Revolutionizing Defense Testing with TMC’s Advanced Shock Test Machines

In defense applications, the stakes are incredibly high. Every component, system, or piece of equipment must perform flawlessly under extreme conditions. From shockwaves generated by rocket launches to the sudden impacts caused by artillery firing, the environments faced by defense products demand rigorous testing. This is where TMC Solutions’ advanced shock test machines come into play, setting a new standard for reliability, precision, and innovation.

Key Innovations in Defense Shock Testing

1. Classic Shock Testing

Classic shock testing simulates sudden acceleration changes followed by rapid deceleration, mimicking real-world impacts. TMC's machines excel in delivering industry-leading capabilities:

• Large-scale Testing: With tables as large as 4x4 meters, the equipment accommodates specimens weighing up to 50 tons.

• High Acceleration: Supports acceleration levels exceeding 100,000g.

• Main Parameters:

  • Half-Sine Wave: 2-2000g @ 0.5-140ms

  • Post-Peak Sawtooth Wave: 15-150g @ 6-18ms

  • Trapezoidal Wave: 15-100g @ 6-25ms

2. Shock Response Spectrum Testing (Horizontal and Vertical)

For dynamic and transient events such as pyrotechnic explosions or rocket launches, TMC’s shock response spectrum testing provides:

• Simulation of complex transient impacts on spacecraft and on-board equipment.

• High precision in evaluating the durability of equipment against high-frequency shocks.

3. Horizontal High-Frequency Shock Testing System

Specifically designed for defense applications, such as firearm optics testing:

• Maximum frequency: 600 impacts per minute.

• Peak acceleration: Up to 1500g.

• Precision bump testing for components like firearm sights.
