DATS Hammer Impact Testing
Fast, reliable & powerful Hammer Impact Testing System
Impact testing, also known as bump testing, tap testing, or hammer resonance testing, involves the use of an instrumented force hammer to excite a structure in order to measure the response with an accelerometer. Prosig's DATS-HITS software and hardware stand among the most reliable and efficient technologies available today, designed to help you capture, analyze, and interpret high-quality data from structural impact tests. Whether you are an engineer, technician, student, or a curious enthusiast, the software walks you through each step of the process, ensuring you can carry out this intricate procedure with precision and ease. From setting up your hardware for optimum data capture, to using the DATS software suite for in-depth analysis and interpretation, the step-by-step process simplifies the complexities of the Hammer Impact Test. Understand the key principles of structural dynamics, learn to identify resonant frequencies, and gain insight into how structures respond to external forces. No matter your previous experience or current understanding, the DATS-HITS will empower you with the knowledge and skills to confidently conduct your own hammer impact tests. Start your journey here, where measurement meets simplicity.

We made our HITS system to help us in our consultancy work so the hardware & software is designed around real world needs
Features
4 channels upwards
HITS uses a 4-channel DATS-solo. It can be expanded for more complex tests using other DATS platforms.
We do the clever bit
The complex mathematics of windowing, transfer function type, frequency range is all taken care of for you.
Data export included
Do you need to export test results to Word or Excel for FEA validation? No problem. It’s all included.
Simple USB power
Simply plug the DATS-solo into the USB port on your laptop or PC. No need to connect any extra power sources.
Optional sensors
Either use sensors you already have or we can supply accelerometers and hammers as part of your system.
Prosync
Prosync synchronisation means that every sample on every channel is perfectly synchronised.
