NAIT Centre for Sensors and System Integration (CSSI – Test)
CSSI – Test
Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT)T5G 2R1, AB
NAIT’s Centre for Sensors and System Integration (CSSI) is a Technology Access Centre (TAC) staffed with professional researchers to support businesses on applied research and development projects that deliver a new product, an improved service, or a more efficient process.
Businesses across all major Alberta industry sectors have identified digital transformation as being the critical next step in their operational evolution. CSSI helps address parts of these digitization challenges through prototyping activities in preparation for later commercialization, which in turn enhance a company’s productivity, competitiveness, and innovation.
We may be automating a manual process, trialing the use of existing technology in an innovative way, sourcing an idea from another industry and developing a tool to meet the application, or designing and building something brand new.

| SEM is used to produce images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons. This system is intended for both high- and low-vacuum operations. It also has a variety of imaging modes with valuable capabilities. ~~ DC Sputtering is a thin-film PVD-coating technique where the coating is bombarded with ionized gas molecules causing atoms to be “sputtered†off into the plasma. It is used extensively in the semiconductor industry to create microchip circuitry on the molecular level. ~~ This system uses water jets to cut and machine a wide range of materials from metals and composites to glass and plastics. Its cutting bed size is 48 in × 48 in and can handle a variety of material thicknesses. ~~ A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) Tribometer is used to test the tensile strength, friction, and wear of a diverse range of materials, components, and structures to several ASTM test standards. ~~ This test system is ideally suited to vibration-test small electronic parts, connectors, hand-held units, and mechanical assemblies. It simulates real-world industrial environments. The system is designed to endure severe vibration and shock forces and extreme temperature conditions while testing. ~~ This metal-sintering 3D printer is used for rapid-prototyping of metal parts and components. The printer can print parts in stainless-steel, aluminum, and titanium, with a maximum build size of 250 mm x 250 mm x 300 mm. ~~ This plastics-based 3D printer is used for rapid prototyping for the manufacturing or medical devices industries. It uses FDM technology where parts are built layer by layer by heating and extruding thermoplastic filament. The F370 prints in multiple plastics (ABS, PLA, ASA, PC ABS, FDM TPU 92A) in extremely precise 0.005 in. layer thicknesses, and features a medium build size of 355 mm x 254 mm x 355 mm. | WIMTACH team partner Centennial College Canadian Graduates |
