The Qualmark OVS-3 (Typhoon 3.0) is a combined thermal and vibration testing system for HALT and HASS applications. It delivers extreme temperature cycling from +200°C to -100°C paired with six-degree-of-freedom random vibration to expose design weaknesses and manufacturing defects. The 36″ × 36″ table accommodates mid-sized to larger products with flexible chamber volume adjustment via dual table heights.
