MPI Thermal’s Rapid Thermal Cycling Systems

 

MPI Thermal’s advanced technology enables rapid thermal transitions, supporting high-speed ramp rates and precise temperature cycling compliant with MIL-STD specifications ranging from -55°C to +125°C.

Unlike conventional systems, ThermalAir platforms can reach target temperatures in seconds, not minutes. With intuitive controls and single-touch setpoint functionality, users can manage ramp rates with ease—streamlining both development and qualification processes.

ThermalAir systems deliver hot and cold air directly to the device under test, whether electronic or mechanical. This localized approach brings precise temperature control right to the test bench, enhancing workflow efficiency in both engineering labs and production environments.

5th Generation (5G) Telecommunications Uses Gigahertz (GHz) Wavelengths

The advent of 5G technology promises transformative capabilities in the telecommunications sector—delivering ultra-fast mobile internet, high-definition streaming, wireless virtual reality, and a robust infrastructure for the Internet of Things (IoT). As the backbone of future “Smart Cities,” 5G will support immersive entertainment, real-time surveillance, and a host of connected applications. Operating in the millimeter wave spectrum, 5G systems utilize high-frequency Gigahertz (GHz) wavelengths to achieve these speeds. Defense and military applications are also being explored for their strategic potential.

With greater outdoor exposure and expanded deployment across automotive, defense, industrial, and consumer sectors, 5G devices must undergo rigorous thermal testing. Manufacturers rely on temperature cycling, conditioning, and environmental stress simulations to validate performance in variable and extreme climates.

In telecommunications manufacturing, it is essential that each electronic component—whether a transceiver, module, or subsystem—be tested for thermal reliability. MPI Thermal systems support these needs by enabling precise thermal control, ensuring that equipment functions consistently under the full range of operational conditions required by modern telecom infrastructure.

MPI Thermal Temperature Testing Products

Telecommunications hardware and components must undergo thorough environmental qualification—including temperature, vibration, and humidity testing—to ensure long-term durability and functional integrity. Thermal cycling, environmental stress screening, and temperature conditioning are critical elements in validating these devices for real-world performance and field reliability.

Whether the goal is to execute precise thermal profiling, subject components to repeated thermal cycling, simulate rapid temperature transitions, or conduct steady-state temperature conditioning, MPI Thermal’s ThermalAir systems provide the accuracy and flexibility needed to meet your thermal testing demands.

ELI-1000 Thermal Chamber | Temperature Chamber

The ELI-1000 Thermal Chamber, a revolutionary temperature control system that combines a closed-loop thermal source and interchangeable custom/standard testing chamber into one compact, energy efficient system with a standard 110 volt electric source, has surpassed long-term sales expectations set when it was released over a decade ago.

The aim of this Thermal Chamber is to provide testers a precise, convenient all-in-one system at an affordable cost. The patented technology in the ELI-1000 allows for a steady state operation with a heating/cooling system that can be operated and controlled independently of each other.

The Khoury Box | RF, Microwave Thermal Testing

Electronics are a big part of technological advances found in everything today – including many of the parts found in automobiles, video game systems, medical equipment, airplanes, and even military weapons. These parts are subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations and transitions during use. Khoury Industries proudly manufactures the industry-leading Khoury Box, a temperature chamber or thermal chamber that holds the device-under-test so that thermal testing can be done to ensure reliability and durability of a product.

Specifically, the device-under-test is placed into the temperature chamber or thermal chamber and subjected to rigid thermal cycling in which the air is raised and lowered between temperatures that may match or exceed expected service environments to simulate different conditions. The Khoury Box temperature chamber operates in temperatures ranging from -80˚C to +225˚C.
