6-Axis Robot Auto Drop Tester for Electronic Devices
6-Axis Robot Auto Drop Tester for Electronic Devices is a newly launched product from Qualitest. Portable electronic products, such as smartphones, tablets, e-books, electronic dictionaries, laptops, MP3 players, game consoles, VR devices, remote controls, chargers, headphones, and key components like touch modules, glass covers, product shells, camera modules, fingerprint modules, antenna modules, PCBAs, soft pack batteries, transmitters, and receivers, are all susceptible to accidental falls, damage, spontaneous combustion, and explosions during use.
To address these risks, major brand manufacturers and parts suppliers worldwide have increased their focus on product drop testing. Global standards such as IEC6006E-2-32, JIS C 60068-2-32 have been established to standardize these tests.
The Need for Drop Testing at Various Stages
Products require drop verification tests at multiple stages, including the R&D stage, small-scale trial production, and spot checks after mass production. For example, a smartphone typically undergoes at least 500 drop tests from the R&D stage to mass production. Each product is tested more than 20 times, significantly increasing the demand for drop testing by major manufacturers.
However, traditional drop testing machines require manual handling by operators, including clamping and placing the samples, picking them up after the test, and visually inspecting for damage. This manual process is inefficient and inconsistent, leading to poor test reliability and potentially misleading the R&D team.
