Fully automated tester for electric safety compliance testing

for medical devices

Overview
Electrical safety testing is an essential part of product verification in both development and series production. Whether for medical devices, charging infrastructure or household appliances, compliance with standards such as DIN EN, VDE, IEC or UL is mandatory. bott provides modular test system solutions to perform electrical safety testing precisely, with documentation and efficiency — from manual test stations to semi-automatic systems and fully automatic test lines.

Test types

• High-voltage test (HV) — assess the insulation strength of the device under test.
• Protective conductor test (PE test) — verify the functional safety of the protective earth conductor.
• Insulation resistance measurement — early detection of potential insulation breakdowns.
• Leakage current measurement — verify safety against indirect contact.
• Functional test — check compliance with standards and intended use.
• Voltage and current measurement — monitor operational safety in use.
• Impulse voltage (surge) test — diagnose winding shorts, layer and phase faults.

Modular test systems

• Manual test stations for flexible single-unit testing (laboratory, R&D).
• Semi-automatic systems with defined test sequences and guided operation.
• Fully automatic test lines with test sequence control, MES/ERP integration and automatic result documentation, including contacting of the device under test.

Integration & Documentation

• Standards-compliant test concepts and complete, traceable logging of test results.
• Optional integration into manufacturing IT (MES/ERP) for automated process chains and quality evidence.
• Safe operating guidance, access concepts and protective measures to comply with relevant protection classes.
