Drop testing simulates of the free-fall impact drop that products or packaging products may experience during shipping and handling. Drop testing is mainly to evaluate the ability of product or packaging to withstand drops during transportation and loading and unloading, so as to improve product and packaging design.

KRD40 series zero-distance drop tester mainly simulates the resistance to drop and impact of large and heavy packaging products. It can realize the drop test of the edge, surface, and angle of the sample. This equipment is mainly used to evaluate the ability of product or packaging to withstand drops during transportation and loading and unloading, so as to improve product and packaging design.
KRD41 series small drop tester is suitable for free-fall tests of small consumer electronics and components.
KRD42 series double-lift drop tester is mainly suitable for large size packaging products to resist drop impact performance, its powerful power system and unique sample support for easy loading and unloading of oversized, overweight items, and automatically rise to the set height, complete the drop test.
There are two objects for drop test method, one is the product without packaging, the other is the packaging product. The reason for performing a drop test for product or component is to evaluate the product design and materials robustness when it is exposed to a free-fall impact force. The purpose of performing a drop shock test for packaging products is to evaluate whether the packaging design is suitable, overpackaging or less-packaging, so as to improve the packaging design to save the cost & protect products.
This test is divided into two procedures. The first simulates falls that a specimen, normally in the unpacked state, could undergo during handling and is normally restricted to two falls from a prescribed attitude onto a specified surface from a specified height. The second procedure simulates repeated falls that may occur to such devices as connectors or small remote
control units which are normally attached to cables during use. Repeated falls onto a specified surface from a specified height are achieved by using a suitable apparatus, e.g. a tumbling (rotating) barrel. To assess the effects on a specimen of simple standard tests intended to be representative of the fall likely to be experienced during rough handling, or to demonstrate a minimum degree of robustness, for the purpose of assessing safety requirements. This test is primarily intended for specimens not in their packing and for items in their transport case when the latter may be considered as part of the specimen itself.
CME offers the customized drop tester for a customized height, for the max. height for the KRD40 series we recommend not more than 3 meters. If there is a need for more 3 meters free-fall tests, we recommend Free Fall Release Hooks Drop Tester.
