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. Our machines perform 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.
Bench developed to meet these standards:
