Imatek Impact Test Systems – Plaque Testers

IM1-P Plaque Tester
A dedicated system for the multi-axial impact testing of
plastic and composite plaques to defined quality standards
such as: ISO6603, ISO7765 and ASTM D5628.
The test measures the impact resistance and energy
absorption characteristics of the specimen, typically for
process control or quality control purposes.
As standard the system accommodates films and plaques
up to 5mm thick and tests with impact energies of up to
120 Joules.
Designed for ease of use to reduce operator training
time.
A short, highly automated test cycle results in high
throughput.
Very rugged high reliability design suited to production
environments requiring continuous operation.
High degree of operator safety with full interlocking of
access doors.
Drop height range 250mm to 1200mm continuously
variable.
Impact velocity range 2.2m/s to 4.85m/s continuously variable.
Impact energy range 24J to 120J.
High quality, laboratory grade instrumentation with traceable calibration.
Rigid construction reduces errors caused by machine compliance.
High resolution data acquisition.
Full force vs. deformation graph calculated and stored for each test.
Automatic calculation of all relevant results including failure deformation, failure
energy.
User-defined documentation information stored with each test.
Automatic save of all data after each test, either to individual automatically named files,
or to a test database.
On screen reporting of selected test results.
Standard report print-out.
Export of results to Excel or a text file for independent analysis.
Responsive life-time technical support.

Standard Options
