Description

Large Packaging Drop Tester

Applications:

This Packaging Drop Tester adopted dual motors control with 2 beams. "A" and "B". It can evaluate the impact strength of the package's surface, angle and edges. It can do face and edge testing when “A” and “B” in the same level. And do angle testing if “A” and “B” in the different level.

Standards:

ISTA

Features:

1. This Drop tester machine has improved to avoid the difficulty of fixing the angle drop on the basis of the traditional zero drop.

2. Adding 3 protection functions to keep safety of people. If one of them isn't open, the landing gear doesn't work.

FAQ

Q1: How does GT-LC09 solve the problem of testing heavy package corner drops?

A: Traditional single-arm or zero-drop testers struggle to hold heavy packages (up to 800kg) at precise 3D angles. GT-LC09 uses a dual-beam mechanism ("A" and "B" beams). By adjusting Beams A and B to different elevation levels, the machine securely cradles the corner of the package before release, providing stable and accurate angle drop tests.

Q2: Does the release mechanism cause friction interference during drop tests?

A: No. A common flaw in heavy-load testing is that support arms drop too slowly, creating friction that distorts test speed and trajectory. GT-LC09 features 4 high-speed pneumatic acceleration units. During release, the support beams retract downward at a speed faster than gravitational acceleration, guaranteeing unimpeded free-fall drop compliant with ISTA standards.

Q3: Why is a Large drop tester recommended over traditional drop testers for heavy items?

A: Traditional single-arm drop testers cannot support heavy or bulky items (over 100kg) without causing unstable release angles or friction interference. A Zero Drop Tester utilizes fast-retracting support beams that pull away faster than free fall, ensuring true gravitational drops.

Q4: What safety mechanisms are built into the Heavy packaging drop tester GT-LC09 to protect operators?

A: Given the high energy generated by an 800kg package drop, GT-LC09 is built with 3 safety interlocking protections. The landing gear and release pneumatic cylinders will not execute unless all safety sensors and protective cylinder doors are closed and verified.

Q5: Does GESTER provide complete ISTA packaging laboratory setups?

A: Yes. GESTER is a direct manufacturer providing one-stop ISTA packaging testing solutions. In addition to zero drop testers, we design and manufacture transportation vibration tester, incline impact tester, and box compression testing equipment to help clients build fully certified ISTA testing laboratories.
