ドローンケース B2B 調達ガイド:UAV オペレーター向けカスタムフォーム、IP67、MIL-STD (2026)
ドローンオペレーターは USD 5,000-150,000 の UAV およびアクセサリー機器を過酷な環境に持ち運んでいます。ケースは機器と30-フィートのコンクリートへの落下の間の唯一のものです。これが 2026 B2B 調達ガイドです。
なぜドローンケースは特別な B2B カテゴリなのか
Drone cases carry high-value equipment into vibration, dust, water, and shock environments that consumer cases cannot survive.
Commercial drone fleets carry USD 20,000-150,000 of UAV, gimbal, batteries, RTK module, ground control station, and accessories per operator. A single drop event can destroy USD 30,000 of equipment in 0.5 seconds.
Drone operations span surveying (DJI Matrice 350, Autel EVO II), cinematography (Sony Venice + drone gimbal), inspection (thermal + visual), public safety (SAR), and agriculture (multispectral). Each application has different foam cutout requirements.
Standard consumer cases (Pelican Storm, Gator) work for one or two drones but break down for multi-drone fleets with batteries, controllers, and accessories. B2B buyers need OEM foam cutouts to match specific equipment sets.
ドローン運用の 3 つのケースカテゴリ
Drone cases fall into three categories by equipment scale.
- Single-drone case (one drone + 2-3 batteries + controller): Compact size, 450x350x180mm typical. Stock SKU from factory fits DJI Mavic 3 / Autel EVO Nano. USD 95-150 stock, USD 110-180 OEM. Common for surveying and inspection.
- Multi-drone case (2-3 drones + 6+ batteries + controller + charger): Medium size, 600x450x250mm typical. Stock SKU with foam inserts. USD 130-220 stock, USD 150-250 OEM. Common for cinematography, search-and-rescue, agriculture.
- Full-fleet case (drone + gimbal + RTK + monitor + tools): Large case, 800x600x350mm typical. Custom OEM only — stock foam does not fit full-fleet. USD 220-400 stock case + USD 200-500 custom foam = USD 420-900 OEM. Common for industrial inspection, military, defence.
ドローンタイプ別フォームカットアウト
CNC foam cutouts must match the exact drone model and accessories. Sample evaluation is critical.
DJI Matrice 350 RTK: 6 cavities — drone body, RC Plus controller, 4 TB65 batteries (or 2 + charger), RTK module, payload (H20T / L1 / P1), charging hub. Foam density 35 kg/m³ PE.
DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise: 4 cavities — drone body, RC Pro Enterprise controller, 3 batteries, charging hub. Foam density 30-35 kg/m³ PU.
Autel EVO II 8K: 3 cavities — drone body, controller, 2-3 batteries. Foam density 30 kg/m³ PU.
Sony Venice + drone gimbal combo (cinematography): 5+ cavities — camera body, gimbal, follow focus, monitor, accessories. Foam density 35-40 kg/m³ PU high-density.
Submit your equipment list with 3D drawings (STEP / IGES preferred) or physical samples for factory to draft cavity layout. Sample lead time 7-10 days; first production 10-14 days.
IP67、MIL-STD-810G、圧力平衡弁
Drone cases need IP67 minimum. MIL-STD-810G for field ruggedness. Pressure-equalisation valve for altitude changes.
IP67: protects against temporary immersion (1m / 30 min). Required for surveying operations in coastal, marine, or rainy environments. Standard for our drone case SKU range.
MIL-STD-810G drop test: drone cases are dropped frequently (helicopter cargo, truck beds, parachute drops). 26 drops from 1.2m onto plywood over concrete is the standard test. Required for defence / SAR / inspection operations.
Pressure-equalisation valve: allows air pressure to equalise between case interior and external atmosphere. Critical for drone operations involving altitude changes (helicopter cargo, mountain surveying). Without the valve, the case may "pop" open on descent or become impossible to open on ascent.
Automatic pressure-equalisation valves are standard on our IP67 drone cases. Manual purge valves available for subsea ROVs.
バッテリーの取り扱いと保管
Lithium drone batteries require special handling under UN 38.3 + IATA +49°C thermal test. Verify before procurement.
Lithium drone batteries (TB65, TB51, Mavic 3 Intelligent Flight Battery) must comply with UN 38.3 transportation testing for shipping. The case itself must allow batteries to be transported safely within the foam cutout.
Best practice: batteries in foam cutout with cavity separation to prevent contact. No loose batteries. Charging hub integrated into foam cutout.
Heat: batteries self-heat during operation. Case foam must allow heat dissipation. Convoluted PU on lid for thermal isolation. Avoid sealed foam that traps heat.
For shipping: drone + batteries in case qualifies as "contained battery" under IATA Section II. No special dangerous goods declaration needed if case is properly labelled and batteries <100Wh each.
MOQ、リードタイム、価格階層
Drone case procurement falls into three pricing tiers. Match tier to programme size.
Tier 1 (Stock SKU + add-on foam): MOQ 50-100 cases, USD 95-180/unit, 7-15 days production + 18-35 days sea freight. For pilot programmes, agency buyers, regional distributors.
Tier 2 (Custom OEM on stock mould): MOQ 100-300 cases, USD 130-280/unit (case + custom foam), 30-45 days production. For branding programmes, OEM tool kit assembly, mid-volume distributors.
Tier 3 (New mould for full custom): MOQ 1,000+ cases amortised over 12-24 months, USD 100-220/unit post-amortisation, 60-90 days mould + 30-45 days production. For brand-owned drone programmes (DJI enterprise partners, military contractors).
調達ワークフロー:エンドツーエンド 4-6 週間
A typical drone case custom OEM order takes 4-6 weeks from inquiry to delivery.
- Day 1-3: Equipment list + 3D drawings. Buyer submits drone models, accessories, batteries, controller specs with 3D files or physical samples.
- Day 4-7: Quote + cavity design. Factory reviews equipment list, drafts cavity layout in CAD, quotes case + foam + setup fee.
- Day 8-14: Sample production. Stock case fitted with sample foam inserts produced via CNC. Sample fee USD 200-500 refundable against order ≥ 1,000 pieces.
- Day 15-21: Sample shipment + evaluation. DHL air freight USD 30-80 to most destinations. Buyer evaluates foam fit, case handling, latch operation.
- Day 22-30: Production tooling prep. For stock mould: 3-5 days change. For new mould: 25-30 days CNC + EDM.
- Day 31-75: Mass production + foam install. 30-45 day production for 100-1,000 piece MOQ. Foam installed inline. IP67 batch test.
- Day 76-110: Ship + deliver. Sea freight FOB Shenzhen / FOB Ningbo 18-35 days. Total 4-8 weeks door-to-door excluding customs.
よくある調達ミス
Five mistakes cost drone case B2B buyers 20-40% of programme value. Avoid them upfront.
- Mistake 1: Buying stock case without foam fit check. Stock case foam does not fit the precise drone geometry. Equipment shifts in transit, breaking connectors.
- Mistake 2: Forgetting the controller and accessories. Drone + 4 batteries without controller / charger = useless case. Equipment list must include all gear.
- Mistake 3: Wrong foam density. 30 kg/m³ PU bottoms out under drone weight. Use 35-40 kg/m³ for industrial UAVs.
- Mistake 4: Skipping pressure valve. Drone cases without pressure-equalisation valve fail on helicopter cargo or mountain altitude changes.
- Mistake 5: No pressure-relief for batteries. Sealed foam traps battery heat. Convoluted PU lid for thermal management.
