Custom Solutions
We are proud to provide custom solutions to meet specific needs.
On the right is the tallest HALT/HASS chamber ever made by Thermotron,
standing at 14 feet, to accomodate an extremely tall product being tested
by a power supply automation company.
Below is a DSX-8000 with a dual sliptable purchased by an automotive
subcontractor. The large sliptable interfaces with an environmental test
chamber. The small sliptable is used to meet the 100g/11ms automotive
shock specification horizontally with a 100 pound payload. This design
provided a versatile and cost-effective piece of equipment.
