The team was easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and truly committed to our success. Marty, Vic , Soliman, and even the accounting team provided us with white glove service. Not to mention that their facility is truly impressive!
We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again, in fact we are looking forward to it!
The Challenge: Standard Testing Only Shows You Part of the Picture
Traditional environmental testing is designed to see if a product can pass a specific standard. But what are the true limits of your design? Where is the weakest link? Waiting for field failures to get this data is too late and too costly. To build a truly robust product, you need to find the breaking points before it leaves the lab.
Our Accelerated Testing Process for Maximum Reliability
Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) are aggressive testing methods designed to do one thing: find weaknesses fast. Using our industry-leading Thermotron AST-70 chamber, we expose your product to stresses far beyond its expected field environment.
- Extreme Thermal Ramp Rates: We subject your device to rapid temperature changes exceeding 50°C per minute, exposing latent defects in components, solder joints, and materials that standard thermal cycling would miss.
- High-Grms Random Vibration: Our repetitive shock vibration table applies high-performance random vibration up to 50 Grms. This is applied simultaneously with thermal stress to effectively simulate complex, real-world conditions and reveal latent design flaws.
- A Proven Methodology for Reliability Growth:
- HALT (During Development): We test your prototypes to failure, systematically finding the weakest components and providing the data you need to improve the design.
- HASS (During Production): We screen your production units with a less intense but still rigorous stress profile to catch any manufacturing defects or component variations before they ship to customers.
