• Required Payload mass is added to the Tupper mass max upto 18.09 kg(net).
• Mount the required indenter TUP to be tested.
• Based on the programmed height of drop (0-1500 mm) and spring compression required (0-100 mm) the main motor and spring motor operate to reach target height.
• In order to achieve drops from heights that are beyond 1.5 mm (gravity fall) we have the option of spring loading.
• As the mass drops on to the target specimen we can have different types of impact depending on the nature of the material (elastic, plastic or brittle). For example, in an elastic material we may have multiple rebound impacts. These rebounds will progressively decay and damp out to zero.
• In order to ensure that we have only one impact and no rebound (when necessitated) there is a provision of a rebound actuator that when enabled will capture the drop system to prevent further rebounds after one hit.
• Parameters measured in the DWT include velocity of impact, impact force and deformation of specimen (displacement based).
• All the parameters are directly observable as time series in the DWT software.
• The DWT system is designed to accelerate a mass of 18.09 kgs upto 20 m/s or equivalently achieve a impact energy if approximately 1700 Joules (maximum)
