Packaging drop tester PDT 80M

high-level

A low cost precision drop tester, the PDT 80M consists of a drop leaf assembly housed in a cast aluminum structure. The drop leaf housing is supported by a 3" (76 mm) diameter chrome-plated steel guide rod that is mounted to the 0.5" (13 mm) thick steel base plate. A user can manually adjust the drop height by moving the drop leaf housing up or down as required and locking it in place. The weight of the drop tester is counterbalanced so changing drop heights is very easy. The pre-drilled steel guide rod provides: • 1" (25 mm) incremental drop height adjustment from 12 - 36" (305 - 915 mm) • 2" (50.8 mm) increments from 36 - 42" (915 - 1070 mm) • 6" (152 mm) increments from 35 - 71" (889 - 1800 mm). A drop test is safely and efficiently initiated using a footswitch. Both the power switch and power indicator are easily accessible to the operator, located on the side of the drop leaf housing. Features highlights A high-velocity pneumatic cylinder, precision cam design and unique brake system allow extremely accurate, flat drop testing that exceeds industry standards, such as ASTM D5276. • Footswitch operation for triggering and resetting the platen • Precision cam and bearing design for producing flat drops • Counter-balance assembly to assist with the vertical positioning of the drop assembly Specification highlights Positioning: Manual height positioning with guide rod locking pin Controls: Foot switch operation Max Payload: • 177 lbs.
