Transportation Testing

Cost effective package design is important in any manufacturing environment. Common carriers expose packages to extreme dynamic forces, which can result in product failure before arrival at its ultimate destination. Evaluating a package's ability to withstand transportation induced damage is necessary and prudent. Our tests simulate conditions encountered during transportation and storage of products in boxes or packages. We can also test products which must operate under mobile conditions. Three-channel output can be produced to measure simultaneous multi-axis responses. Hard copy or magnetic media data can be provided.
