High Speed Ballistic Test Setup

We have been developing laboratory launchers for more than 10 years. We have delivered cutting-edge gas guns to many prestigious research centres and universities throughout India.

Our Dual Diaphragm light gas guns are used for impact and ballistic experiment. The repeatability of these gas guns are highly proven.

Our Ballistic Test Setups are the best equipment to test the behaviour of your materials and structures ,the system accelerates payloads in 1000 m/s excess, for certification testing to support you in the development of new products more efficiently. We make customized laboratory gas guns with high repeatability results. These test setups are designed to satisfy your most demanding requirements.

Different projectile shapes can be used and velocities can be adjusted to get ballistic limit and energy absorption of materials.
