This is a pendulum impact tester designed to evaluate the impact resistance and toughness of plastics. This high-end model fully automates the entire sequence of operations for both Charpy and Izod impact tests. By simply loading the samples into the dedicated cartridges and inputting the test conditions via the software, up to 210 samples can be measured consecutively. When configured with a low-temperature chamber, samples are automatically transferred from the cartridge inside the chamber and set onto the anvil, precisely executing the striking action within 5 seconds as strictly required by test standards. While significantly reducing the operator’s workload, this system boasts overwhelming measurement precision that eliminates human error.
