GOLDSBORO, N.C., Feb. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AAR (NYSE: AIR), the
global aerospace and defense contractor that provides products and
services to commercial and military fleets, announces it now offers
accelerated reliability testing and engineering services for
mission-critical products developed for aerospace/aeronautics,
automotive, energy, transit/rail, industrial and medical devices at
its facility in Goldsboro.
Using specialized equipment, AAR performs Highly Accelerated
Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS)
to identify design weakness early in the product lifecycle. What's
more, AAR test services provide advantages such as unparalleled
technical support, consultation on stress profiles and flexible
scheduling options.
Producers of electrical, electronic and electromechanical
products with smaller budgets and shorter development cycles gain
the benefits of a Tier 1 supplier of major flight-critical systems,
yet a small operation with low overhead that uses fewer resources
and takes less time than traditional reliability test methods.
Successful HALT/HASS methodologies applied to AAR's own product
lines bring uncommon insight and expertise to component suppliers
and systems integrators looking to distinguish themselves from
competitors.
"As a major player in the aerospace industry, AAR is uniquely
qualified to perform accelerated reliability testing and analysis,"
said David Engstrom, Senior Systems
Engineer and Accelerated Reliability Test and Engineering Services
Lead. "When customers test their products at AAR they get more than
rented time with test equipment. They benefit from engineering
experience that comes from designing and testing to aerospace
standards for flight safety and reliability. Also, with AAR they
can rest assured they have a partner who understands the importance
of prudent use of resources early in the design cycle."
HALT/HASS testing is superior to analytical methods in
identifying product weaknesses and reducing early life failures.
The company plans to roll out additional engineering services,
including advanced consultation on stress profiles; fixture
design/build; test design and part monitoring; post-test reporting;
physics of failure modeling; and design for reliability
consultation. Customers will benefit from faster time to market;
less expensive testing campaigns; lower warranty costs from more
robust designs; and manufacturing cost savings due to better
process control.
