Device for shock tests
Device for shock tests according to EN 61730-2
The test bench consists of the following components:
1.) Frame (standing firm on the ground and fixation of the upper bearers)
Main measurements are according to the standard EN 61730-2. The vertical supports (to which the modular tool holder is attached) are anchored in the floor. The upper supports which hold the carrier system (see 2.) are anchored in the wall. Shear connectors are used for fixation. The necessary installation kit comes with the scope of delivery. 4 quick releases are mounted to the frame, linking to the upper and lower horizontal section of the trolley. This arrangement requires for test pieces of little height the use of the same trolley. The transportation trolley has to be placed in front of the frame that the planned point of impact is located in its middle.
2.) Carrier system with leads and lifting equipment
To ensure that the transportation trolley with the test pieces can be brought into its test position easily, it is necessary to move the impact object with its components laterally out of the area in which the trolley has to be moved. The components are placed on two horizontal carriers, which are in about 4.1 m height. The first carrier holds the cable winch of the impact object. This allows the positioning of the impact object in a standardized distance to the test piece and the desired height. The second carrier has to be mounted with a distance of 2 m and carries the cable winch for the amplitude of the impact object. The carrier devices on both carriers are linked mechanically and proceed synchronically.
