The 'roboTest H' robotic testing system is used for automatic impact tests on Charpy (ISO 179-1) or Izod (ISO 180 / ASTM D 256) specimens (ambient temperature or temperature-conditioned)
- system can be attached to 25 J or 50 J pendulum impact testers
- instrumented or non-instrumented pendulums according to standard, nominal energy 0.5 joules to 50 joules
- temperature-conditioning magazine holds 20 4 mm-high specimens
- temperature-conditioning magazine plus specimens must be cooled externally to required temperature before insertion into robotic testing system
- test is performed within 5 seconds of removal of specimen from temperature-conditioning magazine
- manual tests can be performed whenever required
- control is via an industrial controller with autoEdition2 automation software
