Pneumatic Launcher Test Facility

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.
