The speed of any impact event on our high strain rate test system is captured with the speed sensor, allowing researchers to know exact energy just prior to impact.

The integrated optical gates measure the velocity of any object passing through. It is configurable for multiple setups, offers user-selectable English and SI units, and can be used to trigger system lighting, camera, and other data acquisition modules for event capture. The module is keyed to integrate on the REL Flat Base and align with sight windows on the bar accelerator to acquire the speed of any striker bar or projectile passing by.
