1. Environmental simulation
Environmental simulation plays an important role, particularly in the development phase or in the event of product modifications. It is also increasingly used for the purposes of qualification or re-qualification of products. Specifically, our spectrum includes:
- Temperature tests [temperatures from -65° to +180°C]
- Climatic tests [temperatures from -40° to +180° and relative humidity from 10% to 98%, e.g. ESPEC environmental test chambers]
- Thermal shock [2-chamber system]
- Vibration test [sine, broadband noise, mechanical shock]
2. Error analysis
We offer the following services in the field of error analysis:
- Mechanical/optical measurement of prototypes, printed circuit boards, plastics and mechanical components
- Hardness [Microshore D, Shore A]: Measurement of rubber, plastics and cast resin
- Pressure/tension: Measurement of extraction force, shear force, switching point, etc.
- X-ray analysis: Inspection of electronic components, mechanical parts, inductors, etc.
- Physical and chemical analyses
Coating thickness on PCBs, x-ray fluorescence
Organic/inorganic contamination
Microscopy: up to 1200x with camera
Image processing incl. microscope
Weighing equipment 1 mg, e.g. for seal tests
Chemical and mechanical abrasion tests, e.g. for paints and varnishes
Soldering scales 1 mN Soldering point qualification
Micrograph creation
3. Performance of audits
4. Safety releases
- Hazard assessment CE, HV/PE
- Product certification UL, CSA, TÜV, etc.
5. Standard and patent research
6. Supervision of test media
7. Prevention tools
- FMEA, product audits, type inspection for procured parts
