Go to QUALITY

Your future rests on the quality of your products!
The Model 281 Automatic Test Station assists your quality efforts.
 
Control of Test Parameters
• All test parameters are secured in the host program and accessibility only to authorized personnel.
• Every Product of the same model number receives the same test and has the same parameters applied.
 
Enforcement of Uniform Procedures
• Every operator is guided through a fixed sequence of steps to eliminate inconsistencies in the test procedure.
• Where a number of operator actions are required, message blocks and response devices are used to maintain consistent procedures.
 
Data Acquisition
• Both electrical and physical inspection results are recorded for every product.
• The database of information supports your statistical process control (SPC) program.
 
Quality Audits
• The test stations can be programmed for automatic selection of products for audit.
• Test stations can be programmed to conduct or monitor special audits, while conducting normal test programs. The results of such audits are documented on the data base.
 
Employees Training
• Special message blocks with detailed instruction are provided until the new operator becomes proficient in the test process.
 
Verification of the test station operation and calibration
• Calibration programs guide the technician in performing the scheduled calibration.

• At the start of each shift an automatic functional test verifies the performance of all vital safety circuits.
• The product's model number and serial number are scanned in. Once the product is identified, the test station knows the test parameters to apply. It holds those parameters until a new product is entered.
• Safety type compliance tests are conducted, these normally include ground wire continuity, insulation resistance and dielectric strength.
• Operational tests are then preformed. The tests might include current draw or wattage consumption in various operating modes. Speed, temperature, or coil resistance is often conducted.
• If action or inspection points by the operator are required, they are displayed on the screen.
• The operator enters the inspection points using a bar-coded list of common responses.
• An out of tolerance condition causes the tester to remove all electrical power and alert the operator with a visual and audible alarm. The reset button must be operated to continue.
 • As all actions are completed the test data is retained. A tag or sticker can be printed with results.
