Arcade game manufacturers subject their products to extreme testing regimens that simulate years of operation in just weeks. Specialized robotic equipment repeatedly activates buttons, joysticks, and trackballs with precise force measurements, performing millions of cycles beyond normal usage patterns. Environmental stress testing exposes cabinets to temperature extremes, humidity fluctuations, and UV radiation to assess material degradation. Impact resistance tests simulate accidental kicks, spills, and vandalism using pendulum devices and pressure mapping systems. Electrical components undergo surge testing and continuous operation cycles while monitoring for performance degradation. Manufacturers employ accelerated life testing (ALT) methods that compress years of wear into condensed timeframes through increased frequency and intensity of use. These comprehensive protocols help identify failure points and ensure arcade machines can withstand the demanding environment of public venues where machines might operate 18+ hours daily. Data collected from these tests informs design improvements and component selection, ultimately extending the operational lifespan of arcade equipment while minimizing maintenance requirements for operators.
