Machine for applying low velocity impacts to mechanical structures

摘要

Machine to apply low speed impacts to mechanical structures. It allows to apply with high precision the impacts at low speed, offering a wide range of energies, internal or external application, from any angle of incidence and measuring the energy delivered and returned. It includes an impactor element (1) coaxially attached to a launching element (11) and both in turn to a base structure (27). In the armed position, this set is linked by means of pivoting latches (24) and actuators (43), governed by the machine's control system. The impactor (1) has in its central body (2) a flange (7) that is retained in the pivot latches (24) and at its rear end includes the valve assembly (4) of propulsion. The launching element (11) includes the tube (10) of the pneumatic propulsion cylinder, with two lateral windows (12) for the passage of the valve retainer (13), others with two lateral windows (19) for the passage of the yoke (20) for retaining the emergency energy absorber (39).
