Core Functionality & Innovation
1.
Dynamic Dust Simulation:
Multi-Particle Injection: Utilizes ISO 12103-1 A2 (sand), A3 (silt), and A4 (talcum) dust types for diverse environmental replication.
Variable Density Control: Adjust concentrations from 0.5 to 5 kg/m to mimic light dust clouds or severe sandstorms.
2.
Aging Acceleration Technology:
Cyclic Stress Profiles: Combine dust exposure with temperature swings (-30C to +90C) and humidity cycles (1095% RH) to accelerate material fatigue.
Mechanical Agitation: Rotating sample platforms and pneumatic vibration simulate wind erosion and equipment vibrations.
3.
Real-Time Degradation Monitoring:
Integrated Sensors: Track particulate ingress, surface abrasion, and electrical performance (e.g., contact resistance in connectors).
AI-Powered Predictive Analytics: Algorithms correlate test data with field failure rates to forecast product lifespan.
