Standalone

The Circuit Check 1000 Series ATE provides a configurable standard platform that can utilize multiple mass interconnect interfaces while providing ease of maintenance and the ability to accept a wide variety of test fixture solutions. With the 1000 Series ATE, test procedures become automatic, with test steps and go/no-go limits easily programmable.

A key to achieving the maximum value from automated test equipment is using the same test equipment and fixture mechanics to test multiple products. Circuit Check’s 1000 Series ATE achieves this by using a variety of industry standard Mass Interconnect solutions to the interchangeable fixturing. In addition there is optional interchangeable fixture drop-ins that can reduce costs associated with testing a family of products. These interchangeable components enable the same test system to be quickly reconfigured with new tooling for different products. The 1000 Series fixtures will support probes on the topside, bottom-side, bi-level or dual stage, as well as through-connector test. The 1000 Series is configured to customer specific test needs in order to maximize performance at a lower investment, supporting both traditional, VXI, and PXI instrumentation.

Modular Chassis Architectures for Lower Lifecycle Costs

The 1000 Series ATE is built upon a modular test rack architecture for ease of maintenance and redeployment as test system needs change. Each 1000 Series includes:

  • Twenty-four (24) inch racks to allow for easier component access.
  • Removable side panels for ease of maintenance and expansion when adding additional hardware.
  • Interposer boards to lower costs and improve reliability.
  • Solid one-half inch hard coated aluminum top plate to allow for larger fixtures, rigid mounting of brackets and bar code readers/printers.
  • Delrin slide plates to ease change-out of fixtures and aligning to mass interconnect.
