DROP WEIGHT TESTER FOR ADVANCED IMPACT TESTING – BMT-DW

BESMAK BMT-DW Drop Weight Tester is a fully instrumented impact testing machine designed to evaluate the impact resistance, energy absorption, puncture behavior, and toughness of a wide range of materials. This advanced drop weight tester is ideal for composites, plastics, metals, automotive parts, aerospace components, and packaging materials.

The system supports both low-speed and high-speed impact testing by combining variable masses and acceleration-assisted mechanisms. It is suitable for standard and customized testing applications, including Compression After Impact (CAI), puncture impact, Charpy, and Izod tests.

Why Choose BESMAK Drop Weight Tester?

 

Fully Instrumented Impact Analysis

The drop weight tester is equipped with high-frequency data acquisition up to 4 MHz, enabling precise recording of force, displacement, velocity, and absorbed energy during each impact event.

 

 

Flexible Impact Velocity Range

The system can be configured for low-speed impacts around 2.2 m/s and high-speed impacts up to 6.6 m/s, depending on specimen requirements and applicable standards.

 

 

Rapid Multi-Specimen Testing

Automatic series testing mode allows multiple specimens to be tested sequentially without operator intervention, significantly increasing laboratory productivity.

 

 

Safe and Ergonomic Operation

The machine includes automatic safety enclosures, striker lubrication, and easy specimen loading for reliable and secure testing.

 

 

Customizable Energy Capacities

Standard models are available from 50 J to 400 J, with higher capacities available upon request.

 

 

 

Applications of Drop Weight Tester
