Test-it-off

🔍 Critical PCB Tests for Quality and Reliability 🔍 To ensure PCBs are reliable and perform as expected, several tests are essential: 1️⃣ Visual Inspection 2️⃣ Continuity Testing 3️⃣ Functional Testing (FCT) 4️⃣ Environmental Testing 5️⃣ Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) 6️⃣ X-Ray Inspection 7️⃣ In-Circuit Testing (ICT) 8️⃣ Flying Probe Testing 9️⃣ Burn-In Testing 🔟 Solderability Testing These tests help identify potential issues early in the manufacturing process. 🛠️🔧 We have already discussed ICT and FCT testing of PCBs in the past. Other testing methods will be covered in future posts.

FCT vs. ICT: Key differences in PCB testing 👇 🔍 Functional testing (FCT) and In-Circuit Testing (ICT) are the two primary methods of testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) to ensure their quality and functionality. Although both types of testing aim to detect defects and ensure reliability, they differ in approach and application. 🔹Functional testing (FCT) Goal: Verify that the PCB functions properly under real-world conditions. Method: Simulate real operating conditions and test the functionality of all components. Benefit: Ensures that all parts of the PCB work correctly as a whole. Use: Ideal for final inspection before shipping the product to the customer. 🔹In-Circuit Testing (ICT) Purpose: To verify the correct wiring and functionality of individual components on a PCB. Method: Use of test probes to measure the electrical properties of individual components. Benefit: Quick detection of manufacturing defects such as bad connections or defective components. Use: Suitable for quick inspection during the manufacturing process. 🔹Key differences Scope of testing: FCT tests the board as a whole, while ICT focuses on individual components. Time-consuming: ICT is usually faster than FCT because it does not require simulation of real operating conditions. Fault detection: ICT is effective at detecting manufacturing defects, while FCT ensures that the board functions correctly in the real world. 🔹Why is it important to distinguish between FCT and ICT? Each method has its place in the quality assurance process. ICT is great for quickly detecting manufacturing defects, while FCT provides assurance that the final product will function correctly in real-world conditions. The combination of both methods ensures comprehensive quality control and PCB reliability. Our Test-it-off robotic quality inspector of the future uses ICT/FCT testers from leading brands such as UNITES Systems etc. More at https://lnkd.in/ehWkZQ6k 👈 #FCT #ICT #PCBTesting #QualityControl #KINALI #TestItOff #QualityInspectorOfTheFuture

Test-it-off in its original idea was created for one specific field. ✨👇 Although Test-it-off can handle almost any material and product (we've talked about this a lot), it was originally designed for one specific area - testing printed circuit boards (PCBs). Most of our Test-it-off applications are equipped with FCT/ICT testers that are used for off-the-line PCB testing. Now our research and development activities are focused on this area, with the aim of offering the best solution for automating PCB testing, especially in High-Mix Low-Volume production environments. Fully automated, robust solutions already exist for high-volume PCB testing. Test-it-off, however, focuses on helping those manufacturers who work with smaller volumes - whether for in-house development, for example in the production of specific electronics, or as subcontractors of special components for other companies.

Where can you successfully control quality today thanks to modern technology? There are many quality criteria that Test-it-off can check. Depending on the inspection technology used (PCB testers vs. optical quality control) you can check: - Dimensions 📏 - Correct colors 🌈 - Color consistency over the entire product surface 🌫️ - Material or product defects ⛓️💥 - Shapes and dimensional stability 🚪 - Correctness of material processing 🔩 - Functionality (PCB etc.) 💡 And we certainly don't stop there. Everything that a human 🙎♂️ can check, a Test-it-off 🤖 can check too. And often much better. Because it is not subject to fluctuations in work quality, subjectivity or even fatigue. 😴 Interested?

You can't do it without fingers or suction cups! 🫳 In order for Test-it-off to inspect your products or input material for production, it must somehow "hand them over" from the point of storage. This is, of course, what AUBO Robotics robots are for. But! An AUBO robot is an arm, and each arm must have fingers or some other way to grasp a given physical object. That's what the grippers are for in collaborative robots. 🤖 These can be two-fingered, three-fingered, or fitted with one or more suction cups. Suction cups are used where the grippers cannot be manipulated with fingers due to the fit or for materials that could be damaged by mechanical gripping. In its solutions, Kinali uses grippers from brands such as OnRobot, Robotiq and SCHUNK - Hand in hand for tomorrow, which are among the world's leading brands. 👌 More at https://testitoff.cz/en 👈 #TestItOff #QualityControl #QualityInspectorOfTheFuture #KINALI #Schunk #OnRobot #Automation #Robotics #Cobots #Robotiq

How good are the eyes of your quality controller? 👁️ For optical quality control in Test-it-off we use a set of high-end industrial lenses from VICO Imaging. The whole camera system with professional lenses allows you to test dimensions, colours and surfaces. It finds the slightest deviations that the human eye would not notice. It can do all this at measurement speeds of milliseconds and with micrometer accuracy. And it even does this for materials where optical inspection may seem like science fiction. Wood, for example.

It would be a strange solution for automated testing if it could not cope with the need to change instruments on its own. 🦾 You may need a double-ended gripper for some parts under test. For others, a vacuum gripper with a single suction cup. For large PCBs, you might need a gripper with two suction cups. Etc. With solutions like Smartshift Robotics Tool Changer or TripleA robotics Wingman, Test-it-off can handle the required tool changes without operator assistance. It can thus truly operate autonomously and give absolute meaning to the term "unattended". 👌 More at https://testitoff.cz/en #TestItOff #QualityControl #QualityInspectorOfTheFuture #KINALI #Smartshift #TripleA #Wingman #Robotics #Automation #IndustrialAutomation

EasyRobotics robotic bases further increase the flexibility of the Test-It-Off solution. 🦾 For example, the ProFeeder X variant provides you with up to 10 trays for products or components that the collaborative robot can handle on its own. It pulls out products for testing or stores tested pieces in them. In contrast, you can easily move the ProFeeder Flex or EasyWork to wherever in production the test-it-off location is most logistically convenient. But the possibilities certainly don't end there. Under the EasyRobotics brand, you'll find more than a dozen different variants from which you're sure to find the right one. 👍 More at https://testitoff.cz/en 👈 #TestItOff #QualityControl #QualityInspectorOfTheFuture #KINALI #EasyRobotics #AUBO #Automation #IndustrialAutomation #TechInnovation

It was originally designed to facilitate quality control mainly for electronics and PCB manufacturers. Over time, we have found many other applications for it. Such as the inspection of rubber products and components or metal workpieces. ⚙️ Today, Test-it-off can handle the quality control of virtually any small product weighing up to 20 kg. This is due to the load capacity of the integral part of the solution, the AUBO collaborative robots. 🤖 Are you looking for a versatile solution for testing the quality of different products or components?
