With the increasing demand for safety and reliability, evaluation of the dynamic strength (impact properties) of materials and parts is becoming more and more important. This machine can obtain data, such as the maximum test force, energy, and displacement, up to a maximum velocity of 72 km/h (20 m/s). A tensile load type (HITS-TX) and a punching type (HITS-PX) are available.

High test speeds
Design to minimize the effects of impacts
Specialized approach jig (HITS-TX)
To reduce weight and fuel costs in the automotive industry and other transportation equipment markets, the use of plastics and composite materials has increased. Due to the superior workability of plastics compared to metals, many parts that were made of metal are now being made of plastics. However, plastics are not as resistant as metals to heat and shock. For this reason, new materials are continually being developed and these materials need to be tested.
Additionally, in order to improve the efficiency of development, the manufacturing technique is simulated during the design stage, so the accuracy of these processes is very important.
An improvement in the simulation accuracy can be expected by making use of yield stress, maximum test force, and energy obtained through high-speed tensile testing.
High test speeds
The hydraulic operation allows impact tests to be conducted at any speed between 0.0001 m/s and 20 m/s (72 km/h). It allows a wide range of testing speeds using a single machine.
