How it Works

1. 1. Four LCF series pancake load cells are mount on the four corners of the drop test machine base. The test platform is then bolted over the four load cells.
2. 2. When a package is dropped, the load cells in each corner measure and send load data to the USB530 data acquisition unit.
3. 3. The data collected is displayed, logged, and graphed via our SENSIT™ software on a PC.
4. 4. By changing out the test platform, different drop scenarios can be simulated and recorded for study and compliance with testing standards such as ASTM D5276 and ISTA 1a, 2a, and 3a.
