How We Perform the Vibration Test on Our POS Terminal

Vibration testing is an important part of our quality-control process. Before we ship any POS terminal, we make sure it can safely handle the bumps, shakes, and movement that happen during transportation. This test helps us detect and fix issues especially loose cables before the product reaches our customers.

Why Vibration Testing Is Important

During shipping, products often face continuous vibration from vehicles, handling, and long travel distances. Without testing, internal cables or connectors may loosen, causing the terminal to malfunction later.
By performing vibration testing, we ensure:

All internal cables stay firmly connected
The device remains stable even under continuous shaking
The POS terminal arrives in perfect working condition
Long-term reliability of the product

Step-by-Step Vibration Test Procedure

Here is how we carry out the vibration test on our POS terminal:

1. Setting the Initial Speed

We begin by placing the POS terminal on the vibration machine. The machine is first set to a speed of 40 units. This low starting speed helps us monitor how the device behaves and ensures there are no immediate issues.

2. Gradually Increasing the Speed

After confirming the device is stable at low speed, the vibration level is slowly increased. The speed is raised to 170–180, following European testing standards. This range simulates strong vibration similar to what can happen during long-distance transportation.

3. Running the Test for 1–2 Days

Once the speed reaches the target level, the POS terminal is kept on the vibration platform for one to two full days.
This long-duration test helps us:

Observe any slow-developing issues
Check if screws, connectors, or cables loosen over time
Ensure the device continues to function properly during vibration

What We Look For During the Test

Throughout the vibration test, our team checks:

Internal cable stability
Screen performance
Power connection
Noise or unusual behavior
Structural movement or loose parts

If we detect any loose cable or screw, it is corrected immediately and the design is improved so the issue does not happen again.

Conclusion

After completing the vibration test, only devices that remain stable and fully functional are approved for packaging and shipment. This helps us deliver a durable and reliable POS terminal to every customer. Vibration testing is a key part of our quality assurance.

By simulating real-world transportation conditions, we make sure our POS terminals are safe, strong, and ready to use the moment they reach you. This careful testing process protects the product from damage and ensures long-lasting performance.
