Sample in free fall

IMPACT DROP TESTER FOR PACKAGING

Sample in free fall

You can test packaging of varying shapes and sizes for impact stress after free fall using IPT’s drop testers. The packaging can be tested with its content and may consist of cans, barrels and boxes. The holding device on the platform holds the sample in various drop positions. As the platform swings away faster than the sample’s rate of acceleration, the sample’s alignment does not change. This means that it hits the floor at the previously set position.

Features and Functionality

Structure and mode of operation

This device has a maximum load capacity of 60 kg. It is equipped with a post on which a lifting device with a platform moves vertically. The controls are housed in a control cabinet situated outside of the hazardous area. 
A touchscreen installed in the control cabinet allows the user to set the parameters of the test. 
A low loading sill allows for the platform to be loaded easily.
Once the sample is secured in the special holding device on the platform, the lifting device can be moved to the desired drop height. 
The spring-loaded platform folds down after the release is triggered. 
The sample then falls in free fall and in its original position onto the impact platform.
