-
The Rotary Angular System allows you to position the head form between
0° and 90°'s vertically and rotate it 360°'s horizontally.
-
Other kind of penetration headforms can be installed on the base.
-
The
Flying Arm (Penetrator) is attached to the drop carriage.
-
The drop carriage (twin wire) releases the penetrator to initiate the test. It
is also used to raise the penetrator back into position afterwards.
-
The
Velocimeter (Time Gate) is a very precise electronic device that
calculates the time it takes for an object to pass in front of an infrared
beam a few millimeters before impact. The time in milliseconds and the length
of the object are then used to determine the velocity.
-
With the remote control you
can set the height and the speed, initiate the test, perform an emergency stop,
and activate pre-programmed settings.

|
The drop carriage for the twin wire penetrator is use to drop the flying arm.
There are two ways this can be done:
-
The first is with the pneumatic system. The
Remote Control has a button that causes the drop carriage to release
the flying arm.
-
The second is a manual lever. If pulled, it will also release the flying arm.
