The introduction of the HIT range has provided plastics manufacturers and processors with a benchmark for pendulum impact testers. Accuracy, reliability and ergonomic design are the main features of these devices, the following features appearing for the first time in such machines.

• HIT pendulum impact testers automatically identify the pendulum in use and therefore always determine the measured values in the correct range and according to the Standard in use.
• A world first is the use of carbon double rods for the pendulum. This provides a high level of stiffness in the impact direction and a stong concentration of masses in the impact area.
• Every pendulum is equipped with a quick-change unit, allowing pendulums to be changed rapidly and without the use of tools.
• The optional pendulum disc brake is virtually wear-free.
• Operator convenience is a prominent feature of the HIT pendulum impact testers. Easy-to-reach operating elements, on the same level wherever possible, help avoid user fatigue.
• The electronics contain a high-resolution digital encoder for accurate measurement of the impact angle. For integration into laboratory mamagement systems an RS232 interface is included, with PC connection via plug and play and USB port.
