Understanding Composite Plate Drop Weight Impact Tester Ecosystem

A professional composite plate Drop Weight Impact Tester is an integrated system consisting of two core parts: ahigh-stability mechanical structure (main frame, hammer lifting system, specimen holder) and aprecision data acquisition & control system (impact force sensor, high-speed acquisition card, intelligent control unit).

HST-DIT302E is not a simple combination of components, but a high-performance integrated solution tailored for composite plate testing in the aerospace and automotive fields. It combines an aluminum alloy low-center-of-gravity frame, imported servo control parts, high-sensitivity dual impact force sensors, and professional instrumented shock test software to ensure stable, accurate and reliable test results of composite plate impact damage.
