Features:

This tester offers several advanced features that enhance its functionality and accuracy:

1. Package Face, Corner, Edge Free Drop Testing: Supports comprehensive testing of different drop orientations for realistic simulation.
2. Digital Height Display: Equipped with an encoder-based height measurement system for precise control of drop height within ±2% or ±10mm tolerance.
3. PLC Touch Screen Control: User-friendly interface for easy operation and parameter setting.
4. Pneumatic Structure: Utilizes pneumatic cylinders for secure specimen fixation and controlled release during testing.
5. A3 Steel Plate Impact Surface: Provides a durable and standardized impact surface for accurate results.
6. Customizable Drop Floor Options: Meets various testing standards with optional impact surfaces.
7. Automated Lifting System: Automatically lifts specimens to the pre-set height, reducing manual errors and improving efficiency.

Test Procedures:

1. Charge the Battery: Fully charge the battery according to the first procedure (7.1.1) of IEC 62133.
2. Mount the Specimen: Power up the drop test machine and securely mount the specimen in the pneumatic gripper.
3. Set the Target Height: Use the touch screen to set the drop height to 1 meter.
4. Initiate the Drop Test: Tap the “Drop” key to release the specimen for a free fall. Ensure the ambient temperature is maintained at (20 ± 5)°C.
5. Repeat the Test: Perform the test three times for each specimen.
6. Visual Inspection: After resting the specimen for at least 1 hour, visually inspect it for any signs of fire or explosion.
7. Pass/Fail Criteria: If the specimen does not catch fire or explode, it is considered qualified.
