Mistral Keypad Test System

All user interface assemblies manufactured are 100% tested on a Mistral keypad test system. Electrical and mechanical parameters are tested. Electrical tests include switch resistance and bounce. Permanent connection resistance down to a milliohm and isolation resistance to 20M Ohms to an accuracy of +/-2%. The equipment measures LED forward voltage (turn-on state) and reverse leakage current (current present when an LED is in a reverse polarity state). The system is also capable of switch life cycle testing with full logging capability of test data which can be provided to customer by request.

Custom Designed Test Equipment

If required we have the capability to design and build custom test sets for certain products. Specifically, for certain high voltage motor controller applications that require to be run under load simulation. Whatever your test requirements are, we will work with you to ensure all products are 100% tested.

TestEquity 1007

The TestEquity 1007 cycling environmental chamber is used for certain high reliability applications to provide Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) capable of -73°C to +175°C temperature ranges. ESS is a proven method for eliminating latent defects in components to ensure military and aerospace customers receive only the most reliable, quality product. The equipment is certified by an A2LA accredited lab that is capable of meeting all testing requirements for military and aerospace applications that are exposed to harsh environments.

Thomson 90 Ton Clamshell Press

The Thomson press is used for die-cutting and embossing processes. In-house die-cutting and embossing capability is instrumental in supporting an aggressive delivery schedule. We have over 25 years of experience designing and manufacturing custom overlays and membrane switches for user interfaces. In that time we have designed more than 1,000 custom embossing and cutting dies.

Meiji Stereo Zoom Microscopes

The ability to solder the smallest surface mount technology (SMT) components by utilizing stereo zoom microscopes is available. The assembly team has been trained specifically in soldering techniques performed by this method. Operating under high magnification ensures that we produce high quality work for the smallest SMD components.
