Test of power electronics
The first tester to perform an incircuit test on power electronics assemblies
Automatic test of big
and complex boards
The SPEA 4080X is designed for adapterless testing of power electronics assemblies – including inverters, power supplies, power supplies and high density assemblies.
The tester easily and automatically transports large and heavy assemblies (15 kg and more) and tests them ultra-fast and with high precision – digital, analog, power electronics, supercapacitors, tests under high voltage or of relays as well as polarity tests and, of course, mechanical elements such as magnets, LEDs, displays, etc.
Furthermore, the system offers additional techniques such as optical testing, flashing or RTC calibration, etc.
Advantages
Testing power boards with the SPEA 4080X offers great advantages:
The failure rate during the final function test (end-of-line test) is almost zero
Reliable and precise diagnosis at component level significantly reduces repair costs. A long and time-consuming search for the cause of the error is no longer necessary.
Early error detection ensures optimized workflows and processes
Test equipment for functional and end-of-line testing can be simplified, reducing overall test time.
Performance features
Max. Component height: 150 mm
The SPEA 4080X has been designed to easily and fully test assemblies with components up to 150 mm high.
No other flying probe tester can test boards with components of this height and even increase the test depth, as it also contacts where needle bed testers reach their limit.
Automated handling of large boards
Operator-free operation, direct integration into SMT lines or test cells
Complete tests
No failures during final functional/EOL test, reduction of field returns.
High throughput
Lowest test costs, Direct integration into SMT lines or test cells
180 contacts/sec
Unique drive technology with linear motors and optical encoders on all axes (X, Y and Z) guarantees maximum acceleration and extremely precise contacting. Unique drive technology with linear motors and optical encoders on all axes (X, Y and Z) guarantees maximum acceleration and extremely precise contacting.
Min. Pad size: 50 µm
The extremely precise contacting accuracy is achieved by linear optical encoders on all axes. The SPEA 4080X contacts 50μm pads at highest speed and absolutely precise without leaving any traces – unique in the flying probe range.
The programmable pressure force and soft landing function ensure that even the most sensitive electronic components (ultra fine pitch, sticky boards during product start-up, flex assemblies) are contacted precisely and quickly without risk of damage.
Highest error coverage
The SPEA 4080X offers the full range of test capabilities with the highest measurement accuracy. The shorter the distance between the needle and the measuring instrument, the faster and more accurate the measurement performed. Therefore, in SPEA Flying Probe systems, the measuring and stimulation instruments are positioned as a test head directly on the needles – the “flying tester concept”. That’s why SPEA testers are the fastest and the most accurate.
Innovative granite chassis
An innovative granite chassis combined with state-of-the-art linear motor technology provides unprecedented contacting precision with extremely fast test speed at low vibration and highest thermal stability.
Compared to conventional iron or steel, natural granite offers the best damping properties and thermal stability, minimizing vibration and deformation effects that would affect accuracy and reliability over time.
Compact footprint: 2.4 m2 (25.83 ft2)
The footprint of the SPEA 4080X is very compact: it requires only 2.2 m2 including inline feed.
Can replace needle bed tester
Due to its speed and the associated high productivity, the SPEA 4080X can easily be used where previously only needle bed testers were used, for example also in high-volume serial production.
High precision measurements
High-precision measurement performance and accuracy (0.1pF), Signal integrity, No degradation of measurement results or interference, Instantaneous signal acquisition, Unique repeat accuracy
Up to 28 Top & Bottom Flying Tools
The eight axes of the SPEA 4080 (4 top + 4 bottom) allow the installation of up to 28 flying tools in total: In addition to the probes with which all electrical tests are performed, a variety of other tools are available to extend the test performance of the SPEA 4080.
