Wiring analyser allows rapid testing
The Horizon II is capable of 128-point testing, with the possibility of expanding up to 1024 points, with the capability of switching 1A and hipot testing up to 1500V DC and/or 1067V AC.
Enclosures protect against shocks
The risk of an electric shock during product testing is completely eliminated with the latest range of test fixtures and enclosures from electrical safety testing specialist Clare Instruments.
These systems will typically incorporate the product function tests, to further improve the automation of the process, and dramatically increase process productivity.
In many cases, the functional power requirements of some electrical and electronic products will dictate that they cannot be tested directly using standard off the shelf equipment.
Clare's bespoke service overcomes such problems and has been used to design and build systems for functional load tests up to 100A, in both single and three phase applications, including line leakage measurement.
In addition, test systems can be linked to integral and proprietry industrial label printers for the immediate output of pass/fail test labels for attachment to products.
Networking of test stations with central control software and data management systems also means that test data can be made available for full quality and product management control functions.
LabView user interface software has also been exploited on larger complex projects.
To ensure that the testing of electrical/electronic products is completely safe for operators, purpose designed test fixtures with safety interlocks can be used as part of fully or semi-automatic test stations, complete with high visibility beacons and other safety accessories required by EN50191.
The Clare bespoke electrical test design and development service also extends to cover full installation, commissioning, training and high levels of ongoing technical support. Request a free brochure from Clare Instruments ...
