With the increase in demand for transportation of electronic devices and automotive parts due to the globalization of supply chains in Southeast Asia, the demand for transport tests assuming various transportation methods and environments such as land, sea, and air is increasing. Especially in Thailand, there is an increase in number of inquiries regarding the transportation of precision electronic components such as harness components and PCB boards, in line with the increase in EV manufacturing. In this article, we will introduce the features of EMIC's transport vibration test equipment, which can handle a wide variety of transport tests.
Covers all international standards for transport tests!
Compact, high-spec transport packaging test equipment
These tests assess the reliability of packaged cargoes to determine how well they can withstand vibrations and shocks that occur during transportation by such as land (trucks and railways), air (aircrafts), and sea (container ships) before actual transportation. Tests such as vibration, shock, and compression are conducted in accordance with various international standards.
▲ Transport packaging test equipment "FT-02K/100"
EMIC's transport packaging test equipment covers almost all of the current international standards for transport tests, and its strength lies in the wide range of displacements it can accommodate. It also clears the lowest vibration frequency of 1 Hz of the U.S. ISTA standard, which is considered the most stringent.
▲ ASTM D4728-16 Random test standard profile
Despite its compact size, this single unit covers a wide band of vibration frequencies from 1 Hz in the low frequency range to a maximum of 300 Hz, and can reproduce various vibration conditions, making it a highly cost-effective transport test equipment.
＜Main features＞
・Covers nearly all international transportation standards and complies with rigorous criteria
・Compatible with low-frequency random transport tests starting at 1Hz
・High specs, but both low cost and space saving
