Introduction
Product Functions and Applications
The Incline Impact Tester is designed to evaluate the impact resistance of packaging, pallets, transportation units, and heavy industrial components under controlled inclined collision conditions.
It reproduces real-world truck sudden-stop events, forklift impacts, warehouse handling shocks, and oblique loading scenarios.
With modular load capacities up to 10,000 lbs, the system accommodates testing demands ranging from consumer goods to large industrial machinery.
Standards Compliance
ASTM D7748 — Standard Test Method for Impact Resistance Testing of Packaging and Transport Systems
ISO 13355 — Packaging and Automotive Component Durability Under Inclined Impact
ISTA 3E — Simulated Truck Collision Test Procedure for Palletized Freight
Product Features
1. Rapid Precision Deployment
Pneumatic positioning delivers sub-0.1 mm repeatability for accurate crash velocity calibration.
Tool-free adjustment allows impact speed settings from 2–12 ft/sec (0.6–3.7 m/s).
2. Modular Impact Configuration
Six load capacities from 1,000–10,000 lbs (454–4,536 kg).
Collision surfaces up to 96 × 96 inches (2.4 × 2.4 m) for full-scale articles.
3. Advanced Data Acquisition
4-channel TLP system with 100 kHz sampling captures peak G-forces and deformation.
Bi-directional velocimetry with 1,000VM laser sensor and 0.01 ft/sec resolution.
4. Ergonomic Workflow
Low-profile 8-inch sled permits forklift-free loading.
Self-centering guides ensure repeatable alignment and impact angle accuracy.
5. Industrial Durability
AR500 hardened steel collision plates resist long-term deformation.
IP67-rated sealed drive system withstands dusty and wet industrial environments.
