Strain measurement in thermal shock testing.

Observing the behavior of strain in thermal shock tests! The test materials used are FR-1 and FR-4.

We would like to introduce the "strain measurement in thermal shock testing" conducted by our company. A sample with a strain gauge attached was set up in the thermal shock testing device, and the wiring of the strain gauge was connected to an external data logger to record strain data in real-time during the test. For two types of copper-clad laminates, the strain behavior during the thermal shock test was observed, and it was noted that significant strain occurred with temperature changes. It was found that FR-1 exhibited greater strain compared to FR-4. [Test Conditions] ■ Temperature Cycle: -30°C to 120°C ■ Exposure Time at Each Temperature: 30 min ■ Test Materials - FR-1 Paper Phenolic (double-sided) - FR-4 Glass Epoxy (double-sided) ■ Strain Gauge: Foil strain gauge for printed circuit boards *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Non-destructive testing

Not only the joints of electronic components, but also the evaluation of fixed parts such as screws!

At AITES Co., Ltd., we conduct "Thermal Shock Testing." By repeatedly exposing samples to high and low temperatures, stress is generated not only from the thermal effects of high and low temperatures but also from the expansion and contraction of various parts. Repeated stress also adds to the overall stress. This test is conducted not only for the joints of electronic components but also for evaluating fixed points such as screws. 【Main Specifications of the Thermal Shock Testing Equipment】 ■ Internal Dimensions: W650×H460×D370mm Temperature Range: -65 to 0/+60 to 200℃ ■ Internal Dimensions: W650×H460×D670mm Temperature Range: -65 to 0/+60 to 200℃ ■ Internal Dimensions: W970×H460×D670mm Temperature Range: -65 to 0/+60 to 200℃ *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Measurement and Analysis Equipment

Applicable to change observation, with support for additional analysis! We evaluate the subject in a time series and non-destructive manner.

During reliability testing, the samples change moment by moment. Do you have any questions such as "At what point did the crack occur?", "How does the degradation progress?", or "How much has it changed from the initial state?" By combining it with reliability testing, we will evaluate the subject in a time-series and non-destructive manner. 【Features】 ■ Applicable for observing changes in whiskers, migration, pressure resistance, solder evaluation, chemical corrosion tests, and aging products in the market ■ Environmental tests and observation frequency will be conducted according to customer requirements ■ Additional analyses such as electrical characteristics, SEM observation, elemental analysis, and cross-sectional observation are also available *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In-Situ Continuous Measurement Reliability Evaluation Testing Service

In-situ continuous measurement reliability evaluation tests involve applying stress while measuring characteristics to conduct reliability assessments. ● Accurate understanding of failure time is possible In a readout method where samples are taken out from a stress environment at fixed times, failure can only be understood at the timing of the readout, making it impossible to know the exact time of failure occurrence. In-situ measurement allows for accurate understanding of failure time. ● Detection of recoverable failures is possible Recoverable failures can cause significant issues in the market. In most cases, these recoverable failures cannot be detected using the readout method, but in-situ measurement allows for the detection of recoverable failures, enabling accurate judgment and assessment. ● Monitoring of stress application conditions on samples is possible The stress application conditions and measurement data can be confirmed in real-time.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On August 28, 2026 (Friday), I participated in the "AMD Embedded Computing Summit Tokyo 2026" and showcased a "Gesture Demo" as a partner of AMD. The demonstration introduced a configuration that combines gesture recognition using OpenCV, status reporting with LLM, and one-axis motor control using INtime 7.2 and RSI-ECAT, enabling collaboration between AI, image processing, and real-time control on a single PC. We presented a next-generation PC-based industrial control system that integrates AI, image processing, and real-time control on one PC. <Overview of Demo Participation> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/AMDEcsTokyoResults.html <Actual Demo Video> https://youtu.be/JmZke75_y0s <AMD CPU + INtime RTOS Introduction Page> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/amdxintime.html #PC #RealTimeOS #IndustrialPC #AI

This time, I would like to talk a little about current measurement in the switching evaluation of power semiconductors (including power devices and power modules).

We propose numerous cutting-edge technologies and products that solve on-site challenges in a one-stop manner. It's not just about seeing; it's about experiencing, consulting, and bringing it back to the field. At the venue, we will showcase the latest measurement instruments and solutions, including 3D laser scanners, handheld 3D scanners, LiDAR drones, and 3DGS (Gaussian Splatting). Additionally, we will announce surprise new products!

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.
