Features

---

– Digital display type eliminates abrasion loss error of the needle and reading error by the measurer.

– Charpy impact test, Izod impact test, tensile impact test, etc. can be performed by changing the hammer and specimen support.

– Easy operation with color LCD touch panel. Average, maximum, minimum, coefficient of variation, and standard deviation of impact values can be displayed and saved.

– Measurement data can be saved on a PC*. (*Optional dedicated data processing software is required.)

– Hammer release* is available at the touch of a button. No individual differences in hook release and improved reproducibility. (*Optional)

– Instrumentation system* selectable. (*Optional. Charpy impact test and in-base method tensile impact test only)

– Specimen support stand* with positioning can be selected. Specimens can be set easily and precisely. (*Option for Charpy impact test)

– Safety cover* (without or with top panel) selectable (*Optional)
