Description

The Class G Impact Tester is a single-column impact testing system designed for Charpy and Izod Impact testing according to ASTM E23, ISO 148, and EN 10045 industry standards. The Class G has two popular models with peak capacities of 450 J (332 ft/lbs) and 750 J (553 ft/lbs) with optional pendulums for 150 J (111 ft/lbs), 300 J (221 ft/lbs), 450 J (332 ft/lbs) and 600 J (442 ft/lbs). The 450 J model is commonly used in educational institutions, government facilities, laboratories, and R&D facilities. The 750 J model is most commonly used in high-level industrial manufacturing facilities like steel production, heat-treating facilities, aerospace, and more. Class G comes standard as a fully enclosed system with the options of adding either a fully automatic specimen feeding system or an automatic cooling cycle.

Metals Impact Tester - Class G - Single Column Charpy & Izod Impact Tester up to 750J

Impact Energy

150 J (111 ft/lbs), 300 J (221 ft/lbs), 450 J (332 ft/lbs), 600 J (442 ft/lbs), or 750 J (553 ft/lbs)

This system comes standard with an analog and digital readout for higher accuracy, along with the option to add the ability to connect the system to a computer for use with our analysis software. NextGen's Class G is a more durable solution for your high-energy pendulum impact requirements, allowing further upgrades to be added in the future.

Single-Column Charpy & Izod Impact Tester Main Features

  • The heavy cast iron base is mechanically designed to avoid any vibrations affecting impact testing results.
  • Comes standard with a PLC touch controller.
  • Single-column impact frames (front and rear) provide additional structure and support for high-energy testing.
  • Standard touch screen display and optional connectivity to a PC for software analysis.
  • Motor-driven raising of the hammer with auto-return after completion of a test.
  • The electromagnet locks the pendulum securely.
  • Fully enclosed testing area for the highest safety while undergoing impact testing.
  • The pendulum height and weight are precisely designed to ensure high accuracy.
  • Simple and easy design to exchange the striking knife to meet ISO or ASTM standards.
  • Designed with a high-precision bearing for the most accurate impact results.
  • Pendulum is designed with rounded edges for better wind resistance to reduce any outside factors.
  • Quality PLC controller for precision pendulum testing.
  • Optional computer with software control is available for a semi-automatic operation. The operator must only change the specimens while the rest is controlled by the PC.
  • Optional specimen feeding system is available. Combined with the computer and software, this allows for fully automatic operation.
  • Optional cooling system is available to satisfy cold specimen testing down to -180°C.

High-Precision Pendulum Testing Machine Specimen Collection and Filtering Device

  • A motorized device is used for the collection of broken specimens after undergoing an impact test. Instead of having to manually clean the tester after a test, the collection system will clear the way to prevent the striker from becoming stuck.
  • Unique specimen filtering function: automatically judges qualified and unqualified specimens into different collection bins.
