High Speed Impact Testing - SPL 6000
The SPL 6000 is a bespoke high-pressure pneumatic launcher specifically designed to provide consistent high speed impact testing in a contained environment.
Although originally designed to impact train windows with a 250g steel ball, diameter 40mm (as per the impact tests detailed in the rail standard GMRT2100), the pneumatically actuated push rod can accept a range of adaptors or sabots allowing for the acceleration of a variety of objects. The SPL 6000 is perfect for the high speed impact testing of components or assemblies at a range of velocities.
Digital Image Correlation
Used in conjunction with our instrumentation and data acquisition hardware, which for this application is specifically the high speed camera, the size of the containment environment is perfect for a DIC (Digital Image Correlation) setup and the dynamic measurement of back face deformation of the target. With its open barrel, the SPL6000 is also suitable to study the behaviour of an object subjected to a controlled linear acceleration.
For higher velocity events we also access pyrotechnic based systems at our partners facilities.
