The Impact Hammer WaveHitMAX
The invention of the first smart impact hammer provides new ways of mechanical excitation for structural dynamic applications. Smart means that the device processes its signals internally. The modal hammer WaveHitMAX guarantees fully automatic, reproducible and high-precision excitation of the test object without double hits. The user can set the number of hits, impact force and the delay between hits accounting for different degrees of damping / delay times. All presettings like zero point or impact force search are made automatically by the hammer. Manual adjustment by the user is no longer necessary.
WaveHitMAX has new features compared to semi-automatic impact hammers. The advantages of internal signal processing are:
- Fully automatic single hits
- Automatic search for user-defined impact force
- Automatic zero point search
- Validation of the impact for quality assurance
- Change of the position between hammer and test object without new setup
The WaveHitMAX can be operated quickly and easily by the included software on a Windows enabled device (PC or tablet) through the Ethernet.
