Why do clients prefer absorber end caps?
We were surprised by the results of our poll to determine if the market prefers end caps on their absorbers. The results were quite clear! Two responses received 88% of the votes, leaving little room for the other two options.
This table can support objects weighing up to 750 kilograms and complies with MIL-Standard for the defence industry. Let us share more details about our production line’s strongest testing table.
A few weeks ago, we delivered the component test chamber in the photo at one of the Booz Allen Hamilton facilities in the US. Our colleague and technical consultant, Hanneke Mertens – van Veen was responsible for this project from our side.
Hanneke: “I enjoyed working on this project with the Booz Allen Hamilton team, and they helped me run a smooth and efficient project. The table in this chamber has extra strong wheels and can easily be carried in and out of the chamber over a 150mm ramp at the door. The table’s ground plane is made of copper, but we also deliver them with other metal ground planes to comply with various test standards. The reason this one is made of copper is to increase electrical conductivity.”
And does MIL standards compliance increase the difficulty of designing a chamber?
Hanneke: “The EUTS come in various varieties, significantly impacting the chamber’s footprint. Components required for the defence industry are often larger and, therefore, heavier than average. With DEF Standards, floor-standing equipment is an option; however, we advised a tabletop setting due to the EUTs.”
