Product catalog summary
Overview: Impact-O-Graph Devices offers a range of products designed for transportation monitoring, specifically focusing on measuring shocks during product transportation. Their devices have been used for over 40 years by manufacturers and the military to detect mishandling of shipments.
Specifications: The Impact-O-Graph 'M' Series Analog Recorder features three independent mass-spring styluses that measure impacts along the X, Y, and Z axes. It records continuously for up to 6 months using a standard C Cell battery and can detect shocks up to 50g. The device is self-contained, requiring no additional equipment, and is accepted as evidence in legal disputes.
Installation and Operation: The recorders come ready to use with pre-installed paper and battery. Installation involves securely mounting the recorder, setting the chart paper to the starting time, and turning the device on. The recorder documents impacts on pressure-sensitive paper.
Stylus Bracket Settings: Various stylus brackets are available, each with specific natural frequencies and critical pulse durations. The selection of brackets depends on the sensitivities of the object, packaging, and transportation mode.
Model Information: The document lists several models (M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4) with different chart speeds and life spans, all offering a battery life of 6 months. The dimensions, weight, and temperature range of the Model M Recorder are also provided.
g-Rating for Vehicles: The document provides g-ratings for different vehicle types and package weights, indicating the expected impact levels during transportation. The appropriate g-level for the stylus brackets depends on product sensitivities and transportation conditions.

How Our Impact Recorders Work Three mass-spring styluses work independently of each other, each measuring one axis- X, Y and Z. Each stylus operates by angular vibration with one degree of freedomin the direction it monitors. The mechanical, friction-free linkage from each stylus’ inertia mass converts motion from any of the three directions into the same plane and draws these forces onto the chart paper for easy reading. Easy Installation and Operation lmpact-O-Graph Recorders are delivered ready to use with paper and battery already installed (no ink is used). An Operations Manual is provided with each recorder. 1.
