PIT-01 Pendulum Impact Tester

Background

The PIT-01 Pendulum Impact Tester measures the energy required to burst and penetrate the center of a specimen. This quantification is determined by the loss in mechanical work capacity due to the kinetic energy expenditure of a pendulum. The test provides a quantitative assessment of the impact resistance properties for films, sheets, composites, foils, paper, and other materials.

Application

Specifically designed to assess materials' impact resistance, especially thin films, sheets, composites, foils, and paper, the PIT-01 quantifies the energy needed to rupture or penetrate a specimen's center. This precise measurement is crucial for material characterization, product development, and quality assurance across industries like packaging, automotive, construction, and composites.

Technical Features

1. PLC Control and HMI Touch Screen: The PIT-01 ensures industrial-level stability with its Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) while providing user-friendly control through an intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI).
2. Pneumatic Specimen Clamping: Employing pneumatic clamping, the tester securely holds specimens during testing, guaranteeing consistent and reliable clamping for accurate results.
3. Pendulum Automatic Release: Automation in the release of the pendulum enhances precision and repeatability, critical in impact resistance testing.
4. Data Auto Statistics: The PIT-01's data auto statistics feature automates the collection and analysis of data from multiple test runs, streamlining the reporting process.
5. Precise Angle Measurement: Offering precise angle measurement capabilities, the PIT-01 ensures accurate calculation of energy absorption during impact, a pivotal parameter in impact resistance testing.
6. Microprinter: Equipped with a built-in microprinter, the unit facilitates immediate reporting of test results, allowing for swift analysis.
7. RS232 Port and Software (Optional): For advanced data management, the PIT-01 may include an optional RS232 port and software, enabling further analysis and storage of test data on a computer.
