How the Drop Test Works
The RS-DP-03A3 performs accurate and repeatable free-fall tests through a simple five-step process.
Step 1 | Position the Test Sample
Secure the product using the SMC vacuum suction fixture. The fixture firmly holds the sample and supports flat, edge, or corner drop orientations.
Step 2 | Set the Test Parameters
Use the MCGS touchscreen to program the required drop height, test orientation, and cycle count. All parameters can be adjusted quickly through the intuitive interface
Step 3 | Automatic Height Positioning
The Panasonic servo motor automatically raises the sample to the preset height, ensuring precise positioning and excellent repeatability for every test
Step 4 | Controlled Free Fall
Once the target height is reached, the vacuum fixture releases the sample instantly, allowing it to fall freely onto the selected impact surface under controlled conditions
Step 5 | Inspect and Evaluate
After each drop, examine the sample for cracks, deformation, functional failure, or cosmetic damage to determine whether it meets product reliability requirements.
Installation Requirements
To ensure stable operation and accurate test results, the machine should be installed in a suitable laboratory or production testing environment.
Space Requirements
- Machine Dimensions: 900 × 1200 × 2360 mm
- Recommended Working Clearance: At least 500 mm around the machine for operation and maintenance.
- Floor Requirement: Level and vibration-free surface with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Operating Environment
- Ambient Temperature: 15°C – 35°C
- Relative Humidity: 30% – 80% RH (Non-condensing)
- Compressed Air Supply: ≥0.5 MPa
- Power Supply: AC 220 V, 50 Hz
Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper machine setup and long-term performance.
Maintenance
Routine maintenance helps maintain testing accuracy and extend the service life of the equipment.
Recommended maintenance includes:
- Check compressed air pressure regularly.
- Inspect the vacuum suction fixture for wear or leakage.
- Clean the impact surface after each testing session.
- Verify the servo drive system and synchronous belt periodically.
- Perform annual calibration to ensure drop height accuracy.
Following these maintenance procedures helps ensure consistent and reliable testing performance over time.
