Solutions and Services
Manufacturing and Production Facilities
We only use ISO9001, AS9100 and ITAR certified manufacturing and production facilities that adhere to stringent quality and product assurance standards. Our test facilities are equipped with electrodynamic shakers, Sub-Zero temperature and humidity chambers as well as all types of modern electronic measurement equipment. The test equipment can be programmed to meet the requirements defined in MIL-STD-810, RTCA-DO-160, MIL-HDBK-2164A and others.
Aerospace
Our aerospace sector products conform to FAA, EASA and other industry standards which require ESS testing. Our team of expert test engineers will assist you with your ESS testing requirements in accordance with MIL-HBBK-2164. The vibration system, temperature and temperature-humidity chambers in our facilities are fully programmable to meet your specific requirements. We encourage customers to state their customization requirements relating to extended temperature ranges, high isolation barriers, varying switching frequencies, RoHS and REACH compliance.
Automotive
Electric Power is the key source of green initiative within the automotive industry, we believe it is essential to address the challenges and constrains within the automotive industry that stipulate the drive to achieve more with less power. Senator Power Systems has developed highly efficient and versatile power supplies that can be adapted with high degree of integration, safety and reliability. All our automotive grade power supplies conform to IEC and SAE standards.
Supply Chain and Procurement
Senator Power Systems has extensive experience in procurement of all types of electronic components, from bare printed circuit boards to microcontrollers, MOSFETs, Gate Drivers, standard active and passive components as a result of our well-developed access to the global supply chain, all our products will be supported throughout their life cycle.
Benefits of Automated Test Equipment
Reduced Test Cycle
Manual testing of products involves a lot of time being spent by engineering resource in troubleshooting each test in order to progress the product to the next stage. By automating tests, the time required to test each individual product becomes consistent, therefore reducing individual test times. Overall test cycle times are reduced as the engineering resources can focus on ono-conformance issues that arise, rather than spending time carrying out the tests. As both product and test mature, a greater number of units will pass first time. This also significantly reduces test cycle times.
Minimal Operator Error
The main problem with manual test procedure is that the process itself contains many areas in which data input error may occur. Automated test equipment requires data input only once and prevents data input errors, this also helps in reduction of test cycle times as the focus becomes getting the product tested rather than spending time on data input. The testing procedure does not require engineering or troubleshooting skills. Engineering resources are only required when a test fails.
Consistency of Product & Test
The speed and accuracy of a manual testing process is determined by the skill of the test operator. With automated tests, the speed of the test and getting the product through the test can be achieved using fewer technically cable people. The consistency of the overall test result is also not determined by the skill level of the test operator. This again allows the engineering resources of the company to be put to better use on other issues.
Test Data Management
Using data loggers during testing enables fast analysis and tracking of test data which can help lead to improved product reliability and completion of the testing process. Our software interfaces allow for automated PDF to be generated and emailed to the customer. Low-cost bar coding and serial number tracking can be added to tests. The most important features of automated test equipment data management software are the statistical analysis that can be utilised, easily changing the limits of tests and improving overall process.
