The Automatic Drop Test Machine RS-DP-03A2 is designed to evaluate the impact on product performance when a customer accidentally drops the product during actual use. It is suitable for directional drop tests on portable consumer electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, chargers, e-books, electronic dictionaries, batteries, touch screens, headphones, etc.
The RS-DP-03A2 Automatic Drop Test Machine is a precision drop tester designed for controlled face, edge and corner drop testing of smartphones, tablets, chargers, batteries, touch screens and other portable electronic products.
With an adjustable drop height of 300–2000 mm, a maximum specimen weight of 2 kg, and programmable drop orientations of 0°, 45° and 90°, the machine helps R&D and quality laboratories reproduce accidental drops under defined and repeatable test conditions.
Unlike uncontrolled manual drop testing, the RS-DP-03A2 provides controlled specimen positioning, release and drop height to improve repeatability when evaluating product impact resistance, structural integrity and post-drop functionality.
| Drop Height | Max. Sample Weight | Positioning | Height Error |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300–2000 mm | 2 kg | 0° / 45° / 90° | ≤ ±0.5 mm |
For a smartphone or other portable electronic device, drop height is only one part of the test. Impact orientation also matters.
A product landing flat on its face experiences a different impact from one landing on an edge or corner. These different impact conditions can expose weaknesses in the screen, housing, frame, connectors, PCB and internal assembly.
The RS-DP-03A2 holds the specimen at a defined position before release. Vacuum adsorption or clamping can be used according to the specimen, with 0°, 45° and 90° positioning available for different test orientations.
This controlled release helps reduce the problem of the product flipping during the fall and makes it easier to target the required impact point.
Operation starts by securing the specimen with the appropriate vacuum or clamping fixture. The required impact orientation and drop height are then set according to the test procedure.
Once the test starts, the lifting mechanism moves the specimen to the preset height. The specimen is released for free fall onto the selected impact surface. After the drop, the mechanism automatically returns to the adsorption height, ready for the next test.
The basic test sequence is:
Fix Specimen → Set Orientation → Set Drop Height → Automatic Lift → Release & Impact → Automatic Return
This reduces repeated manual height adjustment and makes it easier to reproduce the same test condition across multiple samples.
Built for controlled, repeatable drop testing of smartphones and other small electronic products.
| 300–2000 mm Drop Height | Controlled Drop Positioning |
|---|---|
| Set the drop height directly on the touchscreen. Automatic positioning with ≤ ±0.5 mm height error. | Vacuum adsorption or clamping with 0° / 45° / 90° positioning for face, edge and corner drops. |
| Automatic Release & Return | Multiple Impact Surfaces |
| Automatically releases the specimen and returns to the preset adsorption height for the next test. | Supports steel plate, wooden board and marble board to match different test requirements. |
| Enclosed Safety Structure | Touchscreen Control |
| A fully enclosed test area separates the operator from the drop zone during testing. | Set and view drop height and test parameters directly from the control interface. |
The RS-DP-03A2 is mainly used for controlled drop testing of small consumer electronics and portable electronic products.
Typical test samples include:
It can be used during R&D, prototype validation, reliability testing, incoming inspection and quality control.
After the drop, engineers can inspect the specimen for housing cracks, screen damage, frame deformation, component displacement, loose connectors and other structural damage. Functional checks can also be performed on the display, touchscreen, buttons, charging system, audio, camera or other relevant functions.

Specifications may vary depending on the final configuration. Please confirm the required test conditions before ordering.
The appropriate impact surface depends on the test procedure. The RS-DP-03A2 can be supplied with steel, wood or marble impact surfaces, allowing the machine to be configured around different customer and laboratory requirements.
| Test Factor | Manual Drop | RS-DP-03A2 Automatic Drop Tester |
|---|---|---|
| Drop Height | Operator dependent | Controlled |
| Release | Manual | Automatic |
| Orientation | Difficult to repeat | Defined positioning |
| Face Drop | Possible | Controlled |
| Edge Drop | Difficult | Controlled |
| Corner Drop | Difficult | Controlled |
| Repeatability | Lower | Higher |
| Operator Influence | Higher | Reduced |
| Data Consistency | Variable | Improved |
The purpose of automation is not simply to increase test speed. For a drop test machine, the more important benefit is control over the initial test condition. When height, orientation and release conditions vary, differences in the resulting damage may come from the test setup rather than the product itself.
The RS-DP-03A2 can be used for controlled drop testing according to applicable product standards, customer specifications and internal reliability procedures.
Relevant test methods may include:
The applicable test method should define the required drop height, impact orientation, impact surface, number of drops and acceptance criteria.
When selecting a drop tester, these conditions should be confirmed before deciding the final machine configuration.
ITM-LAB supplies testing equipment for electronics manufacturers, R&D laboratories and quality-control teams. The RS-DP-03A2 can be configured according to the actual specimen and test requirement rather than relying on a fixed general-purpose setup.
Depending on the application, we can provide support for specimen holding fixtures, impact surface selection, machine configuration and customer-specific test requirements.
Machines are inspected before shipment, with technical documentation, operating guidance and after-sales support available for customers.
What products can be tested with the RS-DP-03A2?
It is mainly designed for smartphones, tablets, wearables, remote controls and other small electronic products weighing up to 2 kg.
Can the machine perform face, edge and corner drops?
Yes. The specimen can be positioned using vacuum adsorption or clamping for different directional drop conditions.
What is the available drop height?
The standard drop height range is 300–2000 mm.
Why use an automatic drop tester instead of dropping the product manually?
Manual dropping introduces more variation in release height, orientation and impact position. A controlled system makes it easier to reproduce defined test conditions and compare results between samples.
Can the impact surface be changed?
Yes. Steel plate, wooden board and marble board configurations are available according to the required test method.
Can the machine be customized for our product?
Yes. Send us your specimen dimensions, weight, required drop height, impact orientation and test method so that the appropriate configuration can be evaluated.
