Test Equipment

Production test equipment should be viewed not so much as an additional cost but as a means of making significant savings in product costs. Firstly manufacturing costs can be reduced by appropriate in-process tests that reduce problems in what are often fully assembled units that subsequently need dis-assembly for repair. This rework usually has to be undertaken by skilled personnel who understand the product operation, and depending on the complexity and techniques used may consume a lot of valuable time finding a problem that can often be screened with the appropriate test equipment.

Secondly while many product final tests will determine that the unit functions correctly under a specified set of conditions there may still be items missing or not connected that come into play only when the conditions change, very often these can only be tested in-process. Presuming that these are correct and in place can result in failures in the field which could have the effect of simply the odd return to a catastrophic serious recall. The correct test strategy can avoid this & generally this involves the inclusion of some in-process tests.

Elektrotek supplies a range of test equipment that addresses a lot of these test situations and will always be glad to offer advice in this area.
