Update: Collection of Case Studies on JIS Z 0202 Drop Tests

The selection will be made with reference to the general provisions of JIS Z 0200 regarding test levels and vibration duration.

"JIS Z0232 (Vibration Testing Method)" is a testing method used to evaluate the vibration resistance of the contents or packaging of packaged goods that are subjected to vibrations during the distribution process. Our company conducts various vibration tests in accordance with different standards for packaged products, as well as sinusoidal resonance detection vibration tests to explore the resonance points of the products themselves, and durability tests to confirm product strength, all for diverse purposes. If you wish to conduct a test, please feel free to consult with us. [Vibration Conditions] ◇ Random Vibration Test - Acceleration RMS Value: 0.604Grms - Frequency: 2-200Hz ◇ Sinusoidal Sweep Vibration Test - Acceleration: 7m/s² - Frequency: 3-100Hz - Sweep Speed: 1/2oct/min

• Vibration Testing

It is also possible to capture the behavior of the product and the deformation of the cushioning packaging in as little as 1/2000 of a second for visual confirmation through video.

"JIS Z 0202 (Drop Test Method)" is a testing method used to evaluate whether packaging goods and containers made of metal, wood, cardboard, paperboard, plastic, or combinations of these materials are appropriate. The testing methods include three types: "Vertical Free Fall Test" using a free fall testing machine, "Equivalent Drop Test" using an equivalent drop testing machine, and "Single Support Drop Test" using a crane. For test levels and conditions, refer to the general provisions of JIS Z 0200 and select the drop height based on the mass after packaging. If you wish to conduct a test, please feel free to consult us. 【Drop Test Methods】 ◇ Vertical Free Fall Test ◇ Equivalent Drop Test ◇ Single Support Drop Test ▼ For more details, please download the PDF document (recommended). ▼ For urgent inquiries, please contact us using the 'Contact Us' section below.

• Impact Test

We conduct over 300 transportation tests annually. We provide consistent support from the planning of the tests to the preparation of the test reports.

"JIS Z0212 (Compression Test Method)" is a testing method used to evaluate whether packaging goods and containers made of metal, wood, cardboard, paperboard, plastic, or a combination of these materials are appropriate or not. The testing methods primarily include "Method A," which conducts a compression test on packaging goods to investigate damage to the contents due to the compression load specified in JIS Z 0212, and "Method B," which performs a compression test on empty containers to determine the compression strength of the container itself. Additionally, there is a "Stacking Load Test" specified in the annex of JIS Z0212, and users can choose the testing method according to their testing objectives. ▼ For more details, please download the PDF document (recommended). ▼ Customers in a hurry, please contact us via the 'Contact Us' section below.

• Strength Testing Equipment

The testing method applies an inclined surface test using an inclined impact testing machine.

"JIS Z 0205 (Horizontal Impact Test Method)" is a testing method used to evaluate whether packaging goods and containers made of metal, wood, cardboard, paperboard, plastic, or combinations of these materials are appropriate. The testing methods include horizontal surface tests, inclined surface tests, and pendulum tests, with our company applying the inclined surface test using an inclined impact testing machine. The test levels, impact speeds, and number of impacts are selected based on JIS Z 0200 General Rules for Testing Methods before conducting the impact tests. 【Impact Test Method】 ◇ Test Method: Inclined Impact Test ◇ Equipment Used: Inclined Impact Testing Machine ▼ For more details, please download the PDF document.

• Impact Test

Based on the content of ISO 4180, this is a testing method for evaluating the packaging of packaged goods against vibrations, drop impacts, and compression during the distribution process.

The document consists of two parts: the main body and the annexes. The main body is created based on ISO 4180, with technical content modified to reflect Japan's unique circumstances, while Annexes A and B are presented without changes to the content of ISO 4180: 2009. (Currently, ISO 4180: 2019 has been issued, so it is recommended to refer to the latest version for the application of Annex A unless there are special reasons.) ▼ For more details, please download the PDF materials.

Contec has added a BTO menu for the Windows 11-based embedded OS - Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 to its industrial computer "MR4310 series" and has started accepting orders.

Contec has developed the Ethernet wireless converters "RP-WAH-SR12" and "RP-WAH-SR22," which utilize 920MHz sub-gigahertz wireless (IEEE 802.11ah) to enable Ethernet communication wirelessly even at distances of up to 1 km. Sales began on August 21, 2025. The new products are compact IEEE 802.11ah compliant wireless LAN converters that can be installed in various locations. The new Wi-Fi standard "IEEE 802.11ah," which utilizes sub-gigahertz wireless communication, became available in Japan in September 2022. It operates in the 920MHz band without the need for a license and can be used outdoors. Compared to conventional 920MHz wireless communication, it enables high-speed communication and the establishment of long-distance networks, making it expected to be utilized in large factories, plants, and farms. The new Ethernet wireless converters are designed to be lightweight and compact, allowing for installation in various locations such as walls and DIN rails with the included mounting brackets. Additionally, they support external antennas, enabling the construction of flexible wireless LAN systems.

Contec has developed a super compact business computer equipped with the Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra processor (Series 1), and has started accepting orders for the business computer "LPC-500 Series" (hereinafter referred to as the new product) from August 28, 2025. The new product is a super compact business computer featuring the Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 5 processor 125U (Series 1, Meteor Lake-U). It is equipped with "Intel(R) AI Boost," which integrates an NPU into the CPU, allowing for the execution of AI functions such as image recognition and voice processing at high speed and low power consumption while reducing the load on the CPU and GPU. With ultra-compact dimensions of 150(W) × 150(D) × 33(H) mm, it comes with a vertical stand and VESA mounting brackets, enabling installation in tight spaces on desks, behind displays, or inside equipment without restriction. It adopts a BTO (Build to Order) method that allows customers to freely choose memory capacity, storage, OS, and more, enabling the order of a PC with specifications optimal for their needs and budget starting from just one unit.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
