Digitally Controlled Shaker.

Hofstadter focuses on minimizing costs without compromising performance in both our analytical services and the other services highlighted on this page

C

Cooling System Design We will design a thermal control system to allow your electronics and opto-mechanical systems to be used in diverse environments, combining off-the-shelf and custom components. Or, we can design and fabricate completely custom solutions.

E

Electronics Hardening We are skilled in modifying commercial electronics to withstand demanding environments, and can validate our solutions using in-house vibration and shock test equipment.

V

Vibration and modal testing We can use our NIST-traceable sensors for validating designs or evaluating field problems, or for military qualification testing.

M

Mechanical load testing We use our hydraulic loading equipment to evaluate everything from the integrity of optical element bonds, to the strength of floor tiles.

S

Shock Test In addition to our electromechanical shaker, we may use pendulum testing to evaluate the response of optical and electronic components. Pendulum testing is often a low cost, elegant solution.

O

Off-Site testing We support testing at commercial test facilities. From test design/ quoting through monitoring, we can handle the entire process, freeing customer resources.

M

Multi-Physics Analysis We have strong experience with many multi-physics problems, from dynamic wind-loading of structures on Mars, to fluid flow through cooling networks.
