Aspectrics' Analyzers Demonstrate Outstanding Resistance to High Frequency Vibration Testing


PLEASANTON, CA (October 17, 2006) - Aspectrics, Inc. the innovator of Encoded Photometric Infrared Spectroscopy (EP-IR) analyzers, announces that its innovative EP-IR analyzers have achieved Military 202G Method 204D certification for successfully passing the High Frequency Vibration Resistance Test. The test was performed to determine the effect of vibration on component parts of the analyzer in sweeping frequency ranges of 0.5 to 30 Hz. The units demonstrated no degradation in electrical or photometric performance during or after the test. In addition, the photometric performance was further tested by collecting spectra as these vibrations were applied to the analyzer. Even under the stress of such vibrations, the EP-IR analyzer retained photometric performance and still meets RMS signal-to-noise specifications greater than 50,000:1. Aspectrics' EP-IR analyzers are the only systems available on the market that have successfully achieved this certification. A video demonstrating this experiment is available via aspectrics.com/product/process.php

Jim Yano, VP of Marketing for Aspectrics, comments: "Our EP-IR technology is a breakthrough for the process monitoring industry. That's why our analyzers have enjoyed a tremendously positive reaction since their launch. Receiving certification to military specifications with regards to vibration resistance further demonstrates the ruggedness of our EP-IR systems compared with less vibration sensitive techniques such as FT-IR."

Being capable of simultaneously measuring multiple gas components in the ppb to ppm range as well as an ultra-fast scan rate of 100 scans/second, Aspectrics' patented EP-IR analyzers allow manufactures to monitor their processes in real-time. The units do not utilize any hygroscopic optical components or internal lasers. Furthermore, Aspectrics offers a complete suite of software solutions from application development to field deployable calibrations and control software.

Vibration testing is used to evaluate products and packages for design purposes and to simulate the effects of transportation or system vibration. During the tests, environmental exposure to vibration is reproduced to ensure compliance with quality and safety requirements.
