Universal Pendulum Impact Tester

Benefits

• Engineered in strict accordance with ISO 13802 for both high-throughput production environments and rigorous laboratory analysis.
• Delivers repeatable, high-fidelity data required for critical industries like aerospace.
• High-resolution metrology — A 1k PPR optical rotary encoder measures the precise angle of rise, automatically compensating for friction and windage to ensure accurate energy calculation in kJ/m, kJ/m2, or ft-lbs/in.
• Versatile pendulum system — Highly accurate, single-piece pendulums with capacities up to 50J, secured by an electromagnetic release system.
• Microprocessor controlled.
• 7” touchscreen interface serves as the command centre for your testing workflow.
• Guided on-screen instructions minimise operator error.
• Comprehensive data tracking — Store operator profiles, material references, and batch codes for instant recall.
• LABLogic+ software included, which generates detailed reports featuring real-time batch statistics (Mean, Standard Deviation, and Coefficient of Variation).
• Graphical and tabular results and statistical analysis.
• Ethernet, USB, and flash drive connection.
• Failure analysis — Clearly identify and document break types, including Full, Partial, Hinged, or Non-break failures.
• Conforms to ASTM and ISO testing methods ASTM D256 and 6110, ISO 179 and 180, ISO 8256 method A (specimen in bed).
• Test results units in KJ/M, KJ/M², and FT/LBs force.
• Self-calibrating for frictional losses and windage.
• Fully interlocked enclosure and two button pendulum release for operator safety.
• Electromagnetic pendulum brake.
• Fully traceable certificate of calibration and instrument user manual.
• UKCA/CE certified.
• Universal power: Multi-voltage (110-240v, 50/60 Hz) compatibility for seamless global deployment.
