Developed and manufactured by Jinan KASON Testing Equipment Co., Ltd., a professional testing equipment manufacturer with 19 years of industry experience, the KASON PIT452CT sets a new benchmark for multi-energy digital pendulum impact Testing Machines.
Application & Applicable Test Standards
Test Materials
Various metallic materials including carbon steel, alloy steel, aluminum alloy, shipbuilding steel, pipeline steel, aerospace structural metal; suitable for normal & low-temperature Charpy impact toughness testing.
Standard Specimen Sizes
55×10×10mm, 55×10×7.5mm, 55×10×5mm (customizable according to customer specimen requirements)
Supported Global Test Standards
1. ASTM E23: Standard Test Method for Notched Bar impact testing of Metallic Materials
2. ISO 148-1: Metallic materials — Charpy pendulum impact test Part 1: Test method
3. EN 10045-1: Metallic materials — Charpy impact test
4. JIS Z 2242: Method for Charpy pendulum impact test of metallic materials
5. GOST 9454-78: Impact bending test method at low, room and high temperatures
Mechanical Structure & Stability Advantages
1. One-piece cast integrated seat and column frame, ultra-high rigidity, effectively suppress vibration during pendulum swinging; front and rear columns adopt symmetrical layout for balanced stress distribution.
2. Cantilever beam pendulum arm structure, simple mechanical layout and high machining precision; equipped with low-friction high-precision bearings, energy loss without load is controlled below 0.3%.
3. High-rigid pendulum arm structure eliminates axial and lateral vibration during impact, ensuring consistent test data repeatability.
4. Dual reduction gear transmission replaces traditional single-stage drive structure, higher transmission efficiency and lower failure risk.
5. Round pendulum head design minimizes wind resistance energy loss during pendulum swing, improving test accuracy of absorbed impact energy.
6. Electromagnetic pendulum release & electromagnetic clutch lifting mechanism; built-in buffer damper to avoid rigid collision during pendulum locking.
7. Automatic pendulum recycling system: after impact test, pendulum automatically lifts back to initial position without manual reset, improving continuous test efficiency.
Optional Functional Accessories
1. English computer control test software: realize semi-automatic test, store batch test data and export editable test reports.
2. Motorized V/U notch broaching machine: automatic processing of standard Charpy notched specimens.
3. Notch profile projector: inspect specimen notch geometric size to meet ASTM & ISO dimensional tolerance requirements.
4. Low-temperature cooling system: support specimen cooling down to -180℃ for cryogenic impact testing.
5. Automatic specimen feeding system: matched with computer software to realize fully unmanned automatic testing.
6. Specimen separation & collection device: automatically distinguish broken intact specimens and unbroken incomplete specimens, store them in separate collection boxes, avoid manual cleaning and prevent striker jamming.
Safety Protection Design Complying with Global Laboratory Norms
Full-enclosed transparent safety enclosure with door interlock protection: all pendulum lifting, release and impact operations are locked when the protective door is opened, completely preventing flying broken fragments from hurting operators. Multi-layer safety interlock design eliminates misoperation risks during continuous testing.
Intelligent Measurement & Control System & Software Functions
1. Adopts Panasonic industrial PLC as core controller, matched with high-precision optical real-time angle encoder to track pendulum position; the whole control system features stable operation, strong anti-interference and ultra-high energy calculation accuracy.
