Automated Pendulum Impact Test for glass bottles & jars

…key points

  • Replaced a manual & time-consuming test, with an automated solution.
  • Complies with the requirements of DIN52295 & DIN51222.
  • User safety, manufactured to CE standards.
  • Reduce potential for repetitive strain injuries.

…configuration

Automated pick from an in-feed conveyor.
Container is automatically transferred to the test station, to undergo a pre-programmed test cycle.

…operation

After the bottle/jar set is loaded on the conveyor, the test profile is selected from the HMI, (Test Profile:- initial pendulum position, bottle deg. rotation after impact, increase in pendulum drop height, height of impact etc.). After selecting START the test will proceed according to the sequence detailed in test profile until the bottle/jar destructs. Destruction is detected by vacuum. The last pendulum drop force is recorded along with height & rotation.
