Robot–Drone–IPX16 Rain Test Plan

Project Background

When robots operate outdoors, especially under adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, rainwater can damage electronic components, sensors, and other critical parts, potentially causing short circuits. To safeguard the robot’s stability and extend its service life, it is essential to implement an appropriate rain‑exposure testing protocol. Yuexin specializes in IP‑rated waterproof testing equipment. In the initial phase, our experienced engineers conduct on-site assessments at the customer’s facility, evaluating the test environment and aligning it with the customer’s specific testing requirements—such as specimen dimensions and desired test levels—to deliver a comprehensive IPX1–6 rain‑test chamber solution that complies with national standards including GB 4208‑2017, ISO 20653, and IEC 60529.

Scheme Introduction

[Comprehensive Capabilities] The testing suite covers all waterproof rating tests, including the IPX1 vertical dripping test, the IPX2 15° inclined dripping test, the IPX3 rain‑spray test, the IPX4 splash‑proof test, the IPX5 water‑jet test, and the IPX6 powerful water‑jet test.

【Optimal Layout】Based on the customer’s actual site layout, space is utilized efficiently, with each machine operating independently and spaced appropriately to provide ample working clearance. The water‑supply piping is routed from the main water system, with pipes laid parallel along wall corners to avoid crossings or clutter; electrical cables are enclosed in uniform insulated conduits to ensure operator safety.
