Abstract: An automated platform for electronic apparatus environmental testing and the methods of its operation holds and positions electronic devices during environmental testing. The automated platform may be a multi-legged table and includes a surface for providing vertical support. A plurality of bracket mechanisms, each hold in position an electronic device. A bracket positioning mechanism associates with the plurality of bracket mechanisms for controllably positioning the bracket mechanisms. Control circuitry associated with the bracket turntable controls the positioning of the bracket mechanisms. At least one brush mechanism may be positioned in association with the bracket mechanisms for brushing said bracket mechanisms and an electronic device held in position by said bracket mechanism.

Abstract: An environmental chamber for use with an environmental contamination testing system provides airborne contaminants effects for electronic systems. The environmental chamber includes a platform for supporting the plurality of electronic systems and receiving the settled amounts of the airborne contaminants. An airborne contaminants contaminant delivery system delivers airborne contaminants within the environmental chamber for directing the airborne contaminants in the direction of the platform and the plurality of electronic systems. A controller cabinet monitors and controls the environment of the environmental chamber.
