High Energy Drop Testing - SFR 6300
Commissioned in 2017 and developed for the specific drop testing of high-value defence related items, the SFR 6300 is a bespoke free-fall rig suitable for the drop testing of heavy objects up to 350kg at a height of up to 6.3m (21.5kJ).
An electromagnet release mechanism provides a clean and remote release of the drop item at height. Components or assemblies under investigation can be either dropped at height or constrained at ground level and impacted by a falling mass of specific geometry. The SFR 6300 is perfect for the drop testing of heavier components or assemblies on a larger scale.
