Monorail Drop Carriage
 |
The drop carriage is used on:
-
The Uniaxial impact machine
-
The Triaxial impact machine
The drop carriage lowers and raises the
ball arm holder to the desired height. It also contains the mechanism
that releases the ball arm holder initiating the impact.
|
|
|
When the stem or limit switch (seen on tight) is depressed it triggers a
sensor stopping the drop carriage from going any lower. This system is used to
automate the drop carraige. It can lower automtically to pick up the ball arm
holder after an impact.
|
 |
|
The drop carraige is also mounted with a magnetic limit switch. This prevents
it from beeing raised higher than the cut off switches installed on the machine
(seen to the left).
