Environmental Stress Testing
Test engineers can use ThermalAir environmental testing equipment and our environmental testing chambers to thermal cycle their automotive sensors to temperature from -25°C to +225°C. Our systems generate extreme hot and cold thermal air stream directly on the test article that requires harsh environmental testing.
In the very near future the majority of all new cars will be classed as “connected” and there will be more than hundreds of millions connected vehicles on roads in around the world. The overwhelming number of connected vehicles, along with the increasing level of connectivity, is already creating a data explosion, from sensors and cameras, sonar and radar, LIDAR and GPS systems. All get exposed to hot and cold temperature environments
Our new thermal test technology gives the end user the ability to easily test while controlling the ramp rate speed with one touch temperature set point functions.

Electronics continue to infiltrate all aspects of automotive design as consumer demand for safety, performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability continues to grow. Automotive Electronic design incorporates semiconductor components, electronic sensors, and sub-systems. Automobiles have over 50 sensors, switches and other electronic controls. These components require temperature conditioning and fast temperature cycling at ranges -80°C to +225°C and beyond.
MPI Thermal environmental temperature testing equipment is portable and can easily be moved from one test station to another. Automotive component manufacturers can use our ThermalAir TA-5000 system to quickly provide envrionmental stress testing parts to temperature right at the test location. Environmental Temperature Testing, thermal profiling and other environmental stress testing is why MPI Thermal systems are part of the manufacturing environmental temperature testing processes.
Automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 component manufacturers need to simulate temperature environments during the engineering and production test process to assure they work once installed in a vehicle.
