They feature a simple operating procedure, preset test conditions and guided testing, streamlined data management, output for analytical data, and compatibility with high-speed cameras. With these features, Instron's 9400 series drop weight impact testers become simpler, smarter, and safer. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

• Impact Test

High-speed camera shooting is possible! A drop weight impact testing machine that easily synchronizes video and load signals.

The "9400 Series" is a drop weight impact testing machine that can be used not only for punching but also for compression, three-point bending, and tensile-tensile impact tests. As the use of thermoplastics, composites, and metal alloys as high-performance materials for weight reduction in automotive, aerospace, and defense applications increases, the need to streamline the product development process and confirm the consistency between simulations and test results is extremely important. The weight is adjusted to maintain a constant strain rate and speed as much as possible throughout the elongation of the specimen during the impact event. 【Features】 ■ Capable of measuring high strain rates at impact speeds of up to 22 m/s ■ Tensile impact fixture test temperature range: -50 to +120°C (standard piezo sensor) ■ Transparent panels are placed around the test area, allowing for high-speed camera recording ■ Easy synchronization of video and load signals ■ DIC analysis to evaluate the longitudinal strain of the specimen after impact in a tensile impact condition *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Measuring the residual strength of composite laminates after damage! Introducing the CAI test procedure!

The "Post-Impact Compression (CAI) Test" is a two-step test developed to evaluate the potential damage of composite laminate materials using test specimens. In the first step, a drop-weight impact testing machine is used to apply visible impact damage (BVID) to the test specimen. In the second step, a static universal material testing machine is used to conduct a compression test on the damaged specimen, measuring the residual strength of the composite laminate after sustaining impact damage. Instron's "drop-weight impact testing machine" is used for the development, fine-tuning, and validation of various material models. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance. 【Features】 ■ Impact energy from 2J to 70J (and beyond) ■ Minimum mass: 1kg (specimen thickness: 4.0mm or less) ■ Safety enclosure to prevent carbon fiber dispersion ■ Specimens can be adjusted from -70℃ to +300℃ ■ Pneumatic double-strike prevention mechanism to prevent multiple impacts on the specimen *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
