Drop Tester G129

Introduction

The Zero Drop Tester is designed to evaluate the impact resistance of packaging during handling, transportation, and unloading. It assesses the packaging’s ability to withstand shocks and verifies the rationality of packaging design. The machine is suitable for testing larger packages. The test specimen is placed on a rapidly descending “E”-shaped fork, simulating free-fall drops onto a cushioning base. Drop heights can be set via the touchscreen controller, and the drop is executed automatically according to the preset height.

Application

(1) Testing large transport packaging in logistics and warehousing.

(2) Evaluating packaging shock resistance for cartons, crates, and industrial containers.

(3) Assessing packaging design for transport reliability and impact protection.

(4) Applicable test types: face drop, edge drop, and corner drop.

Standards

(1) GB/T 1019-2008 – Transport Packaging – Drop Test Method

(2) ISO 2248 – Packaging – Complete, filled transport packages – Vertical impact test

(3) ASTM D5276 – Standard Test Method for Drop Test of Loaded Containers by Free Fall

(4) ISTA 1A / 1B – Package Integrity Performance Test Procedures

(5) JIS Z 0202 – Testing methods for transport packaging – Drop test

Parameters

Features

(1) Capable of zero-height to high-drop testing for versatile package evaluation.

(2) Accurate and repeatable drop execution via microcomputer-controlled motor and pneumatic acceleration.

(3) Multiple test orientations: face, edge, and corner.

(4) Safety ensured with upper and lower inductive sensors.

(5) Robust steel structure with welded fork and solid impact plate for durability.

(6) Touchscreen control for precise drop height setting and real-time monitoring.

Accessories

(1) E-shaped test specimen fork

(2) Impact cushioning base

(3) Drop height marking scale

(4) Pneumatic acceleration system

(5) Touchscreen controller

Test Procedures

(1) Place the specimen on the E-shaped fork according to the test type (face, edge, corner).

(2) Set the desired drop height via the touchscreen.

(3) Start the test; the fork will descend automatically, and the specimen will impact the base.

(4) After the drop, evaluate the specimen for damage and deformation.

(5) Repeat for additional orientations or specimens as required.

Maintenance Information

(1) Regularly inspect fork, impact plate, and linear slide for wear.

(2) Keep pneumatic system leak-free and lubricated.

(3) Ensure sensors and controller are free from dust and moisture.

(4) Check electrical connections and motor functionality periodically.

(5) Replace worn parts promptly to maintain test accuracy.
