Features
- The Dart Drop Impact Testers are electronic full-featured dart drop impact testers for film and sheet.
- They are a proven tool for more closely controlling nominal and peak strength characteristics to speed your production and additives settings and adjustments, research and development of new film and sheet products, inspection of incoming film and sheet products, and in-process checks to ensure on-spec product for converting operations.
- Operates with pneumatic-assist for dart release and film/sheet sample clamping. Pneumatic-assisted clamping and dart release is useful for higher clamping forces without the requirement for large, inefficient electromagnetic releases.
- Portable and expandable with models for Method A testing, or Method A & B combination testing. Extensions and custom dart stems & weights available for testing to your in-house developed requirements.
- Economically priced. Comes complete with everything needed to run tests.
- Provides Advanced Safety Features plus Software and PC Connectivity.
- Automate your Tester with the DX-8300 Dart Drop Software; allows Pass-Fail testing plus Staircase testing to automate ASTM D1709 testing requirements.
