ACCELERATED RELIABILITY TRAINING

The famous How-To Seminars on Accelerated Reliability that teachers, engineers, and managers have been speaking about.

Hobbs Engineering was established in 1978 by Dr. Gregg K. Hobbs, who holds 14 patents for various inventions that test the durability of product design. Over the past 30 years, he has gathered a select group of specialists in the various aspects of Accelerated Reliability, who provide training seminars for companies as varied as Boeing, Johnson & Johnson, Raytheon, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, John Deere, Airbus, Otis Elevator, Cadillac, and all branches of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Dr. Hobbs invented and continues to enhance HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Tests) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screens). These techniques use severe conditions (including vibration, freezing and extreme heating) to test for weaknesses in design. The breakdowns and parts failures that will occur after several years in average conditions, happen in a matter of minutes or even seconds using HALT and HASS, so designers and manufacturers can find problems and fix them quickly.

What's the difference between HALT and HASS?

HALT are run during the design phase of a program to find design weaknesses and eliminate them. Any stress that exposes design weaknesses that would show up in the normal environments is suitable even if these stresses do not occur in the normal environments to which the product will be exposed. This is due to the crossover effect.

HASS are run during production in order to find process problems such as poor solder joints. Again, time compression techniques and the cross over effect are employed to speed the process and to reduce costs. Tests called Safety of Screen are run to prove that the HASS profiles leave enough life in the product.

HALT&HASS EQUIPMENT NEWS
HALT&HASS Systems Corporation Introduces a New Line of ThermalShock™ Chambers.

HALT&HASS SYSTEMS CORPORATION introduces a new line of ThermalShock™ Chambers having industry leading heating and cooling rates, the lowest energy usage costs, and the lowest capital costs with an unbeatble, three year limited warranty.

Guaranteed HALT:
In order to aid those attempting to evaluate the methods and/or our equipment, HALT&HASS SYSTEMS CORPORATION offers a "Satisfaction Guaranteed" lab service in Westminster, Colorado. You bring in one or more of the units which have been subjected to HALT elsewhere or are No Defect Found field returns. If they cannot find any more relevant defects, then they charge nothing and take you out to lunch. The company typically discovers up to 17 times more than what others have found. Their staff has a combined 88 years of experience and are available as free consultants during your time here or on the phone later. All of the staff has been trained on the latest techniques.

About H&H:
HALT&HASS SYSTEMS CORPORATION is a spin-off from Hobbs Engineering Corporation. The two companies combined have the most cumulative inventions, innovations, and product advancements in the HALT and HASS field. The company manufactures Time Compressor™ Environmental Testing Chambers, commonly called "Shakers" and ThermalShock™ Chambers used in accelerated reliability improvement.
