Online experience of automated optical inspection
Teradyne has released wht it describes as an "online interactive product experience module", or PEM, to promote its Optima 7000 Series of automated optical inspection systems.
It is available with a number of industry-standard fixture interfaces for preserving current investments and minimising transition costs.
System hardware is controlled by Teradyne's worksheet-based software, which is simple to learn and use and which can save days of program development and debug time.
To better support manufacturing operations in China, the TestStation SE provides key operator user interface screens in Chinese or English.
The TestStation SE is fully supported by Teradyne's D2B (design to build) software suite, featuring D2B A3 and D2B Strategist.
D2B A3 is used to translate CAD designs, import bills of materials data, optimise data for selected manufacturing equipment, assign test probe locations and output customised files.
D2B Strategist is a decision-making software solution that enables the deployment of complementary distributed test strategies and the ability to run multiple "what if" scenarios in seconds.
Test capabilities for the TestStation SE include standard shorts and opens testing; analogue value and digital function testing; vectorless opens testing using Deltascan and Framescan; reduced-access boundary scan testing using Teradyne's advanced Victory software; fast programming of onboard Flash and ISP components using Lightning hardware, and combinational testing using optional VXI test instruments.
The TestStation SE provides all these capabilities at a price much lower than any other system in its class and it is backed by Teradyne's worldwide application and service organisations.
The TestStation SE is now available.
Pricing starts at $105,000.
