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.

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.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I’m worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask that customers arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. 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 or download the catalog.

Hotron, which manufactures and sells sensors, provides bed exit sensors for hospitals, nursing, and care facilities. Hotron offers easy-to-understand video guidance on how to use the bed exit sensors wirelessly and how to set up device connections! ▼ Video Manual (YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNVA4mTrZDqtJa6MfFRZQxwtfCSnAfxVy 【Bed Exit Sensors】 ○ Non-contact infrared sensor, simply place it - Pole-kun HB-H1 ○ Mat sensor, foldable thin mat - Mat-kun HB-UST ○ Body movement call - Ugo-kun HB-TV3 ○ Body movement call for wheelchairs - Ayumi-chan HB-WTV3 【Options】 ○ Nurse call linked wireless set - Wireless set (transmitter/receiver) HB-RS/HB-RJ ◎ For more information about the products, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used.
