Thermotron Hosts HALT & HASS Seminars in China
Thermotron introduces Innovative High Performance EXTREME AST Systems for HALT & HASS

HOLLAND, MI, October 16, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Thermotron recently conducted two well attended HALT & HASS seminars in Shenzhen and Shanghai China in conjunction with TTE International. Over 250 attendees received information on the topics of HALT & HASS Accelerated Stress Testing.

In addition, companies representing a wide range of market segments were introduced to Thermotron's new EXTREME AST products. EXTREME AST uses an innovative and patented vibration system capable of shaping the response spectrum and achieving acceleration levels in excess of 100 Grms and over 1,500 Gpk. The new multi-axis EXTREME AST shaker system is capable of providing three distinct modes of repetitive shock vibration in the High Frequency Mode, the Low Frequency Mode, and the Synchronized Shock Mode. Through patented advancements, the vibration system has complete and independent control over the frequency and amplitude of each impactor. Vibration response can be tailored and results are extremely consistent and uniform.

A further topic of the seminar was the presentation of a case study performed by Elite Electronics Engineering, an independent third party test lab. The case study concluded that the new EXTREME AST vibration successfully found failures in products that had not previously failed a traditional HALT test. Another finding of the case study was that failures could be found in shorter periods of time using higher acceleration levels.

Through the implementation of Accelerated Stress Testing techniques, companies are able to find and fix failures, making their products more reliable and robust. With the advancements of ETREME AST, they will be able to find more failures more quickly.
