Mechanical Drop Tester
Drop Tester
Package & Product Drop Test System
Our Drop Tester is designed to evaluate the impact resistance and mechanical durability of products and packaging during accidental drops, handling and transportation.
The system provides controlled and repeatable drop testing with adjustable drop height, release mechanism and test orientation, making it suitable for product development, packaging qualification and reliability testing.
Applications
- Consumer electronics and electrical products
- Automotive components
- Batteries and power modules
- Industrial equipment
- Packaging and shipping containers
- Small appliances and finished products
Key Features
- Adjustable drop height
- Fast and repeatable drop release
- Accurate and consistent drop positioning
- Free-fall drop testing
- Programmable or manual operation
- Safety enclosure and emergency stop
- Customized fixtures for different DUTs
- Optional high-speed camera and impact data acquisition
Drop Testing Methods
The system can support different drop configurations, including:
- Face drop – evaluates impact resistance of product surfaces
- Edge drop – evaluates structural and packaging strength
- Corner drop – stresses corners, joints and internal components
- Free-fall drop – simulates accidental handling and transportation impacts
For packaged products, the system can be configured to perform repeated drops at different orientations and heights according to the applicable test specification.
