MAUL-THEET are constantly innovating, having improved upon the predecessors to these models, vImpact-60, vImpact-20 and vImpact-2000. These improvements include increased maximum power of impact, especially during overhead excitation, as well as a more user-friendly system and interface. The introduction of a grounding switch to the signal cable improves the signal-to-noise ratio, making results even more reliable.
The vImpact-21.i & vImpact-61.i offer the same specifications as the vImpact-21 and vImpact-61, but do not have an adjustable hammer force.
The vImpact system is divided into two components:
The hammer head is the small Modal hammer with an
integrated force cell and the electro-dynamic actor that moves the
hammer. This is operated by the control unit which sends an impulse to the actor inside the hammer head. The measured force signal is displayed at the
output of the control unit.
The hammer can be triggered by
several methods:
-
Manually, through control unit
- Closing external input, e.g. push button extension or third-party device.
- TTL pulse at external input.
- Built-in timer, in the range of 4 beats per second up to 1 beat per 1000s (16 minutes)
