2 Ch Linear Vibration Motor Tester
BK2120C2
If it's not broke, break it. And when our BK2120C was a top selling product, we redesigned it. We took all the feedback from our customers and implemented it with a modular design to come up with a system that is more versitile, easier to use, and easier to set up. The core concept is the same; the BK2120C runs up to 4 vibration sweeps, which you define, to check whether your linear vibration motor is within the limits you set. And now you can set up your own feedback so it's even easier to determine the class of pass or the reason for failure. You still get fast, high quality testing for your linear vibration motors on the product line. And it's still versitile enough to be used for QA or QC as well.

AOI & SPI, Test Systems
SigmaX SPI
Most defects in the circuit-board assembly are due to the solder paste or the process of printing solder paste. Since the transition to lead-free soldering, a whole new spectrum of problems has emerged in older paste printing and its due processes. Incomplete coalescence of ball grid array (BGA) spheres and solder paste deposits are failure modes that have increased in frequency since the transition to lead-free soldering. The SigmaXs inspection technology is unaffected by varying materials, surface conditions, or colors. The system profiles the board to generate accurate 3D shapes far superior to other brands and technologies.

Managed Ethernet Switches
CommFront offers a range of rugged, industrial-grade, managed and unmanaged Ethernet Switches. These Industrial Ethernet Switches have been designed for harsh industrial environments and withstand a wide temperature of -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C), and they come with the options of 10/100/1000M for both Fast and Gigabit Ethernet networks. In addition, our advanced, rugged, industrial-grade, Fast and Gigabit Ethernet Switches support both point-to-point and multi-drop (daisy-chain or self-healing redundant ring) fiber optic networks, which are designed to cover large areas. These industrial Ethernet Switches support up to 255 fiber nodes, and each fiber node can extend the Fast and Gigabit Ethernet data up to 100 miles or 160 km. When configured as a ring network, the built-in self-healing feature allows the Ethernet data to be transmitted clockwise or counterclockwise; therefore, failure of any individual converter will not affect other devices located on the same ring, making the entire Ethernet network more robust and reliable.

Bolt Extensometers for Proof Load Testing
Model 3565
Jinan Testing Equipment IE Corporation
The Model 3565 uses hard conical points to contact the bolt at the center of the head and at the bottom. It is fully adjustable for different length bolts ranging from 25 mm (1 inch) in length to 150 mm (6 inches) standard. Extension beams are available for longer bolts. The standard maximum measuring range is 1.25 mm (0.05 inches). Generally, on longer bolts this extensometer will be self-supported without requiring any centering marks or punch marks on the bolt. For shorter bolts these marks may be required. If the conical pins are sharp, marks are often not needed even on the shortest bolts.The extensometer has a zero adjustment screw to adjust the length between the contact pins. This is used to set the output voltage to zero, which corresponds to the correct starting position for the test. It also includes a breakaway lower arm. In the event a bolt should fail, the breakaway arm snaps free, helping to prevent damage to the extensometer. This is easily re-installed. In the event that bolt failures are likely during a test, it is recommended the user attach a cord around the upper part of the beam and tie the other end to the test frame to prevent the extensometer from falling. The conical point contacts included with the extensometer are made from tungsten carbide.The Model 3565 extensometers are strain gaged devices, making them compatible with any electronics designed for strain gaged transducers. Most often they are connected to a test machine controller. The signal conditioning electronics for the extensometer is typically included with the test machine controller or may often be added. In this case the extensometer is shipped with the proper connector and wiring to plug directly into the electronics. For systems lacking the required electronics, Epsilon can provide a variety of solutions, allowing the extensometer output to be connected to data acquisition boards, chart recorders or other equipment.

Combined Environmental Reliability Test System
VTC SERIES
HALT/HASS testing challenges the design, components, sub-assemblies and final assemblies of today's manufactured products. Stresses are applied through a number of conditions to set operational limits and ultimately precipitate failure in the HALT/HASS test environment. Rapid thermal change rate is one of the classic conditions that facilitate product stress.VTC Series chambers are equipped with an LN2 cooling system, with modulating valve and directed air flow to the product, provides the rapid thermal change rates required to achieve maximum product stress. Additionally, these rates are accomplished with smaller space requirements, lower audible noise, no water requirement, and lower maintenance costs than a typical refrigeration system.
