NEW Edition 30

NEW Test pendulum and blades – test pendulum replacement

NEW Edition 30

NEW Collection of punctured samples – drawer emptying procedure

Each impact hammer of the CHKTest series from the LABORTECH company includes a pull-out collection box designed for collecting punctured samples and a collection tunnel. This tunnel has an efficiency of up to 98% in capturing punctured test samples, so the samples after puncture are not located in the working area of the machine, but in a precisely determined place – a pull-out box.

NEW Edition 30

NEW Test supports – the principle of replacing supports

Test supports can be used on multiple support points, and therefore the usability and service life are 4 times higher. Changing the positions of the supports is simple using 2 screws for each support and accurate centering guarantees calibration according to ČSN EN ISO 148-2 and ASTM E23.

Impact test with adjustable angle

Instrumented impact test in accordance with the EN ISO 14556 standard including the IMPACTTest module – A with the option of setting any initial angle or initial energy.

Impact test of notch toughness in the X-RUNNER robotic workplace

Robotic workplace for X-RUNNER notch toughness tests according to the EN ISO 148-1 standard with exchangeable containers for 48 samples and an automatic temperature chamber with a liquid medium for temperatures of -80 °C.

CHKTest – NEWS IN THE STANDARD – NEW Edition 30

Everything is elaborate because we care about every detail…

NEW Test pendulum and blades

In some standards, the impact energy is related to the energy of the test pendulum. LABORTECH offers test pendulums: 150 J, 300 J and 450 J. Changing the test pendulum to another type is simple with 2 screws. Identification of the test pendulum is a matter of course. The type of test edges and supports is always linked to the test standard. Blade types: radius 2 and 8 mm, instrumented, Charpy, Izod and other types. Changing the blades is simple with 4 screws. Each test edge includes the automatic identification of sw IMPACTTest

NEW Test supports

The test supports are designed in such a way that the samples do not remain in the working space after being punched, and are therefore suitable for serial or robotic testing. Test supports can be used on multiple support points, and therefore the usability and service life are 4 times higher. Changing the positions of the supports is simple using 2 screws for each support and accurate centering guarantees calibration according to ČSN EN ISO 148-2 and ASTM E23.

NEW Centering device

LABORTECH offers a central centering device as standard for its machines. The center centering allows you to center the sample exactly in the center according to the notch, regardless of whether it is a U or V notch. After the sample is placed and the door is closed, the center stop is automatically released. For robotic systems and calibration, sample centering can be turned off. For testing samples from a liquid medium, the centering is equipped with the drainage of excess liquid from the system.

NEW Control Panel

Using the hinged system, the control panel can be moved to any position acceptable to the operator. Part of the kinetic system is the joint stop. The maximum angle of rotation of the monitor to the machine – 105°. Control membrane keyboard intended for: ON – connecting the power part of the machine (drive), OFF – disconnecting the power part, Button to move to the initial or basic position. Color panel light function (circuit bar) – LGBT states – blue, green, white, red. Touch monitor – 21.5” diagonal, Active matrix TFT LCD 16.7 million colors, resolution 1920 x 1080.

NEW Open working area of the machine

Opening the working area of the machine in the range of up to 230° – i.e. protective cover 120° and entrance door 110° without strut. Easy handling when calibrating the machine, changing the stick or cutting edge. Integrated switchable LED lighting of the working area of the machine. Mechanical door opening stops.

NEW Collection of punched samples

Each impact hammer of the CHK.2 and CH.3 series from the LABORTECH company includes a pull-out collection box designed for collecting broken samples and a collection tunnel. This tunnel has an efficiency of up to 98% in capturing punctured test samples, so the samples after puncture are not located in the working area of the machine, but in a precisely determined place – a pull-out box. A part of each machine is a so-called magnetic pencil, which enables the collection of samples that got outside the tunnel (˂ 2%).

NEW Integrated noise reduction system

Noise reduction system during impact test using acoustic foam (acoustic foam) in the form of fittings by more than 8 dB. Noise reduction in closed spaces and for regulating the reverberation time in the protective safety cover of the impact pendulum hammer. Sound absorption of the impact surface of the sample with a special impact silicon fabric.

NEW Concrete foundation

Perfect design with high utility value. According to the EN ISO 148-2 standard, the impact pendulum hammer must have a base weight of min. 40 times the energy of the pendulum. LABORTECH produced a special design concrete foundation for its customers with preparation for anchoring the impact hammer and preparation for simple handling. The foundation of LABORTECH has a weight of 1620 kg.
