About
ALTER Technology provides mechanical testing services to validate robustness and reliability of electronic components under extreme physical stress for aerospace, defense, and transportation sectors. Vibration testing reproduces dynamic mechanical stresses from transportation, launch, or operational use using electrodynamic shakers and SRS tables, supporting sine, random, sine-on-random, and random-on-random tests with custom tooling, electrical monitoring during vibration, and combined thermal-vibration testing. Standards: ECSS-Q-ST-70-08C, ECSS-Q-ST-70-38C, EN 60068-2-6, EN 60068-2-64, ISO 19683, EN 61373. Shock testing evaluates resilience to sudden mechanical impulses using classical mechanical shock and SRS methods with drop towers, impact hammers, or electrodynamic shakers, high-speed data acquisition, and combined mechanical and electrical monitoring. Standards: EN 60068-2-27, MIL-STD-202, MIL-STD-883, ECSS-Q-ST-70-38C, ISO 19683. Constant acceleration testing determines mechanical strength under steady-state high-g load conditions with capability up to 50,000 g, custom mounting fixtures, and evaluation of mechanical and solder joint integrity. Standards: MIL-STD-883 Method 2001, MIL-STD-202 Method 212, ECSS-Q-ST-70-08C.
