USA-based manufacturer of rugged computers and components, Trenton Systems, Inc. excel in the design of rugged workstations that power automated testing equipment (ATE). These hardened, high-performance workstations are available in 1U, 2U, 4U, and 5U configurations and have up to 18 PCIe slots, power ATE systems for industries and applications that use a range of different test instruments on a regular basis. Automated test and measurement systems diagnose faults and check if certain electronic components are operating correctly or not, they can also substantially minimize manufacturing costs by reducing test time. The company is also designing a powerful 3U BAM rugged server that will revolutionize industry’s next ATE.

“Our products are being used in support of a high mix of aerospace products, ranging from computer-controlled fuel sensing systems, electronic braking systems, actuation/controller missile systems and HUMS. Major prime contractors rely on Trenton’s hardware to support development of electrical, mechanical and software specifications to test end items,” elaborated Sean Campbell, Vice President - Sales, Marketing & Business Development, Trenton Systems. “These designs must be traceable to their end customers and system specifications, thus making our hardware essential in support of the manufacturing/operations group to help ensure on-time delivery of products. We become an essential part of their ecosystem in the delivery of finished products, ensuring our products will perform as specified to meet customer and system requirement.”

“One of our most popular board and backplane combos for ATE is a Trenton Systems TKL8255 processor board with a PICMG 1.3 backplane. The two most popular backplanes recently have been the BPG8155 and BPG6615,” added Jeremy Lee, Strategic Account Manager, Trenton Systems. “Our PCIe expansion chassis are also popular, as they allow our customers to use more I/O cards, a feature that isn’t an option with just one rack mount system. A recent customer chose Trenton Systems because of the PCIe Gen 3 slots that we were able to offer them, not to mention that they value BIOS-controlled, made-in-USA rugged computer systems backed by an incredibly helpful in-house support team for years to come.”
