DETECTION OF PREMATURE FAILURES IN ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, BURN-IN TEST. AFA-100/768

Our client, a major manufacturer of electronics for telecommunications satellites, already had 7 AFA-100/768 ovens, but due to increased production, they needed to expand the number of environmental tests under controlled temperature conditions, ensuring proper functioning during component development.
 
The conditions they were looking for were similar to the previous ones:
👉 High stability and reproducibility.
👉 Oven with a large vertical load capacity.
👉 4 large-diameter through-wall ports for probe insertion.
👉 Programmable start/stop of the test.
👉 Communication with a central PC for control and recording of all ovens via software.
 
OUR SOLUTION: The same system we previously supplied. Three (3) AFA-100/768 ovens with internal dimensions of 1200 x 800 x 800 mm (H x W x D), featuring high temperature stability. This robust system boasts a high vertical load capacity and, thanks to its associated software and communication port, allows for centralized control of all ovens on one or more PCs simultaneously, enabling parallel monitoring and recording of all systems.

HIGH-TEMPERATURE MATERIAL BEHAVIOR STUDIES FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE SECTORS SUCH AS AERONAUTICS AND AUTOMOTIVE.

AFA-200/3000T FORCED-AIR OVEN.
 
The main activities in high-temperature studies:
👉 Characterization and Testing: We perform tests on plastics and composites.
👉 High-Performance Composites with high thermal resistance.
👉 Analysis of the effect of high temperature on mechanical properties.
 
These studies are crucial for the development of materials that maintain their mechanical and structural properties under demanding thermal conditions.
 
However, these components are often large, requiring:
 
• Large volumes
• Temperature ranges up to +200ºC
• High heating capacities
• Good temperature homogeneity and uniformity
 
OUR SOLUTION: AFA-200/3000T. A forced-air circulation oven with a rapid heating gradient and a large interior space of 1500 x 2000 x 1000 mm (H x W x D), 3 m³. A double-door system with double viewing windows allows for continuous monitoring of the test. The reinforced floor allows for the introduction of heavy samples. In addition, there are several penetrations for inserting extra sensors to position over the samples. All of this is controlled by a programmable system with a 7” touchscreen for performing cyclic tests, thanks to the extraction system that lowers the temperature inside the test chamber without the need for a separate refrigeration unit.

AFA-20/1600, FORCED AIR CIRCULATION OVEN FOR LOAD CELL TESTING.

 Continuing with environmental testing of load cells, it's important to remember that these are electronic components and therefore must also undergo burn-in processes to verify infant mortality in electronics. For this purpose, the number of samples to be tested should be as large as possible, taking into account the different sizes the samples may have.

Our AFA-200/1600 high-temperature laboratory oven has been designed for the introduction of carts carrying a large number of samples for testing. Its 1600 mm interior height allows for easy cart entry thanks to rails embedded in the floor, eliminating the need for a ramp. Its width and depth (1000 x 1000 mm) ensure the simultaneous introduction of different sample sizes. The system is complemented by an advanced microprocessor that allows heating and cooling cycles, thanks to its turbine system, all remotely controlled by the control and recording software.

AFA-200/2500, FORCED AIR HEATING OVEN FOR COSMETIC TESTING.

In the cosmetics industry, quality is not just a matter of texture or fragrance; it's a matter of stability and safety. Before a product reaches the shelf, it must demonstrate its ability to withstand everything from an intense summer to transoceanic transport. To achieve this, it's necessary to evaluate the behavior of its formulas through: Accelerated Stability Tests, Thermal Cycling (Thermal Shock), or Storage Tests.

That's why our client requested a special oven, a DYCOMETAL oven. With a volume of 2500 liters, specially adapted to accommodate large batches of samples in vertical trolleys, the oven has a vertical volume with a usable interior height of 2 meters. Furthermore, the floor features a flush-mounted rail system to allow trolleys to be inserted without the need for a ramp. The control system allows for the implementation of cooling programs using the air renewal system and an alarm system to notify when the test has finished. The control and recording software allows for the storage of tests for each batch via Ethernet communication.

AFA-200/490, FORCED AIR CIRCULATION HEATING OVEN BUILT ACCORDING TO AMS2750.

In highly regulated industries such as aerospace and aeronautics, quality standards for heat treatment processes are becoming increasingly demanding. The AMS 2750 E standard has become the benchmark to ensure accuracy, traceability, and repeatability in thermal processing.

This specification defines the calibration, temperature control, and data-recording requirements, as well as furnace classes based on temperature uniformity and instrumentation type. Therefore, selecting the right furnace depends directly on the criteria set by AMS 2750 E, influencing both process efficiency and final product quality.

Having equipment and solutions compliant with this standard not only ensures regulatory alignment but also enhances reliability and competitiveness in precision-driven industries.

HIGH GRADIENT FORCED AIR OVEN FOR HIGH LOAD TESTING IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, AFA-200/1200T-6

In the automotive industry, quality control is not an option: it is a strategic pillar. Every motor, every coil and every electrical system must pass demanding thermal endurance and continuous operation tests to guarantee its performance in real conditions of use. In this context, we incorporated a forced air circulation cooker as a fundamental part of the thermal testing laboratory for the development and validation of induction motors.

Our model AFA-200/1200T-6 with an interior volume of 1200 usable litres is adapted to test heavy specimens up to 1100 kilos, thanks to its reinforced floor in the central position. In order to be able to load such heavy samples, the system is equipped with a rail access that allows the sample to be easily introduced by means of a trolley. The system allows for positive temperature cycling, all controlled by a 10″ touch screen. For alarm management, a GSM module is installed for alarm notification via SMS. To prevent the sample from being damaged, an independent sample safety thermostat is installed.

FORCED-AIR HEATING OVEN FOR THE TREATMENT OF ZINC OR NICKEL-PLATED SURFACES, AFA-300/1440T-9

In order to improve the protective and durability properties of treated surfaces such as zinc or zinc-nickel, a top coat must be applied. This coating is an additional transparent or slightly tinted layer that will act as a barrier against external aggressions, thus increasing the durability of the surface treatment against degradation and oxidation even in the most hostile environments, as well as adding an aesthetic touch.

Our AFA-300/1440T-9 oven has been designed to carry out treatment cycles on a large quantity of dough (800 kg) taking into account the different dimensions of the pieces, which is why, in addition to a reinforced floor, it has 5 trays for a large quantity of dough. In order to carry out this special treatment, the oven must rapidly increase its temperature to maintain it for at least 24 hours. Its refractory steel interior and stainless steel exterior ensure the maximum resistance of the equipment to this extreme process.
