Accelerated life testing is a process whereby a product is put through vigorous environmental tests in a bid to accelerate any failures that may occur in the product. The purpose of accelerated life testing is to give designers the chances to identify the root cause of any failures in the product and adapt and modify the design to make certain that once the customer takes ownership of the product, the product is safe to use. In essence, accelerated life testing focuses on temperature, vibration, AC/DC input levels, and frequency variation. Reliability Help is the brainchild of Ted Kalal, a reliability engineer and an experienced accelerated life tester, and currently, Ted Kalal offers accelerated life testing for a diverse range of international clients. When Ted partnered with Mark Levine, the company Teradyne, Inc. was formed and it was at this stage that accelerated life testing began in earnest and a publication Improving Product Reliability was released. Not only is accelerated life testing the perfect platform to test any deficiencies, which may exist in the makeup of the product, but in reality, accelerated life testing is able to lower warranty costs, as less inferior products will be released into the marketplace, and ultimately, accelerated life testing will improve customer satisfaction.

The other benefits of accelerated life testing include an increased time to market the product, and since the products will be thoroughly tested, it will allow the designer and manufacturer to become well-known in the industry for producing top quality and exceptional products. Halt or highly accelerated life testing is able to measure stress levels on product from as low as -60°C to over 140°. For those who are keen to learn more information about accelerated life testing, Reliability Help offers a comprehensive HALT or highly accelerated life testing seminar, which covers HALT featuring, stress tests and proof of screen. The seminar runs for three days and two of the days are intensive hands-on training on highly accelerated life testing.

In addition to signing up for the informative seminar on accelerated life testing, users can find out more about the book Improving Product Liability. For companies that are interested in having a reliability assessment at their production facilities, we offer a two or three day assessment and a follow-up report will be issued in one day. Covered in this assessment will be early design, supplier identification, reliability predictions and estimates, highly accelerated life testing planning, failure reporting analysis and corrective action system, as well as written reliability analysis report. Once effective accelerated life testing has been implemented, manufacturers will be able to enjoy a host of benefits, from lowered warranty costs and increased client satisfaction. Find out more about accelerated life testing via our website at http://www.reliabilityhelp.com and allow Reliability Help to carry out an intensive assessment of your faculties to find out how products can be improved to offer the very best in consumer safety and product reliability. Various aspects will be viewed during this assessment, from the early design, up until the failure reporting analysis stage.
