Our modular universal impactor test system
Our innovative testing system provides you with a flexible and future-proof system that is tailored to your individual requirements.
- Modular system: A basic tower unit that can be extended as required.
- Simple customization: Three different launchers are available – replacement is quick and easy.
- Variety of tests: Over 20 standardised load cases are already integrated.
- Central user interface: All load cases are controlled via a single, intuitive interface.
- Individual expandability: In addition to the standard setups, customized test configurations can be added at any time.
Our universal testing system enables precise, reproducible and flexible impact tests – from standardized procedures to customer-specific special solutions. It covers a wide range of component tests and load cases in accordance with the latest legal requirements and combines maximum precision, efficiency and flexibility in a single system.

Launcher technology
TECCON has developed the Advanced Speed Control (ASC) – a closed-loop speed control system – to ensure minimal speed deviations and maximum reproducibility. All ASC launchers are driven by nitrogen and additionally equipped with an electric linear motor for precise speed control.
A key advantage of the ASC system is that no pre-tests are required to verify the impact speed. Even after long downtimes, ASC enables “first shot right” testing.
Advantages of the TECCON ASC launcher:
- Smallest and most flexible launcher in the world (Launcher XS)
- Maximum accuracy thanks to closed high-speed control loop
- No pre-test required for speed adjustment & low operating costs (approx. 1 $/test)
- No hydraulic system – therefore minimal maintenance costs and reduced downtimes
- Quickly switch between different launchers on the base system
