High Precision Impact Testing - SDR 2200
In 2015 Simpact commissioned their own in-house drop test facility so that they could carry out high precision drop testing and offer this impact evaluation method to their clients. Designed and developed by Simpact, it is a bespoke, linear system that guides the device to be tested to the impact surface. This provides consistent impact orientation and velocity.

This means that we can replicate a load case which may be detailed in a standard (such as the transit drop procedure described in the US Department of Defence standard MIL-STD-810G) which is used for the drop test evaluation of portable devices. It has a fully adjustable rotating head and air suction release with a range of suction cups suitable for holding a range of geometries.

Its open and flexible installation allows for various load cases, close camera work and lighting positions. Drop test surfaces include armoured glass which allows for an underside camera view of the impact. It is perfect for materials characterisation and impact testing at high rates of strain. The SDR 2200 is an invaluable tool for CAE model correlation.

Maximum drop height is 2.2m and the head can carry components upto 3kg. We have developed the facility for integration work with our instrumentation and data aquisition hardware, which for this application includes high speed camera, force platform (rated to 6kN), velocity gate, accelerometers (1000g and 6000g) and pressure sensors.
