A simple test strategy, decided on from the outset, could REDUCE COSTS, IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY and FREE UP your Test Engineers to
develop more Test applications.
Test Frame provides a proven, fully integrated ATE frame with integrated Fixture Interface, allowing all your test hardware and
resources to be housed in one easily movable frame.
Fitted with test hardware of your choice, cabled up to a proven low cost Fixture Interface, your company would then be able produce
its own ATE systems fit for today's manufacturing demands.
The standard built-in Fixture Interface accommodates up to 21 interface connectors, and has a maximum of 2,016 test points. These
may be a mix of signal pins, high current, high voltage or RF connections.
Conditioning or Protection circuitry may be added to any of the PCBs to which these interface connectors are attached, thereby
keeping your Test Fixture clear of electronics, and Terotest provide the basic CAD for these as part of the package.
Below the rugged table top, which houses an integrated keyboard tray, there is 16U (711mm) height of rack space to house your PXI
chassis, power supplies and other test instrumentation.
Test Frame also features a 'pull out top Pod' for easy maintenance and cable updates, plus quick panel removal for access all around
the system.
Dual bay Test Frames are also available giving twice the rack space and more than double the table top room.
Test Frame is built to CE standards and as such it is fitted with a low voltage Emergency Stop Switch and mains safety control system,
plus integrated mains distribution and mains sequencing (a feature that PXI systems usually need).
Low cost Test Fixtures and interfacing are a main feature of this system. Terotest provide test Fixture Kits, customised or plain, or
will provide any component part of the Test Fixture to enable companies to produce their own fixture solutions.
Available at any stage of completion, from a bare shell up to a fully built system i.e 'Built to Print'.
Flexible Low Cost Test Frame
Easy Integration of most types of test instrumentation:
PXI 3U & 6U cards
LXI, USB, GPIB, RS-232
16U of 19" rack space for instrumentation in lower rack alone.
Simple 'mass-interconnect' interface included standard.
All test modules cabled through to Fixture Interface.
Up to 2016 Test Points.
Uses low cost reliable connectors, suitable for:
RF, Digital, Analogue, High Voltage, High Current.
Easy access to Fixture Interface via slide-out frame.
Fixed & programmable UUT Power Supplies available.
Instrumentation internally connected to interface.
Larger dual bay & smaller desktop versions available.
Low Cost Text Fixture.
Quick & easy fixture attachment and removal.
Removable cassette fixtures available to reduce overall cost further.
All interface connector types used are based on the DIN 41612 format. Each connector is soldered to a
PCB, which together forms the Test Interface Card (TIC). The rear of the TIC is fitted with the appropriate
PXI cable connector.
