In electrical end-of-line (EOL) testing of printed circuit boards, the HIWIN CV linear motor axis, acting as a high-speed vertical axis, handles the precise positioning and placement of a test probe onto defined measurement points. This enables electronic assembly groups to be automatically tested for electrical functionality, ensuring reliable quality assurance at the end of the manufacturing process.
In automated printed circuit board testing, high cycle rates, precise positioning and reproducible measurement results are crucial. The HIWIN CV-axis moves the test probe with high dynamic response and places it in a controlled manner onto the contact points of the printed circuit board. This allows electrical connections, component functions and circuit states to be tested safely and reliably.
Thanks to direct linear motor technology, the HIWIN high-speed vertical axis achieves short response times and supports a high number of test cycles. This helps to speed up testing processes and increase productivity in electronics manufacturing. At the same time, precise positioning ensures high measurement accuracy and process reliability throughout the system’s entire life cycle. The high repeatability of the HIWIN CV-axis ensures consistently high test quality, even during continuous operation and high cycle counts.
Unlike pneumatic solutions, the HIWIN CV-axis operates with low wear and enables precise control of movement and position. This reduces maintenance effort and downtime, whilst increasing the long-term reliability of the test system. The solution supports modern test automation in electronics manufacturing and enables reliable electrical functional testing for high-volume production.
The HIWIN CV linear motor axis is ideally suited for automated printed circuit board testing, end-of-line electrical testing and other test automation applications. This enables test processes to be accelerated, test quality to be improved and downtime to be reduced. Optimise your printed circuit board testing with HIWIN’s precise and highly dynamic axis systems.
