Personal Armor Stab Test Rig
Controlled. Compliant. Repeatable.
Sydor Technologies’ Stab Test Rig is a precision platform designed for evaluating protective armor’s resistance to knife and spike penetration. Built to meet UK PSDB standards, this rig delivers quantified, reproducible results under controlled drop conditions. Ideal for armor validation, compliance testing, and forensic analysis.
Key Benefits
- Standardized Penetration Testing
Conforms to UK PSDB Knife & Spike Resistance requirements for personal armor. - Adjustable Drop Mechanics
Precisely controlled drop height ensures consistent penetration energy per test. - Flexible Weapon Configurations
Enables testing with standardized knife or spike impactors. - Safe, Remote Operation
Compatible with bench or shielded actuation systems for enhanced operator safety.
Mission-Ready Configuration
Designed for benchtop or enclosed laboratory use, the standard rig includes a sturdy drop carriage, precision height adjustment system, and conformal sample mount. Additional accessory kits, such as test blocks and custom striking heads, expand testing to accommodate non standard weapon geometries.
