Typically, they provide an overall test plan with guidance to help determine “how high”, “how many times” and “in what orientations” to drop something. Standards organizations such as ISTA (International Safe Transit Ass
Lansmont leads the way in delivering advanced shock and vibration testing solutions to top corporations, government labs, and academic institutions globally.
Headquartered in Monterey, California, Lansmont Corporation provides state-of-the-art shock and vibration measurement and testing technology to the world’s leading companies, government laboratories and educational institutions.
For motorised systems a handheld controller for Lansmont Precision Drop Testers (PDTs) is a plug-and-play device with a straightforward setup and calibration routine.
Each SAVER Field Instrument includes the SaverXware software. This software platform enables communication with the SAVER hardware for pre-recording setup and data analysis once the SAVER has recorded some events.

In view of the complexity and the transport distances, considerable efforts are made to avoid and mitigate risks associated with hazardous shock and vibration impacts along the way.
A drop tester enables product and packaging designers to examine how a product behaves when dropped from different heights, simulating various drop scenarios in a lab environment.
6-Step Method: Defining the transport environment (1)
The drop platform, also known as a 'drop leaf', is where the product or package to be tested is placed.
It can be flat or used with specific fixtures to hold the item at varying orientations for different impact scenarios.

This includes the software and hardware used to configure test parameters, such as drop height and impact force.
You should look for a tester with precise drop mechanisms and accurate measurement instrumentation to ensure reliable results.
