The Growing Demand for Waterproof Testing

As products increasingly operate in outdoor, humid, or unpredictable environments, water ingress protection has become a critical factor in design validation and compliance. From mobile electronics to vehicle sensors and smart outdoor devices, waterproof testing is no longer optional—it’s a fundamental requirement for ensuring quality, reliability, and safety in real-world use.

The Problem with Conventional Testing Setups

Traditional waterproof testing often relies on multiple standalone devices to cover the full IPX spectrum. For example, one machine may be used for drip tests (IPX1/2), another for rain simulation (IPX3/4), and yet another for high-pressure water jets (IPX5/6). This fragmented approach comes with clear downsides:

- High equipment investment
- Increased lab space consumption
- Tedious setup changes between tests
- Inconsistent results and operator fatigue

In fast-paced production or certification environments, these limitations add complexity, delay, and cost.

LIB’s Integrated Solution: One System, All Tests

To solve these challenges, LIB introduces a multi-functional waterproof testing machine that consolidates all IPX1 to IPX6 testing into a single automated platform. Rather than switching between different systems, users can perform every standard water test from one compact unit—saving time, space, and resources.

This integration enables seamless workflow while maintaining strict compliance with IEC 60529 and other global standards. It's an ideal solution for manufacturers, third-party labs, and R&D teams seeking reliable, repeatable waterproof testing.

Deep Integration: What This Waterproof Testing Machine Can Do

Each waterproof test method is built directly into the machine, allowing precise execution without manual reconfiguration. The waterproof testing machine supports:

IPX Level	Testing Method	Integrated Function	Corresponding Accessories
IPX1 & IPX2	Drip test (vertical/inclined)	Controlled dripping via a calibrated drip box, including sample inclination adjustment up to 15°
IPX3 & IPX4	Rain simulation	Rain simulation using an oscillating spray tube (±60° or ±180°) and optional handheld spray nozzle
IPX5 & IPX6	Water jet test	High-pressure jet testing with Ø6.3 mm and Ø12.5 mm nozzles, delivering up to 12.5 L/min

No external connections. No equipment change.

Intelligent Operation for Accurate Testing

The machine’s heart is its touchscreen programmable controller, which simplifies and streamlines operation. Users can easily select test standards, adjust spray parameters, set durations, and monitor status—all through a single interface.

This level of automation eliminates manual error and ensures consistent water flow, timing, pressure, and oscillation angles. Whether running one-off tests or daily batch checks, the system delivers high repeatability with minimal operator input.

Professional Design for Real-World Lab Use

LIB’s waterproof tester is engineered with the practical needs of busy labs in mind. Its construction and utility features reflect real-world testing conditions:

- SUS304 stainless steel body resists corrosion, extending equipment life
- Closed-loop water circulation with auto drainage keeps operation clean and efficient
- Integrated sample stand allows flexible positioning with adjustable height and rotation

This robust build ensures long-term durability, especially in high-usage or multi-shift environments.

Serving a Wide Range of Applications

Thanks to its versatility and full coverage, this machine is suitable for a broad range of products and sectors:

- Consumer electronics: phones, earbuds, wearables
- Automotive components: lights, sensors, control modules
- Lighting systems: outdoor LED fixtures, switch housings
- Industrial enclosures: control panels, field equipment

Wherever water resistance matters, this system provides a lab-ready solution.

Flexible Configurations for Your Needs

Every test requirement is unique, and LIB supports customizations to fit specific applications. Whether you're testing compact devices or large enclosures, the system can be configured for:

- Chamber size adjustments
- Increased water flow or pressure capability
- Modified nozzles or fixture mounts
- Enhanced automation or data logging features
