Custom & OEM
Precision Timing Solutions for Scientific & Industrial Electronics

Repackaging, Branding & Fully Custom Instruments

Our engineers assist customers in integrating technology into custom systems and designs, from product branding to fully custom timing devices.

  • Off-the-shelf precision timing boards / modules (delay generators, multi-channel trigger, event timers)

  • Custom board-level designs / modules to integrate into your system

  • Full instrument integration (timing + control + interface)

  • Supporting firmware / FPGA / software / API

  • Calibration, validation, environmental / robustness options (temperature, EMI, vacuum, etc.)

Barrier removal: For many clients, designing precision timing from scratch is expensive and risky; position your modules/boards as a lower-risk, faster path to high-precision integration with our vast expertise. 

Our known experience can help offer accuracy, low jitter, deterministic timing, synchronization, nanosecond / picosecond resolution, modular board-level integration, turnkey OEM modules, etc.

Technical Capabilities / Specs

  • Delay range, resolution, jitter, channel count, outputs, input trigger support

  • Interfaces: TTL, LVTTL, LVDS, optical, fiber, USB, Ethernet, PCIe, etc.

  • Synchronization & distribution: clock sync, multi-board sync, daisy-chain, bus, time-stamping

  • Environmental options: temperature control, shock/vibration, EMI shielding, vacuum compatibility

  • Calibration and traceability

Dental Laser Ablation

A leading manufacturer of regenerative periodontal therapy devices turned to Quantum Composers to double their production to meet dental laser demands. Quantum produced 200 6-watt free-running variable pulsed Nd:YAG dental laser heads in under a year from initial scope of work to the production of actual units. Continue reading on the blog
LIBS Mass Spectroscopy

TOF Mass Spectrometer

Quantum Composers partnered with this OEM to produce a LALI-TOF-MS (laser ablation laser ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer) to help ensure quality in agricultural and pharmaceutical products. The instrument provides trace-level detection of metallic constituents and measures important low-mass elements in a single analytical session in a matter of minutes. More on the blog.

Airbag pyrotechnic initiator testing

Airbag Testing: Helping keep drivers safe

Working with the largest supplier of Airbags, they needed a custom unit to meet their demanding needs for Integrated Bridgewire Resistance Measurement.  To ensure each initiator works properly, so your Airbags will deploy when needed.  Certain features were key that were not out in the industry, Quantum worked closely to meet the needs of the client and the industry standards. 

X-Ray-Controller
Flash X-ray systems for fast image capturing

X-Ray Controller

This OEM required a Trigger Amplifier, a Delay Generator, and a Pulsed Event Timer for their Flash X-ray systems.  The customer was using three units and wanted one unit to replace all three, using local and remote control.  Triggering a High voltage 2500V pulse, allowing user to delay firing and reliably measure time intervals between events.  This procedure is still used in a wide array of applications from, Hyper Velocity Impact Studies, Shaped Charge Jet Profiles, Explosively Formed Projectiles, X-ray crystallography and Ballistic Flight Dynamics to name a few.
