End User: EVE Energy Co., Ltd.
Industry: New Energy / Lithium-ion Batteries
Application: Horizontal Shock Testing / Battery Reliability Verification
Location: China
Equipment Model: KRD12-1000A Horizontal Shock Test System

Project Overview

As electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and advanced battery products continue to evolve, batteries and related products may experience various mechanical shock conditions during transportation, operation, and demanding service environments.

Reliable and repeatable shock testing is therefore an important part of evaluating mechanical integrity, safety, and product reliability.

EVE Energy Co., Ltd. is a global lithium battery company established in 2001 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2009. The company operates across consumer batteries, power batteries, and energy storage batteries, with products covering battery cells, modules, and system-level solutions.

For large and heavy battery products and related test specimens, EVE Energy required a horizontal shock testing system combining high load capacity, a large working table, a wide shock parameter range, and high-speed data acquisition.

To meet these requirements, CME provided the KRD12-1000A Horizontal Shock Test System for EVE Energy’s mechanical shock testing and reliability verification applications.

About the End User

For battery products, mechanical safety, structural integrity, and reliable performance under specified shock conditions are important considerations throughout product development and validation.

1. The Challenge

As battery products become larger and more powerful, conventional small-scale shock testing equipment may not be sufficient for applications involving large specimens, high loads, and different shock conditions.

The key testing challenges included:

• High-Load Testing

Large battery products and test fixtures can have considerable mass, requiring sufficient load capacity to maintain stable test conditions during shock excitation.

• Large Specimen Accommodation

As battery products become larger, both specimen and fixture dimensions increase. A large working table is therefore required to accommodate different test configurations.

• Wide Shock Parameter Range

Different products and test standards may require different acceleration and shock-duration conditions. The testing system therefore needs a broad adjustable shock parameter range.

• High-Speed Data Acquisition

Shock testing is a highly transient process that requires reliable high-speed data acquisition. Accurate measurement and recording of the shock event are essential for subsequent analysis and verification.

2. The Solution

KRD12-1000A Horizontal Shock Test System

To meet EVE Energy’s requirements for high-load horizontal shock testing of large products, CME provided the KRD12-1000A Horizontal Shock Test System.

The system uses horizontal shock excitation to generate controlled and repeatable mechanical shock conditions for large battery products and related test specimens.

With a maximum rated load of 1000kg, including fixtures and test specimens, and a 2500 × 2500mm working table, the system is designed to accommodate large and heavy test configurations.

The system is also equipped with a 16-channel control and measurement instrument and 16 sensors, with a sampling frequency of 192kHz, providing high-speed multi-channel data acquisition during shock testing.
