Vibration & Thermal Chambers for Combined Stress, Component Validation

Our Vibration & Thermal Chambers are the definitive solution for accelerated, multi-stress testing and comprehensive Component Validation. This integrated system seamlessly combines a high-performance vibration shaker with a precision thermal chamber, allowing engineers to subject components to the most realistic and punishing operational environments. By accurately simulating the synergistic stresses of dynamic mechanical loads and temperature extremes, our chambers are an indispensable tool for identifying latent defects, accelerating reliability growth, and guaranteeing the long-term durability of critical components.

Key Features

• Integrated Multi-Stress Testing: Conducts simultaneous vibration and temperature testing in a single, streamlined operation. This combined-stress approach is crucial for uncovering failure modes caused by the interaction of thermal fatigue and dynamic vibration, which single-factor tests often miss.

• Precision Vibration Control: Our electrodynamic shaker provides accurate, repeatable, and controlled generation of complex vibration profiles (sine, random, shock, etc.), ensuring components are tested against realistic operational stresses.

• Wide-Range Thermal Chamber: The chamber offers a broad spectrum of temperature capabilities (e.g., from $-70^circ C$ to $+180^circ C$) and can be equipped with humidity control. This enables testing under the full range of climatic conditions your components might face globally.

• Advanced Integrated Control System: A powerful, intuitive controller seamlessly synchronizes the shaker with the thermal chamber, allowing for the precise programming and execution of complex, multi-variable test sequences, such as Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) profiles.

• Comprehensive Data Acquisition: The system continuously monitors and records all environmental parameters (temperature) and vibration data (acceleration, displacement), providing detailed, synchronized insights and auditable data for analysis.

• Robust & Durable Construction: Built with industrial-grade components and a reinforced structure, the system is designed for longevity and reliability under continuous, demanding combined-stress operation.

• Versatile Fixturing: Our engineering team designs and manufactures application-specific fixtures to securely mount diverse components, optimizing stress transmission and ensuring test integrity.

Applications

• Automotive Components: Durability and reliability testing of ECUs, sensors, lighting assemblies, and small battery modules against combined road vibration and temperature extremes.

• Electronics & Semiconductors: Accelerated stress screening of PCBs, connectors, and sensitive devices against combined thermal and dynamic stresses to identify early-life failures.

• Aerospace Components: Qualification of avionics, actuators, and structural sub-assemblies for performance under combined flight vibrations and temperature cycling.

• Medical Devices: Reliability testing of sensitive electronic and mechanical components used in critical medical equipment.

• Product Development: Accelerated stress testing on prototypes to quickly find design weaknesses and reduce time-to-market.

Benefits

• Accelerated Reliability Growth: Rapidly uncovers design and manufacturing flaws, allowing for quick iteration and significant improvement in component reliability.

• Unrivaled Test Realism: Provides the most accurate and comprehensive assessment of component performance by simulating synergistic stresses, leading to fewer field failures.

• Reduced Time-to-Market: Speeds up the development cycle by identifying issues early, minimizing costly redesigns and retesting.

• Comprehensive Validation: Generates the robust, synchronized data necessary for meeting stringent industry and regulatory standards.
