TestautomationIn the field of testing/test automation, Schleuniger offers customers everything they need from a single source. Like no other supplier combines Schleuniger testing intelligence (test devices and their software) and highest competence in mechanical engineering.

In mechanical engineering we use standardized modules in order to offer solutions that are both first-class and cost-effective. If required, we are also able to create custom-made solutions for your highly specific test needs. Our solutions enable you to test cables and cable harnesses, as well as plug connectors and electromechanical assemblies with regard to a variety of criteria.

EasyTest 1000Simple, compact and cost-effective

The table systems that are assembled using standard components from the EasyTest 1000 series are characterized by simple handling and minimum space requirements. The parts feed for these systems is exclusively manual. For this reason, the EasyTest 1000 systems are our most cost-effective implementations. They are primarily used for electrical testing of small cable harnesses.

12

FlexiTest 2000The flexible, basic platform

Systems from the FlexiTest 2000 series are the basic platform for our automation systems. They can be equipped with up to five infeed axes and enable the user to respond flexibly to version changes. The exchange of part-specific modifications with the corresponding program change is extremely simple. Hence, the operator can implement the change to a new product within the shortest possible time. Systems from the FlexiTest 2000 series are ideal for testing sample parts and pilot series because the applied modifications can continue to be used when the product goes into series production and automated testing is implemented. This means that during the introductory phase of a new product, the parts are tested with the same equipment as during the subsequent series production. With this test-on-demand approach, we support our customers with production start-ups and with the spare parts business. We would be happy to carry out the testing of your initial component for you, naturally with the corresponding test certificate.

EcoTest 3000Reliable handling of large volumes and complexity

Systems from the EcoTest 3000 series are semi-automatic solutions. They represent the ideal bridge between higher volumes and high complexity. EcoTest 3000 systems enable the operator to handle complex components and hybrid assemblies, while the system takes care of testing and process tasks. The systems use two workpiece carriers, which significantly reduce the complexity compared with highly automated systems, but still maintain attractive cycle times. EcoTest 3000 systems have a modular design and can easily be modified for new variants. They are designed for medium volumes.

14

RotaryTest 4000Rotative test solution for high volumes

It’s all in the name – the basis for our systems from the RotaryTest 4000 series is a round table that is equipped with workpiece carriers. Our basic versions come with either six, ten, or fourteen workpiece carriers. RotaryTest 4000 systems are usually equipped with an electrical testing system, camera testing, labelling, and an unloading handling system. Additional processes can also be integrated. RotaryTest 4000 systems are designed for high volumes with a minimum cycle time of four to five seconds. They can be set up with both semi-automatic and fully automatic feed-in systems.

MultiTest 5000Highly flexible testing of short to medium length cables

The MultiTest 5000 provides the highest level of testing flexibility. Systems from the MultiTest 5000 series are based on a workpiece carrier circulation system. A standardized setup enables a maximum of six processes to be carried out. Additional process steps can be added, however, this means that the system can no longer be set up as a standardized platform. MultiTest 5000 systems are mainly used to process short to medium length cables, with connectors on at least one end. As a general rule, components are fed into the systems manually. However, the unloading can be carried out fully automatically. MultiTest 5000 systems function with a minimum cycle time of five to six seconds.

SpecialTest 9000Tailored entirely to your requirements

SpecialTest 9000 solutions are systems that are not based on our platform technology. This means that starting with the white-sheet design, through to the processes and the software, the concepts are tailored entirely to the customer’s requirements. The resulting solutions can involve robot cells, unorthodox testing applications, or extensively interlinked individual machines. There are no limits to SpecialTest 9000 systems, as long as they can be combined with our testing applications. Our staff works together with you to develop the best possible solution, prepare the specification sheet, and implement your system.

TAC – Test Application ComponentsThe basis of test automation

Test Application Components (TAC) includes all components required to implement the testing tasks in a system. The heart of these testing systems is formed by our high-quality test devices, of which we offer a wide portfolio together with the corresponding adapters. In addition to test devices, Schleuniger offers complete modules in the TAC category, which can be integrated into a test system. With these components, our customers establish the interface to our know-how. Naturally, we apply all our expertise to support our customers during the implementation of the integration.

18

Test Systems and SoftwareThe heart of our test systems

The portfolio of our standard test devices ranges from simple low-voltage tests, such as testing for continuity and short circuits, right through to high-voltage tests up to 2 KV DC (AC optional). Our automatable AST/AST-H test system combines our entire testing expertise in a single device.

Standardized interfaces are as much a natural part of our test devices as are the graphical display of results and meaningful statistics.

Die Erstellung von effektiven und perfekten Prüfapplikation basiert auf erprobten Standards und ei-nem modularen und solidem Baukastensystem. Diesem Anspruch folgend haben wir in den letzten 15 Jahren unser Prüfzellenkonzept immer mehr verfeinert. Die in dieser Zeit entstandenen Applika-tionen reichen von einfachen elektrischen Kontaktierungen über visuelle Prüfungen bis hin zu hoch-genauen Baugruppentests. Immer mehr Applikationen benötigen nicht nur den Test und die Ve-rifizierung, sondern die Programmierung und Optimierung innerhalb der eigentlichen Prüfung. Diese Anforderungen bestmöglich zu erfüllen, war schon immer unser Ziel. Aus diesem Grund haben wir vor über 10 Jahren damit begonnen unsere Prüfsysteme hierfür zu optimieren. Der TouchOne und der AST (applica-tion spezific tester) sind das Ergebnis dieser Entwicklung. Beide Systeme vereinigen optimal Testfunktionalität, Visualisierung und Steuerung der Prüfaufgabe. Damit hat der Anwender immer nur eine Bedienoberfläche. Er muss sich nicht mit unterschiedlichen Systemen vertraut machen, sondern befindet sich immer im gleichen System. Unsere Prüfzellen bieten jedoch noch einen weiteren, erheblichen Vorteil gegenüber allen anderen Systemen. Die Inbetriebnahme und der Service lassen sich wesentlich einfacher durch-führen. Fertige Softwaremodule und nur eine globale Steuerung vereinfachen die Umsetzung Ihrer Prüfaufgabe.
