FAQ

Answers to common questions about QM720FB purchasing, delivery and service

What is the QM720FB mainly used for? +

The QM720FB Falling-Ball Impact Tester free-drops steel balls, pins or the product itself from a fixed height to rate material breakage and impact toughness of glass covers, plastic parts, building materials and products - common QC equipment for consumer-electronics covers and automotive glass.

What are the key specifications? +

Refer to the specifications: stroke Max.1450mm, speed range 1~1000mm/min, distance resolution ±0.01mm, electromagnetic ON/OFF ball holding; dimensions 950(W)×930(D)×2090(H) mm.

What are the advantages of electromagnetic ball pickup? +

The electromagnetic ball adapter holds on energize and releases on de-energize for easy ball change and no scratching of the specimen surface; balls of different weights and diameters can be changed quickly.

How is height accuracy ensured? +

A high-precision servo motor gives positioning accuracy of ±0.01mm, with method memory and automatic transfer, so drop height and energy are repeatable across a batch.

Which test standards are supported? +

Corresponding to ASTM D5420 (flat rigid-plastic drop-weight impact), ASTM E2248 (safety-glass ball drop), GB/T 9962 (building safety-glass ball drop) and other ball/drop-weight methods.

Which options can be customized? +

This is an order-made custom unit supporting adapters of different ball diameters/weights, special specimen tables and a 7" color touchscreen; configuration is confirmed by specimen size and weight.

What is the lead time for standard models? +

This model is order-made; delivery follows the contracted lead time once options and engineering are confirmed.

How are certification and after-sales service secured? +

The unit carries CE / ISO 9001 certifications and is calibrated for height and ball-grip force before shipment; after-sales includes 2 hours emergency response, on-site commissioning by certified engineers, a full-machine 1-Year Warranty warranty and lifetime software upgrades.
