.

 

📘 General Description

 

The DW750 system operates by free fall with pneumatic release.

 

The DW750 Free Fall Drop Weight Impact Tester is designed to perform impact testing on plastics, composites, films, and industrial components.

It operates under the free-fall weight principle and complies with international standards ASTM D3763, ASTM D4272, ASTM D5628, ISO 6603-2, and ISO 7765-2.

 

Its robust structure, measurement accuracy, and digital control ensure repeatable results in impact tests at different energy levels and drop heights.

This model incorporates the ImpactStar software, which allows equipment control, data acquisition, and automatic report generation.

 

🧩 General Features

STEP Lab impact testing systems (integrated into the DW series) are designed to perform single-axis or multi-axis impact tests on products and standardized specimens.

These systems offer a wide energy capacity ranging from 0.2 to 2000 J, allowing the testing of a wide variety of materials and components.

 

Their modular design and large internal working area enable the placement of specimens of different sizes.

 

The equipment can be complemented with a wide range of optional accessories, including:

 

• • Instrumented load cells
  • Anti-rebound systems
  • Spring accelerators
  • Interchangeable impactors and specimen holders
