Getting the level of results you want may require different test stations and test devices depending on the product you want to test and the type of business you run. As an example, a mobile test station is very adaptable and can help many different types of businesses in a cost-effective way. There are many ways to change it to fit your needs, and you can get a lot of test answers with just one buy. When checking similar types of products and setups, a universal test station can do more and be more accurate.

Custom Proof and Acceptance Testing

For test stations, test devices, and other choices, EMC Technologies talks to each client to find out what they need before suggesting a solution. For instance, our customers in the telecoms industry are always looking for low-cost choices that can be changed to handle both large-scale testing and more complicated testing for new products. We’ve also had clients in the medical equipment business who needed strict proof and acceptance testing. People who work in the hardware and software industries often ask for solutions that can be co-developed at the same time to save money, time, and meet their specific needs.

People who need to test a specific product and only need one easy type of test will often ask us about our test-specific units. The mobile test station and general test station can be easily changed to run different types of tests. The test-specific stations, on the other hand, can only run one type of test. Active and inactive electrical loads, load simulators, and mechanical-only holding, clamping, or multi-axis stations are some of the features that can be included. EMI, RF, and EMC testing choices are also available on test units that meet the requirements. You can get stations for temperature and vibration, as well as stations for video, infrared, laser, and barcode sensors, as well as stations with combined electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.

A movable computer-based test machine is often the best choice for all of these fields. There are many choices for mobile test station solutions, and they are not too expensive. Our portable test station has a computer and monitor that are built in, as well as test connections that are both flexible electrical and mechanical. To save our customers money, we help them get the most out of “off the shelf” parts and components. Our experts make sure that our test stations are well-organized and that the wiring and setups are written down so that growth areas, as well as a number of test adapters, panels, and plates, can be used easily. Each mobile test station has “quick access” to all of its tools built in.

Universal Test Station vs Mobile Test Station

But we do have some clients who would rather use a general test station because it has more benefits than a mobile test station. The rack-based test stations can provide more accurate test solutions and have a wider range of expansion options compared to the mobile form. All of the choices are offered à la carte to help keep costs down for everyone. To save even more money and get the most out of their investment, clients can pick options that can be used on related product types and setups. Like the mobile test station, our universal test station has “quick access” to all of its tools built in. This makes it easier to change and test more than one product.

Besides these great features, our universal test station solutions also have front rack shelves that slide out. This makes it easy for the user to take instruments and access them for calibration. You can switch out the center fixture receiver backplane fixture for other fittings to make the system even more unique. For each part type and family, there are small personality cards that can be used to connect to the test station. Soft tie downs and wire harnesses can be used to keep track of and organize the simple moving of test adapters and other parts. Our global test station also talks to the testing equipment inside the test stations through an IEEE 488 bus that runs LabVIEW software.
