Twin wire guided penetration machine for impact attenuation evaluation. Full Motorized system. According to BSI, Snell, CPSC, ASTM, AS/NZS, JIS and other standards.
Features:
- The Rotary Angular System allows you to position the head form between 0° and 90°’s vertically and rotate it 360°’s horizontally.
- Another 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 used 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.
