Clean hands at EMC Fest in Livonia (MI)

We were surprised by the feedback we got on our cleanliness proposition at EMC Fest in Livonia (MI) last week! “Some people came back to our table several times!” says our local sales representative in Michigan, Tony Oliverio. What happened?

Tony: “Introducing these new and clean absorbers Comtest launched with DMAS (Dutch Microwave Absorber Solutions) really takes off. Everybody in the industry knows those old absorbers are leaking particles after a few years and is surprised no company has come up with a better solution.”

The Southeastern Michigan IEEE EMC Society organised EMC Fest to provide their local EMC engineers and technicians with information related to topics such as Radiated Emission Troubleshooting Success and Radiated Immunity Failures.

“All the key persons in the industry were there”, says Tony. “During the breaks between sessions, they passed our table, where I handed out a few tiny bottles of hand sanitisers as a joke to help them out as long as they had to deal with the old-fashioned absorbers. They understood the issue and the joke, and it got me a few chuckles. Some people checked their hands after touching our absorbers, but I told them not to worry.”

Upgrading an EMC chamber with new absorbers on old tiles

Can you upgrade an EMC chamber and keep the old, glued ferrite tiles? “It’s possible”, says Uliana Trucchi, one of our technical consultants. “Say you want to replace your old absorbers because you need to meet performances over 1GHz, and you wish to keep the ferrite tiles because they are glued to the chamber’s walls and ceiling. That is exactly what the people from Nemko in Germany asked us for the chamber upgrade in the photo.”

Our services include maintenance and validated testing. We recommend that both are executed by authorized personnel only. Our expert teams can perform preventive maintenance on RF-shielded doors, mode-stirrer systems, and positioning equipment such as turntables. We also offer validation services to see if your EMC test chamber or RF-shielded room still functions within its intended limits and avoiding unexpected down-time or product recalls at the same time.

A shielded room can perform conducted emission and immunity EMC measurements, eliminating harmful external influences, leading to more accurate and consistent test results. Being a Faraday cage, a shielded room will not only improve test results but will also form an excellent aid in protecting information and essential hardware. Comtest can assist governments, the military, financial institutions, and large corporations in protecting what matters most in critical situations. We offer the highest quality, sensitivity, and security before, during and after working with you.
