Pneumatically Powered Bed of Nails Testers
Automator Pneumatic Family
Designed to provide factory assembly line conveyor based pneumatically actuated full test automation. Interchangeable pneumatics and manual lever options provide operation as a fully automated tester or as a manual bench top tester. These functional interchangeable options allow this fixture to grow with you as your production volumes increase. Test plate changeover is a quick 2 minute job. 4 thumbscrews to change the bottom plate and 4 SHC screws to change the top plate. The top plate drops down and slides out with the connector assembly. The bottom plate lifts up and out. The new plates slide back in. All rear panel connectors are mounted to the aluminum bracket on the top plate. This whole top plate assembly slides out together eliminating wiring hassles. Double sided access plate sets use transfer pins to get the signals from the bottom plate up to the top plate.

Multiple Channel Burn In Power Supply
MCPS
The most important features of this burn in power supply is its ability to hold a constant output for each channel even in the event that a unit under test on one channel may short and fail. Since each channel has it''s own transformer, no glitches or voltage spikes can get into any of the other channels. This image shows the results as the second channel from the left is shorted with a small wire and the circuit breaker pops out. Used for burn-in testing and other timed testing where power isolation is required. Very basic simple circuit, see schematic below. Cleans and frees up benchtops, burn in racks and work space clutter. Available in benchtop or rackmount.

Adjustable Press Plate Bed of Nails Testers
Protector Adjustable Family
Designed for testing heavy massive boards. Boards with heavy components like large transformers and inductors can destroy normal test fixtures. This design utilizes a 3 plate system where an internal lever actuated sub plate containing the test pins raises to probe the circuit board when the handle is pulled. Heavy boards can bend and break exposed test pins. Similarly large boards which need to be probed by very small delicate test pins can also benefit from this protected test fixture design. This fixture is recommended in situations where there is a high board mass to pin size ratio and pin protection is required. Front and rear panel modular inserts allow for easy updates and customizations to the user hardware interface.

High Voltage Surge Testers
HVST
The most important features of the surge tester are its ability to test the entire winding insulation system. A high voltage surge generates turn to turn, coil to coil, and phase to phase voltage stress, as well as ground insulation stress. When used as a dielectric test, accurate voltage readings are essential. The HV Surge Tester monitors the voltage directly across the winding under test. This voltage is displayed on an oscilloscope and recorded on the Pass/ Fail LED latch monitor. This voltage will be accurate despite the impedance of the winding being tested. The insulation system can be tested way above the operating voltage because of the brief duration of the applied voltage test pulse. This allows faults to be detected long before they become apparent at operating conditions.

R&D Clamshell Bed of Nails Testers
Rand Press Rods Family
Designed for Research & Development and Pre-Production environments to support often reoccurring product design changes. The primary design focus for this fixture is ease in applying engineering changes and resilience to the abuse of applying multiple engineering changes without damage. In R&D and Preproduction, design changes and updates can occur every week. This Rand fixture, unlike normal test fixtures was designed to be easily taken apart and updated. Constantly disassembling modifying and reassembling a normal bed of nails test fixture over and over again can be a major disaster with wire breakage and test pin bending issues. The modular design of the Rand fixture allows for easy disassembly without flexing the wires or risk of bending test pins. The Rand fixture provides complete easy access for multiple updates requiring machining, drilling and wiring changes.
