Qualmark HALT Systems

Qualmark Highly Accelerated Life Test (HALT) testing systems combine extreme temperature cycling and repetitive shock vibration for the ultimate performance and total cost of ownership in accelerated reliability testing.

TY40 Closed

Beginning in the early 1990s, Qualmark introduced the technology to manufacture and become the global market leader in HALT chambers. Today, ESPEC technology continues to reflect the best advances in HALT/HASS system testing by providing the extreme stresses necessary to rapidly find design flaws missed by traditional test methods. Additionally, ESPEC test chamber models are the most energy-efficient on the market.

The table delivers six degrees of freedom, including random broadband excitation (10 Hz to above 5,000Hz) with a consistent power spectral density profile that eliminates “picket fencing.” The thermal chamber’s conditioning system features vacuum-jacketed liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling and nichrome wire heating, allowing for ramp rates of 60-100˚C per minute.

  • xLF2 Vibration Table with PSD Management
  • Vacuum Jacketed Manifold
  • Allen-Bradley PLC Control
  • Windows 10 system with Labview operation and PLC-based controls
