EMC test software evolves for compliance
Teseq has made further enhancements to its market leading Compliance 3 EMC test software, updating to the latest standards, and simplifying switching between PCs.
The advantage of robotic testing is that the test procedures are automated, and precisely executed.
This frees specialised personnel from tedious, repetitive work, avoids possible operator error and ensures a level of repeatability that cannot be achieved with manual testing.
The NSG 439 provides a turnkey solution for robotic test applications, is compact and is supplied in a specially tailored housing.
It features a specialised robotic air discharge adapter fitted with a built-in bleed resistor to remove residual charge.
Testing is fully compliant with IEC/EN61000-4-2 and ISO10605.
Multiple robot attachment points may be employed and a large variety of special tips are available with easily exchangeable simulation networks Paul Dixon, Managing Director of Teseq comments: "The launch of the NSG 439 robotic tester takes our ESD test product range to a new level of user convenience".
"Teseq will provide the NSG 439 hardware modules to robot integrators or end customers with their own robot production engineering and work with them to ensure customer satisfaction through a detailed analysis of the test requirements, project management, implementation and maintenance".
Automatic ESD testing is an ideal solution for complex peripheral devices featuring modern bus systems with multiway connectors.
The increasing miniaturisation of components and the more compact nature of connectors makes conventional air discharge testing very difficult, which may result in unforeseen discharge paths.
The NSG 439 can be fitted a test adapter, the INA 4431, which provides the first practical method to carry out air-discharge tests on individual connector pins, unlike conventional test methods.
Teseq provides a traceable calibration certificate with each tester, and accredited calibration services are also available from Teseq calibration labs on request. Request a free brochure from Teseq ...
