Soldering circuit board

GAS GUNS

We have designed and build a wide range of gas guns including:

  • 7.62mm caliber gun with high speed rotating barrel to enable accurate flight orientation 

  • 220mm caliber 16t gun with precision trigger and timings systems to deliver accurate shot positioning on a moving target e.g. High-speed jet engine fan blades

  • 120mm caliber keyed and evacuated barrel capable of launching 0.5kg projectiles in a defined orientation to speeds in excess of Mach 2

HOPKINSON BARS

We have a wealth of experience in building compression tension and torsion Hopkinson bars.  This includes

  • Large scale 75mm Diameter Bars for testing concrete

  • Direct impact bars for testing explosives

  • Long bars for testing composites

  • Miniature bars for ultra-high strain rates

 

NEW

Fully Automated table top bar for high strain rate​ to 3000/s with temperature controlled tests of 500⁰Cto minus 150⁰C.

ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTATION 

We can provide a range of instrumentation to support and enhance the capabilities to enhance our product line.  These include:

  • computer controlled firing unit for gas guns

  • Optical velocity meter with digital readout and RS232 connectivity

  • Trigger pulse conditioning and distribution system for high-speed camera and other data acquisition units

  • High-speed strain gauge amplifiers 

  • Logic level adaptors and calibrators
