Reliability Test
Whether you’re designing new equipment or modifying existing equipment, with accelerated reliability test techniques you can get a reliable product to market faster.
Using our technical expertise, coupled with new HALT/HASS techniques, we can cost-effectively put your product through its paces to find its performance and production screening limitations. These new techniques use environmental stresses to stimulate failures rather than simulating use environments. The focus of testing is to rapidly produce failures in a meaningful way, analyze them and suggest corrective action to increase product robustness and durability.
The purpose of Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) is to optimize product reliability by identifying the functional and destructive limits of your product.
You benefit in two ways from this experience:
- You receive a thorough evaluation of the weakest links in the design at the lowest possible cost
- You establish the safe stress limits for production screening
The purpose of Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) is to expose your product to optimized production screens without effecting product reliability.
This means you can:
- Schedule effective production screens that precipitate defective products in a fraction of the time
- Provide a more controlled production process
- Reduce the risk of having defective products reach your customers
- Evaluate the cost impact of warranty provisions
SEA can make HALT/HASS work for you because of our combined experience in designing for reliability, product reliability analysis, product thermal analysis, ESS planning and implementation, HALT and HASS planning and implementation, reliability growth & demonstration testing, MIL-Spec environmental testing and failure analysis.
SEA provides complete end-to-end HALT / HASS test fixtures solutions including board level, power supply and system level solutions.
Our text fixtures team will help you to:
- Develop a concept.
- Provide a design.
- Fabricate it.
- Verify its operation.
Additionally, we will:
- Provide all documentation to load the fixture in and out of the chamber.
- Integrate the test supervisor with the unit under test (UUT).
- Run the fixture test.
- Automate the test data collection.
