Ruggedization



Air and Conduction Cooled

Example Conduction Cooled VXS BoardMany of VMETRO’s products are designed for use in a range of applications and environments; ranging from benign to in-flight conditions. This is achieved through a philosophy of design for rugged from the start and includes thermal analysis, mechanical layout, timing analysis and component selection.


Cross-Platform Compatibility

The result of this is a robust family of boards, using a common design, with commercial builds being code compatible with their rugged counterparts. This has the added benefit for users of being able to start a design with a low cost commercial variant, then switching to a more rugged build of the same design for a deployed system.


Rugged Systems

VMETRO can supply the entire rugged sub-system. Chassis and enclosures can be provided with shock-mounts and heaters. In such systems, commercial boards can be used as they are protected from the harsh environments. These systems also have access to a wider range of components for greater system flexibility.
