What is a Drop Tester?

A drop tester is a device used to evaluate the durability and impact resistance of products and packages. This device evaluates the durability and potential for damage of products by dropping them from a specific height and measuring the shock and vibration that occurs.

Drop test machines are designed to accommodate products of various shapes and sizes, and may have different functions depending on the nature of the product and industry requirements. In a typical drop test, a product is secured from a specific height using a specialized platform or clamp, and then dropped at a controlled speed onto a substrate such as the ground or shock absorbing material. The shock and vibration that the product receives is then recorded and evaluated using sensors and measuring equipment.

Application of Drop Tester

１．Electronics: Smartphone and tablet manufacturers use drop testing machines to conduct drop tests from various heights to ensure their products have high shock resistance.
２．Appliances: Manufacturers of large appliances like refrigerators and washing machines perform tests using drop testing machines to evaluate whether their products can withstand shocks and drops during transportation.
３．Packaging Industry: Packaging companies use drop testing machines to assess the shock resistance of packaging materials, ensuring that products are designed to survive shipping without damage.
