Developed in close collaboration with our customers
ZwickRoell has been delivering high-quality impact test equipment for years. Based on this experience, ZwickRoell has developed a new drop weight tester product series under the name Amsler.
Plastics become brittle under load at high speeds and low temperatures. Therefore, the temperature response of plastics and their strength dependence on loading rate are investigated.
The Amsler HIT230F and HIT600F drop weight testers, specifically designed for impact tests on plastics, feature excellent test area accessibility allowing for easy insertion of temperature-conditioned specimens, ultimately ensuring high efficiency.
- Amsler HIT600F: The universal drop weight tester for materials testing
- Amsler HIT230F and Amsler HIT230F CAI: The small drop weight tester for puncture tests
