Motorized Pendulum Impact Testing System
MPX Series
The Instron® MPX Series of motorized pendulum impact testers
are preferred for metals impact testing to Charpy and Izod
standards. Available in capacities from 300 to 900 Joules, the
volume testing. The MPX includes an integrated guard and safety
control system that meets the stringent requirements for the
European CE mark and for ISO 13849.
Fracta™ Software comes standard with the MPX, allowing for
simple data acquisition and reporting of absorbed energy.
For advanced impact analysis and reporting, the MPX can
be upgraded with Impulse™ Data Acquisition Software and
instrumentation for direct measurement of impact force and
striker velocity.
• Standard capacities include 300, 450, 600, 750,
and 900 Joules
•
adherence to standards for non-ambient specimen testing
• Optional interchangeable hammer weights conveniently adjust
the system capacity without removal of the hammer shaft
• Motorized hammer lift and automatic return to start test
position for increased productivity and operator safety
• Hammer brake, clutch, and latch mechanisms respond
quickly for faster operation
• Safety enclosure with interlocks protects the operator by
preventing the hammer from releasing when doors are open
•
lower energies and velocities
• Standard base design meets ASTM and ISO recommendations
• Charpy anvil inserts and striker are selectable to meet a
range of international test standards
