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.

Open the catalog to page 1FEATURES 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...
Open the catalog to page 2PDT 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...
