Experience with devices under test (DUTs) of all kinds
Our engineers have longstanding and cross-industry experience when it comes to contacting printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic modules or devices. We successfully worked with various custom formats as well as products that are very hard to contact. Based on your product model or 3D product data, we offer to take care of the complete test adapter design and production process. Of course, we will optimise your custom test adapter or fixture for reliable and fast test cycles in your individual environment.
High-quality products for every requirement level
All our test adapters and fixtures are designed for the high demands of industrial applications. Thereby, we offer suitable solutions for every requirement level: from the cost-efficient test adapter for small batch production to the highly rugged solution for mass production.
We offer a wide range of pre-planned test adapters for different sizes of DUTs and with plenty of customisation options. For some adapter types, you can use online configurators and receive a price estimate right away. If you have more complex requirements, we will be looking forward to your contact enquiry!
Test adapters for automated production lines
If desired, the insertion and removal of your DUT can be carried out autonomously. We are willing to work with any DUT handling system, thus our test adapters can easily be integrated into your automated production line.
With the help of strain gauges, we can measure the stress in printed circuit boards while they are inserted in a test adapter. The results allow us to identify and remove potential overstraining. Consequently, your products are better protected against failure in their future service life.
Besides our own solutions, we offer the adapter customisation of well-known third-party products, e. g. from INGUN, ATX, Equip-Test or GPS-Prüftechnik. Thereby, we source original parts and deliver the same quality as the original manufacturers.
Typical project flow for a test adapter design
1. Requirements engineering
We discuss and analyse the test requirements of your DUT.
2. Conceptual design
Our engineers develop an optimal test adapter design for your requirements.
3. Presentation and approval
We present our concept and fine-tune it together with you.
4. Prototype construction
We construct a prototype of your test adapter and wait for your final approval.
5. Procurement
We procure required components and plan our production capacities.
6. Production and delivery
We produce the ordered amount of test adapters and deliver them.
