Dynamics Testing
Keystone Compliance is a drop test lab capable of testing products to the drop testing requirements of various test standards including the random drop test in MIL-STD 202. Our drop test machine is capable of precise drops from different heights at different angles and onto different surfaces. Our three shakers can simulate loose cargo test conditions that might be experienced as a product is in transit.

Drop Testing
Drop testing, per MIL-STD 202 Method 203, is used to determine the effects on component parts of random drops tested and repeated impact due to handling, shipping, and other field service conditions. This drop testing is an accelerated test designed to indicate structural and mechanical weaknesses of types not necessarily detected in shock and vibration tests. Package drop testing can help determine the survivability of a product’s packaging and help manufacturers identify potential warranty issues from poor packaging or improper handling instructions.

Shock Testing
Keystone Compliance offers shock testing on our electrodynamic shakers as well as through the use of our pneumatic shock machine. Additionally, Keystone Compliance possesses the necessary equipment to produce and analyze Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) shock events. The latest revisions of many federal and military specifications are requiring, or offering, shock response spectrum as an alternative to typical classical shock testing.

Vibration Testing
Vibration testing is essential to determining the ability of a product to withstand the conditions that it might experience either during operation or transit. As important as vibration testing is, selecting the right vibration lab to work with is even more important. It is common for units to be over-tested or improperly fixtured. An incorrect fixture can either mask problems with a unit or create a failures that do not actually exist. Proper vibration fixturing is crucial and something that the dynamics testing team at Keystone Compliance is very experienced with.
