PDT 80M Precision Drop Tester

PDT 80M Precision Drop Tester

Product catalog summary
Overview: The PDT 80M Precision Drop Tester is designed to simulate the impacts and drops packages may experience during transport and distribution. It helps in designing and verifying protective packaging solutions by performing pre-shipment testing.
Flatness Accuracy: Each drop tester is verified for accuracy within +/- 2 degrees before shipping.
Performance Specifications:
  • Maximum Package Weight: Standard platen supports up to 177 lbs (80 kg), while the extended platen option supports up to 150 lbs (68 kg).
  • Maximum Package Size: Standard platen accommodates up to 24 inches (61 cm) front to back, and the extended platen option up to 36 inches (91.5 cm).
  • Drop Height Range: Varies from 12 to 72 inches (30.5 to 183 cm) with different increments depending on the platen type.
Features:
  • Foot Switch: Operates the drop mechanism, protected by a metal guard to prevent accidental activation.
  • Precision Cam Design: Ensures a flat drop event by moving the drop leaf out of the package's path.
  • Counter-Balance Assembly: Simplifies manual height adjustments.
  • Edge and Corner Holding Fixture: Optional structure for edge or corner drops.
  • Extended Platen: Accommodates larger packages up to 36 inches front-to-back.
  • Slotted and Oversized Baseplates: Allows for drops as low as 1 inch and provides a larger impact area.
  • Test Partner Data Acquisition: Captures and analyzes mechanical shock, drop, and impact events with up to sixteen channels of acceleration data.
Options:
  • Drop on Hazard: Simulates real-world drops on predetermined hazards.
  • Bare Product Drop: Tests products outside of packaging to simulate consumer handling.
  • Controlled Orientation: Meets ASTM D5276 requirements for specific orientation drops.
  • Extended Height: Custom options for higher drop tests, suitable for dangerous goods and high-performance products.
Applications: Custom design options are available for specific testing needs not met by standard equipment.
Specifications:
  • Utilities: Standard and optional voltages available, with plant air pressure requirements of 40-60 psi.
  • Machine Dimensions: Height of 104 inches, baseplate width of 36 inches, and length of 55.5 inches.

PDT 80M Precision Drop Tester-1

PDT 80M Precision Drop Tester The transport and distribution environment holds numerous opportunities for packages to experience impacts and/or drops. As a result, shock is transmitted both into, and throughout, a given package. The products within the packaging respond to both the amplitude and frequency characteristics of the shock. How the various packaging components mitigate that shock determines how much shock is transmitted into the product held within. Lansmont Drop Test Systems are used to perform pre-shipment testing in an effort to design and verify costeffective, optimized protective packaging solutions. PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS FLATNESS ACCURACY Before each drop tester is shipped, its accuracy is verified to within +/- 2 degrees. Maximum Package Weight: Standard platen 177 lbs. (80.0 kg) Extended platen option 150 lbs. (68.0 kg) Maximum Package Size: Standard platen 24.0 in. (61.0 cm) front to back Extended platen option 36.0 in. (91.5 cm) front to back Drop Height Range: Flat Drop *Extended drop height available.

FEATURES Field-to-Lab Foot Switch: The drop mechanism of the PDT 80M Drop Tester is operated via a footswitch. When the footswitch is pressed, the drop leaf is activated and performs a drop test. After the footswitch is released, the drop leaf will reset. The footswitch is protected inside a metal guard enclosure to avoid accidental activation. Precision Cam Design: Lansmont's precision cam and bearings design is a key machine feature for producing a flat drop event. When the drop tester is armed and fired, the drop leaf first moves straight down faster than the package and then swings out of...

PDT 80M Precision Drop Tester APPLICATIONS Hazard Drops In reality, not all items are dropped on flat, laboratory-style floors. In fact, some small parcel distribution tests require drops to occur on a predetermined hazard. Edge Drop Corner Drop Controlled Orientation Test procedures and industry standards specify the requirement for controlled orientation drops, resulting in test sample impacts on predetermined faces, corners and edges. Lansmont Precision Drop Testers are built in accordance with ASTM D5276 requirements. Bare Product Drop Extended Height SIZE Small Not quite the equipment size...
