Model IT503 Impact Tester 

This system does not require a separate PC and software in order to operate. However, a data acquisition/machine control software package is available as an option.

• Conforms to ASTM Methods D256 and D6110; ISO Standards 179 & 180.
  
  
• Aerodynamically designed compound pendulum provides maximum rigidity in the direction of impact and virtually eliminates windage losses. Pendulum capacity is easily changed by adding on any one of seven optional
  weight sets.
  
  
• User-programmable Display/Controller has electroluminescent display of specimen dimensions, energy and force units in SI, old Metric or English system units.
  
  
• Automatic report generation with optical serial printer.
  
  
• "Low-Blow" feature provides a convinient and reliable method for releasing the pendulum from lower than "standard" drop heights for testing at lower impact velocities and energy levels.
  
  
• Accessories available for purchase include fixturing for Izod & Charpy testing, additional weights to increase the energy capacity of the pendulum, Automatic braking system for increased safety and higher product throughput, Motorized pendulum return for added safety, Model PI-T Cold Temperature Chamber or Model PI-T-H Hot/Cold Temperature Chamber, printer, WindowsTM based data acquisition/machine control software package. An instrumented impact system is also available for research & development applications.
