Drone Maintenance and Quality Testing
Increase reliability, prevent failures and operate at top efficiency
Get a QuoteOur drone test stands allow you to keep track of performance changes over time through routine testing.
What Kinds of Maintenance and Quality Tests Can I Perform?
Examples:
- Diagnostic testing - run propulsion tests at scheduled intervals to monitor a system’s performance over time
- Safety test - demonstrate that your drone meets minimum safety criteria
- Environmental testing - test the system in different conditions to see how reliability is affected by heat, moisture, etc.
- Component endurance tests - determine the amount of use a component can undergo before declining or failing
- Pass or fail test - check if your motor stays within specifications after X hours of flight time.
- Drone Maintenance Log - develop a drone maintenance checklist
Reasons to Perform Drone Maintenance and Quality Testing
- Develop a drone maintenance checklist
- Increase the lifespan of drone batteries, brushless motors and propellers
- Improve safety and reliability
- Standardize your fleet
- Decrease customer support time
- Create accurate technical documents
How to Perform Maintenance and Quality Tests
- Set objectives for your test - Diagnostic testing? Safety testing? Environmental testing? etc.
- Open the RCbenchmark software and connect your propulsion system to your test stand
- Go to the 'Automatic Control' tab and select a pre-written script that aligns with your goals (step test, ramp test, etc.), or write your own test script
- Define the throttle points, hold times, and the number of test cycles required
- Click 'Run' and watch as your data comes in live, then export it as a .CSV file
- If necessary, repeat the process with a focus on each component, such as motors, propellers, batteries, controllers, etc.
