Torque & Force Analysis Instrument
A measurement instrument for characterizing switches, connectors, fasteners and actuators with a repeatable, documented test method.
Testing Jigs & Instruments
Functional Test Jig (FCT)
Bed-of-nails or edge-connector fixturing that exercises every function and stores the result.
Why this product
What it gives you
Full-function coverage
Power rails, digital I/O, analog channels, communications and self-test routines are all exercised in a single pass.
Repeatable contact
Guided probe plates and a controlled clamp force keep contact resistance stable across thousands of cycles.
Recorded results
Each unit is tested against limits and the outcome is stored per serial number for traceability.
What it does
The fixture combines a mechanical interface that locates and clamps the board with an interface that connects power, stimulus and measurement. Test limits and sequences are held in an editable file, so a change in the product specification is a data change rather than an engineering project.
The same fixture can run in manual mode on a bench or be automated by integrating the pneumatics and barcode reader with your line control.
Applications
- End-of-line functional testing of controllers and drivers
- In-circuit style checks where accessibility is limited
- Repair and rework verification stations
- Incoming inspection of purchased assemblies
What we hand over
- One fixture body with probe plate for your board outline
- Test program for your nominated variants
- Barcode reader integration for serial-number tracking
- Calibration certificate and spares kit
