Studio Network Setup Thermoscope This measurement and imaging technology is being used to inspect component degradation, corrosion, disbondings and delamination.
Environmental Chamber The chamber is used to test the effects of specific environmental conditions on electronic devices and components. It offers the service of showing the process of product decay and degradation, and helps predict potential problems in the product or material.
Introduction The Studio is intended to supports the EPSRC Centre for Through-life Engineering Services. It is an integrated laboratory that can be managed with strict manufacturing controls but is flexible enough to fulfil research requirements. The Studio is designed to address a wide range of coupled whole system issues from material analysis for maintenance and repair to process simulation and visualisation. Technologies The Studio provides instrumentation and facilities to perform experiments in supporting all the EPSRC Centre projects. This includes the: • Environmental Test Chamber • Intermittent fault detection kit • Thermographic imaging • Virtual Reality Suite • High-end workstations

Virtual Reality Suite The suite is being used to study system architecture design for engineering services. Applications are being developed to visualise and link design rules with system design. The facility allows users to carry out their tasks and perform functions by exchanging information with computer systems in 2D and 3D space.
Intermittent Fault Detection The NCompass is the state of the art intermittent fault detection and isolation system. It aids in determining the root cause of electronic equipment and No-Fault Found (NFF) problems. The kit is being used to capture faults that other traditional test equipment often fails to capture.
