velocity criteria that generate this type of defect.
