IPX3-6 Waterproof Test Chamber
1. Introduction
IPX3-6 waterproof test chamber combines the oscillating tube with jet hose nozzles in one system, it meets the requirement of IEC60529 regarding the IP level IPX3, IPX4, IPX5 and IPX6. Waterproof test simulates the condition of water jets and powerful water jets, which is mainly applied to electronic products, luminaire, electric components, motor and house-holding appliance. The waterproof test can help to judge the products’ performance, and provide the basis for design, improve and inspect.
The inner box and turntable is made by SUS304 stainless steel with thickness of 1.2mm, which can against the water impact. The outer box is made of high quality steel covered with paint. Built in water tank and with ball valve to control water level, the water can be recycled. The system is controlled by Panasonic PLC and 7 inch touch screen, user is easy to operate the tests.
2. Features
● Used for IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6 waterproof testing
● The shell is made of high-quality steel plate, and the surface is sprayed with paint.
● The inner box and turntable are made of SUS304# to make sure it will not rust for long time use.
● The oscillating tube is driven by Chinese branded servo motor, speed and angle can be adjusted accurately.
●The water filter is installed on water supply line, which can filter impurities in water and prevent the nozzle from block.
●Jet hose nozzles strictly designed according to IEC60529, Φ6.3mm nozzle for IPX5, Φ12.5mm for IPX6. The test distance is 2.5m. The nozzles is controlled by stepper motor to swing up and down, this function can make sure the surface of the specimen is almost be all sprayed.
● The turntable is driven by stepper motor, the speed can be preset on touch screen, and can control forward and reverse rotation to fit for live test.
● The inner box is installed with outlet-outlet for specimen (AC 220V/10A) to support live test, on and off time is controlled within 0-999min (on)~0-999min (off) , which is applied to on-off test.
● Built-in water tank, the water can be recycled, and no need to build a professional waterproof test room. The water level is controlled by ball valve with alarm. High and low water level alarm monitoring, effectively prevent the water pump from being damaged due to lack of water
● Transparent observation window made of toughened glass material, working chamber equipped with LED lighting, user can observe the specimen during the test.
● Controller: Adopts 7 inch touch screen and Panasonic PLC.
● Preset IPX3, IPX4, IPX5 and IPX6 test procedures, users only need to select the waterproof level, and the equipment will perform the test in accordance with the standard requirements.
