DROP TOWER
A drop tower dynamic testing machine is used to determine the energy required to break or damage a material in which a defined weight falls onto a specimen or a component from a specific height and with a specific impact energy and velocity.
It is highly controlled impact testing developed for high accuracy and fast turnaround of composite samples. It includes a software which assesses the suitability of materials for dynamic applications.

Drop Tower Test Machine for Dynamic Testing
SYSTEM FEATURES
High speed data acquisition (up to 250 kHz), 100kN dynamic loadcell, high accuracy positioning with linear encoder (± 0.125 mm), energy absorbing dampeners, fail-safe safety features, easily removable masses to adjust energy output up to 4.6kJ. Designed for ultra-fast specimen changeover cycle time. 100% energy system overload protection. Structural sliding fixture base for ergonomic operating conditions. Accelerator springs for increased energy without extra machine height. Visual danger warning system. HEPA particulate filter enclosures to protect computing components from conductive dust particles.
RANGE OF TESTS
Impact testing, Crush testing, dynamic compression testing, bespoke component drop impact testing.
OPTIONAL UPGRADES
Energy absorption measurement (SEA), dynamic compression, CZone crush stress inputs:
- Crush stress – delamination free
- Crush stress – delamination suppressed
CRUSH FIXTURE
|
|
Engenuity have been measuring the crush performance of composites for more than a decade and have developed its own dedicated fixtures for this purpose. These crush fixtures have been designed for high throughput, consistency of results and ease of use. Our crush fixtures are portable and can be installed in servo-hydraulic apparatus or drop towers either free-fall or spring assisted. Crush Fixture also allows both de-lamination free & de-lamination suppressed failure modes from flat coupons. |
