🔧 Key Features & Hardware
-
🖥️
1. Control System Display a touchscreen PLC controller (such as from Siemens or our own development), emphasizing the simplicity of programming.
-
🔥
2. Heating System Bottom heater of the funnel to prevent dust from getting damp and clumping (this is crucial for testing stability).
-
📳
3. Vibration System Automatic vibration device to ensure that the dust falls back to the bottom for recycling after the test.
-
🔍
4. Observation Window Tempered glass observation window with a water remover/dust removal brush, facilitating real-time monitoring of the testing process.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
-
1. What are the differences between IP5X and IP6X tests?IP5X (Dust-Protected): A small amount of dust can enter, but the amount is not sufficient to affect the normal operation of the equipment.
IP6X (Dust-Tight): Completely dust-proof. During the test, the box will be evacuated to ensure that no dust can enter the enclosure. -
2. Is the dust chamber test and the sand/dust test the same thing?Strictly speaking, it's not the case. The Dust test uses extremely fine talcum powder, emphasizing protective performance; while the Sand test (such as MIL-STD-810) uses quartz sand, which is coarser in particle size, and focuses on the abrasion and impact damage caused by sand and stones. We can provide a combined-type device that takes both aspects into account according to your specific needs.
-
3. How to maintain the machine on a daily basis?1. After each test, remove the excessive dust from the bottom of the box.
2. Regularly check the oil level of the vacuum pump.
3. Inspect the sealing strips for any wear and ensure the airtightness.
4. Keep the environment of the PLC controller dry. -
4. What industries is the TA-FC-12m³ dust test chamber suitable for?The chamber is widely used across multiple industries including automotive (headlights, sensors, door locks), electronic communication (outdoor base stations, phone casings), power equipment (outdoor cabinets, electricity meters), and military/aerospace applications involving electronic components in extreme environments.
-
5. What type of dust is used in the test and why?Dry talc powder is used, with square pores of 75μm and a metal wire diameter of 50μm that can pass through a sieve. Talc powder is chosen because of its fine particle size and consistent physical properties, which allows for standardized and repeatable test conditions as defined by IEC 60529 and GB/T 4208 standards.
-
6. Can the test duration and parameters be customized?Yes. The chamber operates in program mode via an embedded large-screen LCD touchscreen controller. Both vibration time and dust blowing time are fully adjustable from 1 second to 999 hours, allowing flexible test configurations to meet different product testing requirements and international standards.
