ESS – Temperature shock and vibration chambers, HALT / HASS testing equipment

The reliability of electronic prod ucts can be substantially improved by the use of environmental stress screening (ESS) techniques to minimize the risk of errors and failures of products and simultaneously im prove the reputation of a company.

Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) testing equipment features
During the ESS test, the products are subject to precisely defined stress so that defects in components and PCBs can be detected before leaving the manufacturer’s plant. Detecting weak points considerably improves the robustness of the products. Unreliable systems are filtered out before they reach the customers.

Each product requires a specially adapted ESS technique.

The advantages of ESS


  • Improvement of product reliability
  • The quality itself is substantially improved
  • Customer satisfaction increases

  • Reduced costs
  • Reduced risks
  • Quick “feedback”
  • Problems can be detected more rapidly
