Kingfield Boosts Capabilities with Fourth ESS Chamber

Estimated reading time: Less than a minute

Contract electronics manufacturer Kingfield Electronics has added a fourth Environmental Test Chamber to further increase its existing ESS test capabilities.

The ShareTree TC/Slimline/600/-70/LN chamber provides increased thermal cycling capabilities over a wide temperate range of -70°C to 190°C and with a ramp rate of 10°C/min. The equipment features a 5kg, non-dissipating load for both the hot and cold cycles. The system has also been further enhanced with the addition of liquid nitrogen cooling and a Eurotherm PC Based data logging capability. This extends the company's previous capabilities and now enables the testing of product destined for extremely harsh environments.

"As we become increasingly involved in producing complex equipment and systems destined for high reliability requirements such as defense and aerospace, the need to adopt more stringent test strategies becomes of paramount importance. This new capability further enhances our existing product test capabilities and ensures we can now develop and implement a full test strategy for product in virtually any application,” said Martin Green, quality director.
