Functional safety test system

for the electronics industryon siteautomatic

Overview
Mobile turnkey test system for soldering irons and soldering stations, designed for in-line or flexible production use.

Industry
Electrical / electronics industry

Task
Soldering irons and stations with several hundred watts of power are increasingly complex. To ensure consistent safety and functional quality after production, each device must be tested. The customer manufactures many different product variants, so a highly flexible contacting solution and integrated power supply from the test system are required.

Solution
The turnkey system comprises test electronics, PC with configurable software and a DUT fixture. A mobile test table provides flexibility for production environments.

• Pneumatic contacting unit plus contact plate allow contacting of diverse DUTs without system modification.
• Two‑hand safety operation triggers the automatic high-voltage test sequence.
• The freely programmable compact tester KT 1886 executes safety and function tests.
• A fully electronic, programmable source supplies required voltages and frequencies worldwide.

Benefits

• Programmable electronic source 50–260 V AC/DC, max. 13 A AC
• Long service life and maintenance-friendly design
• Parameters and settings changeable via PC/software
• Workplace safety compliant with EN 50191
