We know you may still have questions after the decision to buy is made, which is why we’ve created a series of videos to get you started—from setting up your vacuum oven to advanced instructions for setting ramp and soak profiles and time to temp mapping. Whatever your question, these fun and instructional videos will help you learn the ins and outs of your new lab oven in record time.

Nine videos in all! Watch all nine to learn more about:

Changing your Watlow EZ-Zone from Celsius to Fahrenheit

Getting started with your Cascade TEK Oven Controller

Programming your Watlow EZ-Zone:  Simple Ramp and Profile

Programming your Watlow EZ-Zone: Advanced Ramp and Soak Profiles

Setting the high limit on a Cascade TEK Oven

Cascade TEK performs the full range of environmental tests called out in RTCA DO-160, and we remain a member in good standing of the RTCA Organization.

Emphasis for the seminar will be:

1. Stresses applied during the design phase (HALT) in order to force accelerated design maturity, obtaining robust design margins, and allowing earlier, or mature, product introduction.

2. Methods in the production phase (HASS) to ensure robust manufacturing processes at suppliers, at top level assembly, and everywhere in between: shipping, handling, and storage.

According to post-seminar surveys, past participants have benefited greatly from their time spent at the seminar, including:

• Reduction of product development time and cost by a factor of 2.
• Return on investment of 50:1 in the first year.
• Hundreds of millions of dollars saved in 2 ½ years.
• Dramatically increased MTBF’s, 838 times improvement in one case.
• Greatly reduced warranty and field retrofitting costs!
• One company shipped many 1,400 lb racks of electronics without any field failures in a complete year!
• One company reported a savings of $30 million in one year.
• Reduction in REL-DEMO costs by orders of magnitude.
• Substantial savings in manufacturing costs. Almost no scrap and rework.
• Vast reduction in screening and test equipment costs.
• Detect those “No Defects Found” in field returns! The “Magic Bullet”.

The workshop will feature Chet Haibel, a Senior Member of the American Society for Quality (ASQ), as the instructor. Haibel is certified as a Reliability Engineer, Quality Engineer, Software Quality Engineer, Quality Auditor, Biomedical Auditor, and Manager of Quality / Organizational Excellence.

Cascade TEK is an A2LA accredited product testing laboratory in Hillsboro OR. Cascade TEK performs a wide variety of environmental stress tests, including vibration and shock, UV exposure, sand & dust, thermal shock, temp/humidity and altitude testing.

Living in Oregon, we see a lot of bikes and bike racks around, and, thankfully, we’ve never seen any bikes fall off their racks or bike racks fall off their cars. What gives us this confidence? Testing of course. And custom bike rack testing is yet another type of testing CascadeTek offers. We shot this video in the vibration test lab to share with you all. Click  below to see how we replicate actual vibration bike racks experience while on moving cars.

From aerospace to consumer products, we can run Vibration to Thermal Shock testing on just about anything.  Our capabilities have grown over the last 17 years, please visit our Testing Services page for a list of them all.
