Norsonic Nor277 Tapping Machine
The Nor277 tapping machine is the third generation of tapping machines from Norsonic for performing standardized impact noise tests (foot fall noise). It incorporates all the experience from the former generations into a compact, light, yet a rugged unit with the construction based on an extruded aluminum chassis. The hammers are made of harden stainless steel, ensuring non deformation of the hammer shape even after years in use.

The tapping machine standards specify the impact velocity of the hammer and to ensure this requirement is met the Nor277, continually monitors each hammer. Each hammer is fitted with a laser sensor to measure the impact velocity to ensure that the energy imparted into the test floor is correct hence the effects of any friction or misalignments are immediately apparent. Each hammer has a LED indicator on the front panel that indicates when the impact velocity and tapping frequency are within the requirements of the standard. The user can now be assured that the noise generation system will perform to the requirements of the standards and therefore concentrate on the other aspects of the measurement.
