Drop Testing Machine With Adjustable Drop Height Mechanism

Drop Weight Impact Testing Machine During the products handling or transport process, there may be drop/ fall, which results in damage within the products. And the machine simulates the drop/ fall of a finished product to evaluate the damage. Standard test of packaged freights (surfaces,corners, and edges), etc. can be performed efficiently with a high accuracy.

FEATURES

1. Outside material: advanced paint coat.

2. It adopts double wings to fix the products well when testing.

3. Power system: drive device (imported motor + speed reducer +Axel+ upper and lower limitation + spring+electromagnet)+dropping device(dropping standard board +magnet + safety spacing push rod + automatic return back + digital alto-meter +encoder +hydraulic pressure buffering device)

4. Control system: adopting electromagnet sensor control, the interface is easy to operate, high degree automatic control.

5. Safety device: upper and lower limitation device, automatic off-power device if electricity leakage occurs.

SPECIFICATION

A Drop Testing Machine with Adjustable Drop Height Mechanism is an essential piece of equipment used to assess the durability and impact resistance of products or packaging materials. The machine simulates the effects of free fall during transportation or handling by dropping an object from a specified height onto a surface, typically to evaluate its strength and performance when subjected to shock or impact.

1. Adjustable Drop Height:

• The primary feature of this machine is the ability to adjust the height from which an object is dropped, allowing the user to test different levels of impact force.

• The adjustable mechanism can be fine-tuned based on the specific requirements of the test, such as testing for specific transportation scenarios or simulating different handling conditions.

• This can be achieved through a manual or motorized control system that allows for easy and precise setting of the drop height.

2. Test Specimens (Package, Product, etc.):

• The drop test machine is commonly used to test packaging materials, electronic devices, toys, or any item that needs to be tested for shock resistance or fragility.

• The object to be tested is placed on a platform or fixture that holds it securely during the test. It can be in the form of boxes, products, or components, depending on the test's objective.

3. Impact Surface:

• The drop is typically made onto a rigid surface (e.g., steel, concrete, or a special shock-absorbing material) that simulates the type of impact the product might experience during actual use or transportation.

• The surface can often be customized or replaced to simulate different environments, such as hard floors, soft packaging, or even various material compositions.

4. Drop Mechanism:

• The drop mechanism involves release and fall systems that allow the test specimen to be dropped from a controlled height with precision.

• The release system can include mechanisms like electromagnetic release or pneumatic systems to ensure the object drops freely, without interference, to simulate real-life free-fall conditions.

5. Digital Control and Monitoring System:

• Digital controls allow users to set the desired drop height, test duration, and number of drops, while monitoring systems can record test parameters such as impact speed and force.

• Advanced systems may include sensors that measure the velocity or acceleration of the drop, ensuring that the object falls under consistent conditions for each test.

6. Safety Features:

• Protective barriers or safety enclosures around the drop area help ensure that operators are not exposed to injury during testing.

• The machine can be designed to stop automatically after a drop to avoid repeated impacts without manual intervention.

• Emergency stop buttons or safety interlocks may also be included to prevent accidental drops or machine malfunction.

7. Test Cycle and Repetition:

• The machine can be set to perform multiple drops with varying drop heights, orientations (e.g., corner, edge, face), or angles to simulate different types of impacts.

• Cycle tests can involve several drop repetitions to evaluate how the object withstands repeated impacts or drops over time.

8. Data Logging and Reporting:

• The machine is often equipped with data acquisition systems that record the test results, including the number of drops, the height from which the object was dropped, and the damage sustained.

• Test results can be stored in digital formats and used to generate reports that help in evaluating the performance of the test sample and identifying potential areas for improvement.

9. Adjustable Impact Force Control:

• Some advanced drop testing machines offer features to control the impact force by adjusting the height and weight of the object being dropped. This ensures the test is adaptable to different product types and material strengths.

• The weight of the object can also be varied by using different weights or adjustable load platforms to simulate different conditions.
