How It Works

1. The test sample (usually a packed product or box) is placed on the drop arms
2. Drop height is set as per required simulation scenario
3. Drop arms are released simultaneously to allow the box to fall freely
4. The box impacts the ground, and product integrity is visually inspected
5. Multiple drops can be conducted on flat surface, edge, or corner

Drop Testing Types Supported

• Flat Drop – Tests product endurance when dropped flat
• Edge Drop – Simulates impact on box edges
• Corner Drop – Simulates most severe drop on package corner
• Rotational Drop – Available in specialized models for dynamic testing
