PIND CONTROLLER
MANUAL MODE
The versatile Manual Mode is useful for experiments and can apply a vibration frequency sweep (to find resonances that make particle type noise) and apply shocks simultaneous with or without vibration. The shock level, count and application can be chosen. In Manual Mode the user has complete control over Vibration frequency and acceleration level and the shock.
AUTOMATED MODE
The unique Automated feature allows users to easily create PIND Test Profiles with unlimited Frequency and Acceleration choices that can be saved and recalled for future use. In Automated Mode detections are automatically saved for future analysis and logged for Test Report with percent defective calculation.

The BW-LPD-DAQ4000 is designed to detect loose particles in all kinds of products from your smallest integrated and discrete components, to your largest hybrids and subassembly packages. With speed and accuracy critical to your bottom line, the BW-LPD-DAQ4000 allows you to quickly select your test of choice and begin automatically testing without fiddling with knobs or entering complicated programming steps.
The BW-LPD-DAQ4000 comes preprogrammed to meet or exceed MIL-STD-883 Method 2020 for hybrids and MIL-STD 750 Method 2052 for discrete devices and MIL-STD-202 for relays and switches and stores the results of each test run.
B&W Engineering Corp., the originators of the first fully MIL-STD compliant PIND system, is pleased to introduce the next generation in PIND systems. We are raising the bar, combining the quality and accuracy you expect from B&W Engineering with the ease and flexibility of automated programming never before found in any PIND system.
But we didn’t stop there, we’ve incorporated the largest shaker ever available and a multi-sensor test head to give you the most versatile PIND system ever produced.

DAQ4000 Test Report
BW-LPD-DAQ4000
Unfortunately the MIL-STDs were changed to allow the inferior shock technique of a non-simultaneous shock (“perturbed”), allowing the shaker to stop, shock itself into its stops with a thud and resume vibration. Even the shock duration was changed to a non-standard reference to 50% of amplitude instead of 10% as with all other shock duration measurements. This technique allows smaller particles to re-adhere before the vibration resumes, is more destructive to the device under test by over-stressing it causing micro-cracks, compromising wire bonds and other latent mechanical defects, and ultimately breaks the shaker with costly repairs and downtime.
The shock is the single most important part of the PIND test to detect the smallest particles. Small particles have a very high resonance frequency, so a high frequency shock is the most effective at knocking them loose while stressing the device under test the least. One PIND manufacturer has made the claim that an isolated test at lower frequency, higher amplitude shock at 40% of device maximum was more effective (if you cannot shock simultaneously). This claim does not agree with facts or physics.
The highest frequency mechanical shock is generated by impacting harder materials at higher velocities. For the purposes of PIND testing the minimum shock pulse duration possible is about 50 microseconds. The MIL-STD used the < less than requirement intending to minimize the shock duration, there is no such thing as a Zero Time shock except in theory and it would have infinite Amplitude. This duration will extend naturally as mass is added, so the larger package’s response to an identical shock to a smaller mass will be longer commensurate with the mass, material and geometries, creating what is referred to as the Transfer Function.
