Drop Weight Impact Testing Machine
Horizontal Testing Machine is engineered for accurate tensile testing of long specimens such as cables, chains, rods, and structural components.
Every test matters
we provide advanced universal testing machines
From R&D to quality control, from aerospace to academia, from high strength steels to elastomers, no matter the zoner, HANSA produces and supplies high quality testing equipment to meet modern day quality demands.
Transforming Material Testing Technologies to meet modern day needs
This type of machine is especially designed for drop-weight test of pipe and plate (including plastics, ceramic, Nylon, fabric and building materials). Equipped with force transducer, precise data sampling and measurement system, it fully satisfies instrumented impact tests complying with international standards.
- Main frame consists of seat, top plate, guidance columns and support columns. Seat is made of 45# steel plate and 4 support rods.
- The seat can accommodate different fixtures for different specimens test.
- Support columns are steel pipe to guarantee the whole main stiffness.
- The connection among support columns, top plate and seat is flange with high stability.
- Guidance columns are precise smooth columns with chrome plated.
- Upper and lower ends are connected with screw to ensure high stiffnes
- For drop-weight test of pipe and plate (including plastics, ceramic, Nylon, fabric and building materials).
- Equipped with force transducer, precise data sampling and measurement system, it fully satisfies instrumented impact tests complying with international standards.
- The seat can accommodate different fixtures for different specimens test. Automatic setup of drop height, striker mass, lift/release, and data acquisition. Optical sensor to detect impact speed before/after impact.
- Automatic safety features: Anti-rebound, zero-point adjustment, striker clamping, door detection, dedicated control panel with touch screen.
- High-speed instrumentation: Precision transducer, force-displacement curve plotting, 2 MHz sampling, 6000-point storage, <2% error.
- Lifting system: High precision, power-off protection to prevent accidental drop.
- Clamp/release mechanism: Safe operation with alarms to prevent loosening.
- Safety enclosure: Full shield and interlock door for operator protection.
- Work at ambient temperature between 0℃ and 40℃
- Relative humidity can be up to 80%
- Work on single phase, 220V±10%, 50Hz
- Work without shaking and caustic medium around
- Keeping space between 0.7 m and 1 m from UTM to other objects
- Keeping neat and clean working environment
