White Paper: Fundamentals of Electrical Safety Testing-TEQ
Part 1 - Functions & Features of Advanced Hipot Testers Introduction Electrical safety testers - often referred to as "hipot" testers - are an integral part of electrical and electronic equipment manufacturing. Hipot testers get their name from the high potential (high voltage) they produce to perform dielectric withstand and insulation resistance tests. In addition to these tests, many hipot testers provide accurate low-resistance measurements and low-resistance/high-current outputs to test ground resistance and ground bond integrity. Hipot testing has long been a standard procedure for assuring the electrical safety of electronic equipment. Early commercial hipot testers were actually [...]
Digital I/O ASIC Testing
Digital I/O ASIC Testing Customer Case A customer needs to generate stimulus to test his Application Specific Integrated Circuits and to capture response from that ASIC. The stimulus definition exists as an ASCII file with rows and columns of 1s and 0s. Each column corresponds to a different input pin of the ASIC and each rows corresponds to a different time tic (every 50 nanoseconds). The controlling baud clock runs at 10 MHz. The requirement is to record the digital response from the separate output pins of the ASIC as another ASCII file of 1s and 0s. Again, every [...]
MTI Instruments Announces Multi-Million Dollar U.S. Air Force Contract
Lockport, IL - (NewMediaWire) - January 07, 2022 - MTI Instruments, a manufacturer of precision tools and testing equipment for electronics, aviation, automotive, power and other industries, today announced a multi-year and multi-million-dollar contract with the U.S. Air Force (USAF).The total value over the life of the contract is anticipated to be well over $10 million. The contract includes a one-year base with four extension years and reflects a reaffirmation of the 24-year relationship prior to this award. The USAF has awarded MTI Instruments this contract for the supply of its turbofan jet engine vibration analysis and balancing solution, PBS. [...]
Measuring Glass wafer thickness with a Proforma 300i
Measuring glass substrate thickness with a Proforma 300i Semiconductor Glass Wafer Thickness Measurement Thickness Applications testing of glass (substrate) thickness An applications experiment was made with the MTI Proforma 300i Semiconductor thickness system to determine if it’s useful to measure glass substrate thicknesses typically found as support structures for Si semiconductors that are used for fabricating MEMs components and other thin Si wafers. The MEMs Silicon wafer is so thin after grinding that it needs the support of a thicker substrate to prevent breakage of the wafer during the back grinding/thinning [...]
Modernizing a Passive Sonar that has a Beam-Former with Digital Output
Modernizing a Passive Sonar that has a Beam-Former with Digital Output Customer Case The customer's requirement is to capture 10 signals, lasting 0.6 milliseconds each. 120 such signals arrive sequentially from a multiplexer within a beam-former. The clock rate is 2 MHz. The beam-former creates 120 beams and the raw digital data (underwater acoustic signal) from each beam is present at the output port of beam-former with a clock rate of 2 Mhz. At a certain time, we get the digital raw data of one beam. We plan to get 120 x 10 12-bit data records. That is, we [...]

MTI Instruments Enters Advanced Qualification Stage for Electric Vehicle Battery Measurement Device with Several Major Automotive OEM Manufacturers
NEW YORK, December 16, 2021 – MTI Instruments division, a manufacturer of precision tools and testing equipment for electronics, aviation, automotive, power and other industries, today announced that it has entered into the advanced qualification stage for its electric vehicle (EV) battery measurement device with several major automotive OEM manufacturers. Moshe Binyamin, President and CEO of MTI Instruments commented, “We committed to shareholders that we would communicate with them as we began to get traction in the growing and large EV Battery manufacturing segment. I am pleased to report, we are gaining serious traction.” Binyamin further added, “In fact, [...]
Neutrinos Study
Neutrinos Study Customer Case Neutrinos are said to be the most elusive and exotic particles in the universe. They are tiny neutral elementary particles that interact with matter via the weak nuclear force. Scientists are still trying to measure the mass and to characterize their properties. A customer who is studying neutrinos will be using photo multiplier tubes (PMT) coupled to a scintillating material to detect them. The PMT will produce a small electrical pulse when a neutrino is detected. These PMTs are located 2 Kilometers deep, in a mine located in Ontario, Canada. The customer is looking for [...]
MTI Instruments Announces Record $1.4 Million Order with Global Industrial Manufacturer
NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- MTI Instruments division, a manufacturer of precision tools and testing equipment for electronics, aviation, automotive, power and other industries, today announced a $1.4 million order with a global industrial manufacturer. The contract also includes a 14-year ongoing maintenance and support component representing another high-value contract win with recurring revenue. This repeat order stems from a multi-year customer relationship and is for MTI’s Block Gage measurement device that allows this top-tier global industrial manufacturer to perfectly machine ball pistons that require extremely precise accuracy for high power transmissions. MTI uses [...]
Laser Excitation of Single Atoms
Laser Excitation of Single Atoms Customer Case The client is an academic department conducting fundamental atomic physics research. The target of a Laser is a single Alkali atom, which enlarges to the size of several microns, upon receiving the pulse excitation. The enlarged atom is called a Rydberg atom and can reach the size of a grain of sand. The enlarged atom has new physical properties that are characterized by a detector that creates fast analog data streams. The setup of the experiment involves generating femtosecond Laser pulses, and capturing a 0 to 15 Volt ramp function with a [...]
Laser Based Position Measurement System
Laser Based Position Measurement System Customer Case In order to test their Laser Based Position Measurement Systems, the customer needs to characterize an output pulse from his circuitry which lasts for approximately 5 microseconds. According to the customer's estimates, he must use a sampling rate of 50 MSPS or higher in order to be able to analyze the signal completely. An additional requirement of the test system is that a specific number of successive pulses be digitized and then averaged in order to eliminate system noise. The number of such successive pulses must be variable. The repeat rate of [...]
