Introduction
MPM has developed many advanced technologies for impact testing
applications. These technologies can be applied to older equipment to bring
these test systems up to the state-of-the-art. MPM purchases used equipment
and refurbishes this equipment. If you are looking for a refurbished system,
call us and we can provide a list of our current inventory.
System Upgrades
Existing test machines can be upgraded by addition of any
of the following upgrades:
- instrumented striker system (pendulum and drop
tower machines)
- encoder energy/velocity system (pendulum machines)
- infrared velocity measurement (pendulum and drop
tower machines)
- in-situ heating and cooling system (pendulum and
drop tower machines)
- motorized striker return system. (pendulum and drop
tower machines)
- center of percussion correction (pendulum machines)
- velocity launcher (drop tower machines)
- automatic specimen transfer (pendulum and drop
tower machines)
MPM will
assemble the system and provide a field installation and calibration if
desired. Shown below is an example of an upgraded test machine (Tinius Olsen
Model 84) which includes the MPM encoder system, instrumented striker system,
and in-situ heating and cooling system.

The MPM data acquisition system can be used to acquire
data from both pendulum and drop tower test machines. In the case of drop
towers manufactured by others, there are many situations where the hardware
remains in good condition but the instrumented acquisition hardware and
software are very primitive. In these situations, the MPM state-of-the-art
data acquisition system can replace the existing system. If needed, MPM also
offers services to completely refurbish older drop tower machines.
