Temperature (and Humidity) Chambers, fabr. ESPEC, Global-N-Series
The increased quality of electronics and other products, coupled with mobile "on the go" applications, have caused manufacturers to demand more severe temperature stress tests that can catch product defects sooner. Further, global manufacturing operations require a test chamber that can be installed around the world for consistent results.
To meet this demand, ESPEC introduces a new Global-N-series of faster temperature cycling chambers. Two standard sizes of 380 or 800 Liters (12 and 28 cubic feet) are available, designed to require the least amount of floorspace for this level of performance. Several models are available with temperature changes as fast as 15K per minute. All models have aggressive, convective airflow to ensure faster product change rates, as well.

The Gas Mix System is a special built instrument for measuring diverse gas concentrations under various climatic conditions.
Various gases can be purged inside a gas mixture tank which is placed inside a temperature controllable area.
Gases can also be humidified by a very accurate humidification system.

Electric and electronic components are becoming increasingly smaller and of higher mounting density, and are being produced unter strict environmental controls. They are also exposed to various changes in temperature and humidity during storage, transport and use. These stresses can cause degradation of components due to the accumulation of moisture and repeated moisture absorption and evaporation.
Highly Accelerated Stress Testing (HAST), which offers highly precise moisture absorption conditions and short test time has attracted much attention as a method of evaluating and analyzing moisture-resistance.

ESPEC Temperature Chambers can be used in a wide range of applications, including high-temperature testing and manufacturing processes such as heat treatment and drying. The new, dedicated instrumentation for temperature chambers has a larger display area and provides improved operation.
In addition to the standard instrumentation that offers two-step programming, the M-instrumentation allows programmed operation in up to 18 steps.

These models are used extensively in heat treatment/drying or burn-in of semiconductor wafers, liquid crystals, disks and other components and devices requiring clean air conditions. These units can also be prepared for installation in clean-room environments. Class 100 cleanliness is achieved by employing a HEPA filter and a back-to-front laminar circulation system. The high-performance models (with MS suffix) provides stable performance even during heat-up or cooling.

This chamber simulates combinations of physical (mechanical) stress such as vibration, shock and acceleration in addition to environmental stress such as temperature and humidity.
800 mm size test fixture can be set in a type 5 chamber to enable testing of large-size specimen. The P-instrumentation enables easy programmed operation of up to 20 patterns and total of 512 steps.

Qualmark
Hielkema Test Equipment is official dealer for Qualmark equipment.
Out of the Qualmark delivery program we mostly offer Halt and Hass equipment.
These are testing methods that bring extreme thermal and mechanical stress to a new product. Potential weaknesses can be found and traced during the development of your product.

Most ESPEC test chambers are equipped with an internface, type RS-485 as standard. Types RS-232, IEEE-488 (GP-IB) and Lab VIEW driver can be ordered as option. The protocol-converter PMS-CA together with the software ERC-100M allow to set operation parameters, monitor testing, create programms, and record data for up to 16 systems with a PC. ERC-100M enables the same test pogram to be used with multiple systems by simply copying the program, saving significant programming time.

The AMI Ion Migration Evaluation System detects changes in insulation resistance with high precision. It also detects decline of insulation resistance by continuous measurement while applying voltage under high-temperature, high- humidity conditions. The leak-touch detection function detects the occurrence of ion migration in microsecond intervals. It immediately shuts off stress voltage to the channel when leak-touch is detected. You may choose whether to continue testing after detection (optional).
