Electronics Industry Lab Test Equipment Feel Fall Drop Tester With 1.5m Height

1. Product Name and Purpose

2. Product Features

• Sturdy and Adjustable Frame
  • The tester is built with a heavy-duty steel frame that provides excellent stability and rigidity. The frame is adjustable in height and angle, allowing for a wide range of drop simulations. The height can be precisely set from a few centimeters to several meters, enabling the replication of different fall heights that a device might experience in real life, such as being dropped from a pocket, a table, or a hand. The angle of impact can also be adjusted from vertical to various oblique angles, mimicking the diverse ways a device could land.
• Precision Drop Mechanism
  • It is equipped with a highly accurate drop mechanism. Utilizing a servo-controlled release system, it ensures consistent and repeatable drops. The release can be triggered either manually for single-drop tests or automatically for multiple-drop test sequences. The mechanism is engineered to minimize any external factors that could affect the accuracy of the drop, such as vibrations or air resistance. This precision is crucial for obtaining reliable and comparable test results, which are essential for making informed decisions about device design improvements.
• Advanced Sensing and Data Acquisition
  • The Feel Fall Drop Tester incorporates a comprehensive suite of sensors. Accelerometers are used to measure the acceleration of the device during the fall and impact, providing valuable insights into the forces acting on it. Strain gauges can be attached to critical components like circuit boards and casings to monitor any deformation or stress. Impact sensors detect the moment and intensity of the impact. These sensors are connected to a high-speed data acquisition system that records and stores the data in real-time. The data acquisition system has a sampling rate of up to 12,000 samples per second, ensuring that even the most rapid and minute changes in the device's behavior during the drop are captured. The collected data can be analyzed in-depth using specialized software, which generates detailed reports and graphical representations of the test results.
• Safety Features and Enclosure
  • To safeguard operators and the testing environment, the machine is equipped with a range of safety features. It has an emergency stop button that can be activated immediately to halt the test in case of any abnormal situation. The testing area is surrounded by a protective enclosure made of transparent polycarbonate. This enclosure not only prevents any flying debris from escaping but also allows for visual observation of the test. The enclosure is designed to meet all relevant safety standards and regulations, providing a secure and controlled testing space.
• Versatile Testing Capabilities
  • The tester can accommodate a wide variety of electronic devices. It has adjustable fixtures and platforms that can be customized to hold different device shapes and sizes. It can perform single-drop tests as well as multiple-drop tests to evaluate the cumulative effect of impacts. Additionally, it can be integrated with other environmental control systems, such as temperature and humidity control, to study the combined effects of environmental factors and drops on device durability.

3. Specific Parameters

• Maximum Drop Height
  • The tester has a maximum drop height of up to 3 meters. This height is sufficient to simulate many common drop scenarios for electronic devices. For example, a smartphone is often dropped from a height within this range, and testing at such a height can help manufacturers assess the device's ability to survive a typical fall.
• Drop Angle Range
  • The drop angle can be adjusted from 0 degrees (vertical) to 45 degrees. This range allows for the simulation of different impact angles, which is crucial as electronic devices may land at various angles when dropped. For instance, a tablet might slide off a tilted surface and land at an oblique angle, and the ability to test at such angles helps manufacturers understand how the device will respond and whether its design can withstand these off-axis impacts.
• Accuracy of Impact Measurement
  • The impact sensors have an accuracy of within ±3% of the actual impact force. This high level of accuracy ensures that the measured impact forces are reliable and can be used for critical engineering decisions. For example, if a device is designed to withstand a certain maximum impact force, the accurate measurement can determine whether it passes or fails the test and guide design modifications if necessary.
• Data Acquisition Rate
  • As mentioned, the data acquisition system samples at a rate of 12,000 samples per second. This high sampling rate enables the capture of detailed information about the device's behavior during the extremely short duration of the drop and impact. It helps in analyzing the transient events, such as the initial impact peak, the subsequent oscillations, and the dissipation of energy, which are essential for understanding the device's dynamic response and potential damage mechanisms.
• Testing Platform Dimensions
  • The testing platform has adjustable dimensions. The minimum size can be as small as 100 mm x 100 mm for testing small components or miniaturized devices, and the maximum size can be extended up to 500 mm x 500 mm for larger tablets and laptops. This flexibility ensures that the machine can handle a diverse range of electronic device sizes.

4. Product Functions

• Accurate Evaluation of Device Durability
  • The primary function of the tester is to provide a precise and reliable assessment of how electronic devices will fare when subjected to drops. By carefully controlling the drop height, angle, and other parameters, it determines the extent of damage or deformation that a device may experience. This information is invaluable for manufacturers to gauge the durability of their products and make design changes to enhance it. For example, a smartphone manufacturer can use the tester to identify weak points in the device's casing or internal components and take corrective actions.
• Device Design Optimization
  • Through a series of drop tests on different device prototypes, manufacturers can use the data obtained to optimize their designs. They can analyze the performance of various materials, component arrangements, and structural features. For instance, a laptop manufacturer can study the effect of different hinge designs and casing materials on the survivability of the device during a drop. By making informed design decisions based on the test results, they can create products that are more resilient and less likely to fail under normal use conditions.
• Quality Control and Compliance Testing
  • The tester is an essential tool for quality control in the electronics industry. It allows companies to ensure that each batch of products meets the required durability standards. It can also be used to conduct compliance testing to meet industry regulations and customer specifications. For example, a manufacturer may need to demonstrate that their devices can withstand a certain number of drops from a specific height as per industry standards, and this tester can provide the necessary data to prove compliance.
• Research and Development Support
  • In the field of electronics research and development, the drop tester offers valuable insights. Researchers can use it to study the fundamental physics of impacts and how different devices respond. They can explore new materials and technologies aimed at improving device durability. For example, a research team may use the tester to test the performance of a new type of shock-absorbing material for smartphone casings and analyze its potential applications.
