Shock Testing

Shock events can cause damage to the packaging, the product, or its more sensitive components, and shocks can occur any time during manual handling. Our LAB mechanical shock test system can accurately simulate a range of shock durations and acceleration levels with high repeatability.  In addition, the connected Lansmont Test Partner 3 data collection system allows us to collect acceleration values from various elements of the packaging system.
