The market’s expectations regarding the quality of all products are constantly increasing. Customers are not satisfied with products that merely fulfil their specification at the time of delivery and during the warranty period: all products should work without failures throughout their entire expected lifetime. Kitron has the resources to help you reach this level of quality performance.
Reliability testing
Our experienced supervision and environmental testing ensures the reliability of products, structures and processes. Kitron can provide a highly skilled team as well as its own laboratory, fully equipped to carry out a variety of environmental durability tests.
We have the knowledge and experience to test your product to ensure that it will fulfil its reliability requirements in its final application. With our extensive experience of the testing of industrial, medical, automotive, data/telecoms and military products, we understand and effectively apply the full range of application requirements and standards in product testing.
We perform complete product testing, including mechanical and climatic tests, in our own environmental testing centre. Our range of mechanical and climatic test equipment can be combined in different configurations to create a wide variety of environments for product testing.
If you wish to discuss product testing while your product is still at the design stage – the amount/severity of testing required and other matters to do with product qualification – please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
Quality and failure analysis
At our Quality Analysis laboratory we analyse materials and components as well as manufacturing process performance. Our services also include assisting our clients with assuring the quality of any specific materials included in the product before starting mass production.
We also perform advanced process analysis of production processes. With the whole electronics industry currently converting to lead-free materials and soldering processes, the need for such analysis is now greater than ever.
If you are unfortunate enough to experience urgent quality problems or to receive unexpected field returns, we are here to help you with failure analysis throughout the entire breakdown investigation.
