Pneumatic test-fixtures play an important role in the testing and measuring technology. They contact the DUT and the electronic measuring equipment electrically by implementing spring contact probes. In this segment Feinmetall, Germany, has designed and developed a new revolving plate test fixture, which is not only capable for functional test, but also includes other important features. The pneumatically operated revolving plate test fixtures allows testing and handling of two printed circuit boards or components simultaneously. Due to the compact modular design the contacting can not only be effected from the top, but optionally also from the bottom or laterally. Both the active areas have each a dimension of 160 x 100 mm, with variable contacting sets. While a circuit board is tested on one half of the revolving plate, the second DUT can be placed on the other half. This has a clear advantage of reduced handling time and providing a significant higher performance in comparison to standard fixtures. Due to the separated placement and test areas unintentional contacts are avoided. An integrated light curtain in the placing area shields possible damages or injuries to the operator by immediately stopping the revolving plate. The revolving plate test fixture can be connected to customer specific In-Circuit Test (ICT) systems with an interface. The integrated SPS allows thereby a direct communication with the ICT. The company also offers complete solutions in collaboration with qualified partners.
