Guardian FCT Tester
Modular functional testing system (FCT system) for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronic devices
Description
The Guardian test system is a versatile FCT tester. Typical applications include functional testing of electronic assemblies and EOL testing of electronic devices. Due to its high level of versatility, the Guardian functional testing system is suitable for a wide range of test tasks in production, quality assurance and incoming goods inspection across industries.
As a systems manufacturer, we would like to offer you turnkey solutions for your individual use case. Our experienced team is looking forward to consulting you about our test adapters and WinGuard test software. If desired, our field engineers can integrate the Guardian into your production line as well as software environment. More information is available in the tabs “Customisation” and “Service”.
Applications
- Testing analogue and digital assemblies (PCB tests)
- Connection, short-circuit and component testing
- End-of-line tests for devices (EOL tests)
- Firmware programming
- Automation of manual tests
- Alternative to expensive high-end testers
