Switch probes cut maintenance in automotive tests
The P201/GI Series from Peak Test Services is a range of switch probes designed for use in test modules for checking wiring harnesses in the automotive industry.
High-current test probes handle up to 50A
Peak Test Services has introduced a new range of high-current test probes for applications such as burn-in tests and power-supply testing.
Stamping can be carried out in most configurations and directions likely to be encountered, including right, left, horizontal, vertical and from the bottom up.
A variety of standardised marker inserts are available, including production date, week/year or month/year.
Letters and numbers can be combined as desired, and font sizes of 3 or 4 mm are possible.
Additional characters such as logos or pictographs can be produced to customer specifications.
A range of stamp inks is available to suit surfaces such as metal, anodised parts, plastic, ceramic and printed-circuit boards.
The marking procedure is controlled by built-in electronics which monitors the motor current and controls the position and direction accordingly.
After the product is marked, the motor is reversed and the stamping arm moves back towards the stamp pad holder.
When returning to its home position, the motor current is reduced to a minimum, and the stamp pad holder is sealed with the remaining application force to prevent the ink from drying out.
The marker is supplied in a rugged aluminium case with simple plug-in cable connections.
It operates off a 5 or 1-24V DC supply.
Typical stamping time is 1s, cycle time is 2.5s, and stamp change takes 30s.
Life expectancy is more than one million working cycles.
