Automatic Repetitive Drop Tester | RS-DP-04-2A
Product Overview
The RS-DP-04-2A Automatic Repetitive Drop Tester is designed for repeated low-height drop testing of smartphones, tablets and portable electronics.
With dual independent test stations, 6-axis robotic handling and 14-sample automatic loading, the system automatically performs programmed multi-side drop sequences with minimal operator intervention. It simulates repeated light impacts onto a horizontal surface to evaluate housing durability and internal structural resistance.

Working Principle
Load up to 14 same-size specimens and set the drop height, orientation, sequence and drop count. The vision system locates the specimen, while the 6-axis robot handles pickup, transfer and reorientation automatically.
The drop mechanism positions the specimen, lifts it to the programmed height and releases it onto the impact surface. After each sequence, the robot recovers the specimen and prepares the next orientation or sample.
LOAD → IDENTIFY → PICK → POSITION → DROP → RECOVER → REORIENT → REPEAT
Key Features
- Dual Independent Stations
Two independently controlled stations support simultaneous automatic testing.
- 6-Axis Robotic Handling
Automatic pickup, transfer, reorientation and sample replacement reduce manual handling.
- 14-Sample Automatic Testing
Load up to 14 same-size specimens for sequential repetitive drop testing.
- Automatic Multi-Side Testing
Automatically tests two major faces and four narrow sides according to the programmed sequence.
- Barcode / QR Code Traceability
Identifies individual specimens and links them with corresponding test records.
- Test Resume & Data Recovery
Interrupted tests can resume from the recorded orientation and drop count, with optional server integration via RJ45.

Typical Applications
Smartphones · Tablets · E-readers · Electronic Dictionaries · Portable Terminals · Small Consumer Electronics
Suitable for repetitive set-down testing, housing durability evaluation, internal structure impact testing and production reliability verification. The original specification specifically identifies smartphones, e-books/e-readers and electronic dictionaries as target products.
Product Traceability
Barcode or QR code identification can link each specimen with its test orientation and drop count. Interrupted tests can continue from the recorded test status instead of restarting the full sequence.
Test orientation, time and drop count can also be uploaded to a server through RJ45 integration when the required communication protocol is configured.
SCAN → TEST → RECORD → RESUME → UPLOAD

What products can be tested with the RS-DP-04-2A?
It is mainly designed for smartphones and similar portable electronics, including tablets, e-readers and electronic dictionaries. The purpose is to reproduce repeated low-height impacts and check the durability of the housing and internal structure.
Is this the same as a conventional free-fall drop tester?
No. The RS-DP-04-2A is intended for repetitive low-height drop testing, with an adjustable height of 5–300 mm. It is better suited to repeated set-down or light-impact testing than conventional higher-height free-fall testing.
Do we need an operator for every drop?
No. Once the samples and test sequence are prepared, the machine handles the repetitive process automatically. The robot picks up the specimen, transfers it to the test station and changes its orientation when required.
How many phones can we load at one time?
The standard loading area accommodates 14 same-size specimens. The machine then processes them according to the programmed sequence.
Can both test stations run independently?
Yes. There are two independently controlled stations, so each station performs its own test actions. This is useful when a large number of repetitive drops are required.
Can it automatically change the drop orientation?
Yes. For the standard configuration, the machine can automatically test two major faces and four narrow sides. The 6-axis robot handles the specimen when a change of orientation is required.
What happens if a long test is interrupted?
The system supports barcode/QR identification and can retain the specimen's previous test orientation and drop count. This allows an interrupted test to continue from the recorded point instead of starting again.
Our product is different from a standard smartphone. Can you configure the machine for it?
Send us the sample dimensions, weight, required drop height, orientations and number of drops. We can first check whether the standard RS-DP-04-2A configuration is suitable and determine what fixture or handling adjustments are required.
