Thermotron Introduces Innovative Combined Environment Control System Rated at 12,000 lbf (53.4 kN) sine and random, the DSX-12000 Vibration Test System features best in class shock performance for low-frequency, high displacement tests with heavy product payloads. Completely air cooled and fully compatible with environmental test chambers the DSX-12000 supports payloads up to 1,500 Lbs (680 Kg).(Read More)
Thermotron Introduces Innovative Combined Environment Control System By integrating our powerful and easy to use 8800 controller with the unparalleled VCS-3200, Thermotron created a state-of-the-art control system ideal for customers performing combined environment testing using a large, widescreen color LCD monitor to display vibration control information on one half of the display and temperature control information on the other.(Read More)
New DSX Armature Size Provides High Acceleration TestingThermotron has been shaking up the shock and vibration industries with their new line of electrodynamic vibration test systems, the DSX Series. These high performance shakers feature superior acceleration, velocity, force, and shock performance. With most models able to achieve acceleration over 100 g, the DSX Series has been serving as a durable and versatile test system for a wide range of applications, including automotive shock and vibration testing, military transportation testing, avionics/aerospace vibration test requirements, and stress screening applications.(Read More)
Thermotron's New 8200 Programmer/ControllerThermotron is proud to offer the 8200 programmer/controller, a powerful instrument with an intuitive user interface specifically designed and refined for use with environmental test chambers. With a high resolution 7-inch (17.78 cm) color wide-screen touch-screen display, the 8200 has been developed for easy operation and data collection.(Read More)
Thermotron Adds Data Acquisition To Chamber LinesFor the past 40 years Thermotron has provided its customers state-of-the-art test equipment and controllers. The 8800 Programmer/Controller is unrivaled by any other controller in the market and now is even better thanks to the addition of the 8800 Data Acquisition (DAQ) system. The 8800 DAQ system greatly increases the product monitoring, control and data collection capabilities without the need for additional software or test equipment. (Read More)
Thermotron Chambers Turn Up The Heat On Reliability Manufacturers of electronics and components go to great lengths to miniaturize the parts and equipment they produce, giving us greater advances in technology and more precise equipment. However, the small size also causes increased concerns over safety and reliability of these miniaturized components. A smaller size makes these products particularly susceptible to thermal stress. Serious temperature stresses can be inflicted during the manufacturing process or during end use. Manufacturers are now turning to severe methods of environmental testing to ensure that these products are of high quality and reliability.(Read More)
Thermotron Chamber Finds Product and Design Deficiences FASTDesigned to perform accelerated stress testing on very large products, Thermotron's FAST chambers provide versatility and sophisticated combined environmental testing unlike other HALT/HASS chambers currently on the market. These chambers are able to perform extreme temperature, humidity and vibration tests inside a chamber ranging to 100 cu. ft. (2831.7 liters) allowing for quick discovery of product and design deficiencies.(Read More)
Thermotron Charges Up There are many reasons why more and more people are looking into fuel-efficient, cleaner-running cars. From soaring gas prices to national security and global warming, people around the world are beginning to turn to hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). While today's hybrid vehicles use nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries for energy storage, many in the automotive industry believe that lithium-ion batteries are soon to replace NiMH as the standard in HEV and plug-in HEVs.
