Pendulum impact tester GT-KB17

Product Description
The GT-KB17 Safety Shoes Impact Tester is designed to evaluate the impact resistance of safety footwear by delivering a controlled kinetic energy (100 J or 200 J) to the toecap or specified impact area and measuring subsidence/deformation.

Application
Used in footwear testing laboratories and quality control departments to verify compliance with international impact resistance requirements for safety shoes and toecaps.

Features

• Protective fence to prevent debris or fragments from escaping during tests.
• Separate control box positioned away from the impact zone to enhance operator safety.
• Electromagnetic absorption system for automatic impact-head capture and height setting.
• Two buffer cylinders to prevent secondary impacts and ensure repeatable results.
