Key Features of Drop Weight Tear Tester With Automated Specimen Loading Option

• Very robust construction stands up to the rigors of high energy testing to provide high reliability with a minimum of downtime.
• Easily interchangeable contact parts simplify maintenance and reduce cost of ownership.
• State-of-the-art testing accommodates impact energies up to 100,000J and specimens up to 50mm thick.
• Very high levels of safety employing multiply redundant systems, compliant with 89/392/EEC and 91/368/EEC machinery safety directives.
• Automated specimen loading provides compliance with cycle times required by test methods, while maintaining operator safety.
• Very rigid base and anvils ensures very low flexure under high test loads.
• Guided mass system to ensure that the impact geometry is correct throughout the entire test.
• Highly accurate and repeatable drop parameters.
• High quality, easy to use control software ensures consistency and enhances throughput.
• Ergonomically designed, no requirement for the operator to work at elevated heights or handle excessive physical loads.
• Optional instrumentation package to measure impact force up to 1500kN. Provides values for peak force and energy to fail, together with a high resolution force-deflection curve to analyze failure mode.
• Optional variable mass system to provide precise control over impact parameters.
• Optional high speed, fully integrated video system to provide visualization of specimen failure mode.
• Optional liquid cooled temperature conditioning bath.
• Responsive life-time technical support
