ABOUT THE COMPANY
Time Compression Labs, LLC is a subsidiary of Hobbs Engineering. The Minneapolis lab is managed by John Lenss, B.S., who has over 12 years of experience in performing HALT including fixes for weaknesses found, so he is a consultant as well as an operator in the lab. He has produced excellent results for many firms in the Minneapolis area. John can be reached at: 952-960-1841, and by e-mail, JLenss@TimeCompressionLabs.com.

The Denver Lab is operated by HALT&HASS Systems™ Corporation, and the international labs are independantly owned by HALT and HASS experts trained by Hobbs Engineering.

EQUIPMENT
The labs are equipped with new versions of the TC-1.5 and TC-2.5 by HALT&HASS Systems which have even higher temperature ramp rates than the world leading rates available before. The equipment exceeds all other HALT&HASS Equipment in every measure including reliability (of course!).

RATES
For the industry's best equipment and a fully trained, competent engineer, the cost is $2,000 per day including one 180 liter Dewar of LN2. We only charge for the time actually used, not the time that is booked, in 1/2 day increments. Our in-house HALTs are usually completed in less time than the customer expects due to our very rapid techniques and equipment.

RESERVATIONS
The lab has already booked a number of reservations, so please contact us quickly to reserve your test time.  Reservations are being taken on an “in line” basis. We realize that it is often difficult to determine in advance just when your test gear, prototypes and staff will be available simultaneously. There may also be unforeseen urgent needs that always arise in this environment. As test windows become available, we will contact the first company in line. If they are not ready, then we will contact the next, and so on.

RESULTS
HALT and HASS results can be expressed as R=T*E where R is results, T is techniques used, and E is equipment effectiveness. Since we utilize only the world’s leading techniques and equipment, your results will be the best available.
CONSULTING
We offer free casual consulting for short periods. We are available on a consulting basis to help you design your HALT or HASS strategy in terms of stresses to be used, fixture design and fabrication, test equipment selection, and all other matters of importance to a successful HALT program. Education and equipment training is available from Hobbs Engineering through open seminars and consulting services. Gregg K. Hobbs, Ph.D., P.E., originator of the HALT and HASS techniques, is one of our available consultants to demonstrate how to accomplish a successful HALT on your product and how to set-up production HASS in your manufacturing facilities.
