HW Reliability Laboratory

HW Reliability laboratory overview

TESTiLABS has a wide range of mechanical test equipment to cover most of the relevant EN/IEC, ISO and MIL standard tests among others. Equipment includes a vibration shaker, guided free fall testers with high speed video camera and random free fall testers. Our laboratory also has test equipment to perform different modes of wearing and hardness testing.

With our long experience in developing innovative testing solutions, we can create testing conditions that are tailored to match your final end-user environment. For example, in long lasting cycling tests, we can utilize our pneumatic based test solutions and also our programmable robot.

Physical failure analysis equipment

TESTiLABS has broad range of analysis test equipment to determine the cause of physical failures. The most sophisticated equipment is Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectrometer), which can be used for elemental composition analyses and very high resolution imaging. Other valuable equipment to find the root cause of failures includes:
