DROP TOWERS
Our products are a test system for performing single- and multi-axial impact tests on standardized products and specimens. The systems allow impact energies ranging from 0.2 to 2000 J to be set, enabling a wide range of products and materials to be tested, thanks in part to the large volume available for specimen placement.
High reliability
High efficiency
Modular structure for the wide range of applications
Automated weight recovery and speed reading system
Benefits
All versions of drop towers are equipped with direct velocity readout and an automatic impactor recovery and positioning system we also offer a wide range of easily modified supports, masses, fixtures, and accessories for puncture resistance tests, tensile impact tests, and wedge peel tests along with compression and component tests
To complete the offerings in addition to the wide range of standard accessories, there is the possibility of collaborating with STEP Lab to develop the equipment that most closely matches the customer’s needs.
