Under normal conditions it may take years to gather failure data on the life cycle of new products. Through accelerated life testing the overall time to failure can be reduced to weeks by increasing the frequency of the field loads and by removing insignificant stress components. In addition, life cycle testing on a product can be reduced or accelerated dramatically by increasing the stress levels to higher than normal. Putting a product through Accelerated Life Testing can reduce test time from weeks to days while still achieving satisfactory results saving both time and money.

Life Cycle & Fatigue Testers

Switches can use all these operations. Membrane switches, keyboards and keypads will all require a push with a known force. On/Off switches will combine a push and a pull or possibly push on, push off. A rocker switch and toggle switches will require a push in two different places. Rotary switches (and volume controls, potentiometers) need to be rotated clockwise and counter clockwise The standard life cycle and fatigue tester the B886 Simon System has been designed for life cycle and fatigue testing of switches, membrane switches, keyboards and keypads. It contains all the components needed to life and fatigue test a products that need to be pushed. We can also supply different actuators for a push, pull, rocker, toggle, volume control or rotary switch.

Solar Radiation (Sunshine) Test

-

Aero Nav Laboratories, Inc.

Aero Nav Laboratories, Inc.

This test determines the effects of direct solar radiation on components and material. The heating effects of solar radiation differ from those of high air temperature in that the amount of heat absorbed depends on the roughness and color of the surface on which the radiation is incident and the angle of incidence to the sun. Variations in the intensity of solar radiation over the surface of the component, may cause components to expand or contract at different rates, which can lead to severe stresses and loss of structural integrity. In addition, degradation due to photo-chemical changes can occur such as fading of color, deterioration of natural and synthetic elastomers and polymers. The test items that are subjected to solar radiation testing are those that are exposed to solar radiation during its life cycle, in the open, in warm climates.

Electrical Safety Testing

LXinstruments GmbH

LXinstruments GmbH

Manufacturers and operators of electrical equipment are required to carry out an electrical safety test within the framework of the applicable regulations. This is to prevent accidents caused by malfunctions in electrical equipment, such as fire, explosion as well as injuries and personal damage. The tests to be carried out are specified in national (VDE/DIN) and international (EN/IEC) standards. After passing the test, the product is considered safe for the entire life cycle, provided it is left in its original condition and used for its intended purpose.
