Automatic Charpy Pendulum
January 25th, 2009
This is video that show how an automatic Charpy pendulum works, I have developed the software to transform an old manual pendulum to an automated one, the software uses an enconder and some sensors to detect the position of the pendulum, allowing it to autocalibrate itself in 6 oscillations (as the standard ISO indicates).
It has full control over the test, the engine for driving it up and down, the hook for the launch, the brake to stop the pendulum, and the door control as a security measure.
This test indicates a material’s resistance to an stroke (resilience), and shows the result in Joules.
