FBT-01 Kugelfallprüfgerät

Introduction to the Falling Ball Impact Test

The falling ball impact test is a critical method for evaluating a material’s ability to withstand sudden impacts or shock loads. This test simulates real-world conditions where materials are subject to external forces, helping manufacturers ensure product durability and quality. Impact resistance is essential in preventing rupture, cracking, or deformation in materials used across various industries, including packaging, medical devices, and electronics.

Overview of the FBT-01 Falling Ball Impact Tester

The FBT-01 Kugelfallprüfgerät is a highly precise and versatile instrument designed to measure the impact resistance of thin materials such as films, sheets, composites, foils, and paper. It uses a controlled drop of a steel ball from a specified height to simulate impact forces, providing critical insights into the material’s performance under stress.

Key Benefits:

• Accurate, repeatable results for quality control
• User-friendly operation through an HMI touch screen

Test Methods for the Falling Ball Impact Test

In this test, a steel ball with a known mass and diameter is released from a predetermined height, striking the test specimen. The resulting damage or deformation is observed and analyzed to assess the material’s impact resistance.

Key Factors Affecting Test Results:

• Drop Height: The adjustable height allows for simulating different impact scenarios, offering a more comprehensive analysis of material performance.
• Ball Size and Mass: The size and weight of the steel ball can be selected based on specific test requirements, ensuring relevance to real-world applications.
