Electronics Testing

These machines are capable of testing capacitors and varistors at production rates of up to 9,000 chips per minute. Multiple tests are simultaneously performed on chips as small as 0402 on an advanced handler using non-jamming patented rotary technology.

Material Testing

These machines test the material properties of metals, plastics, elastomers, films, fibers, foods, fluids, biomaterials and bio-tissues such as cartilage, muscle tissue, etc.

Types of tests include: dynamic and static testing. Tension, compression, elasticity, indentation, fatigue, creep, rheology, flexure, torsion, impact, and hardness.

Hard Disk and Wafer Testing

Silicon wafer probe and wafer handlers. With the chips still on the wafer they are functionally tested using a test fixture with hundreds needles that contact tiny metal pads on the surface of each chip. The probes send and measure signal responses from the chips.

Hard Disk tester/analyzers certify that hard disk tracks are within distortion and roundness tolerances. They also make measurements of read/write head geometries. Servo enhanced machines have linear position repeatability better than 0.5nm.

Metrology

Metrology is the physical measurement of objects. This can be simple one dimensional measurements such as length, or full 3-dimensional scans.

The profilometer shown on the left makes 3D non-contact measurements using lasers with phase shift interferometery. The Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) on the right has interchangeable measuring options including Vision, Touch, Analog Scanning and Laser.

Metrology machines are used on the production floor for dimensional inspection for real-time quality control. They are also used for reverse engineering or to quickly import an object into a 2D or 3D CAD model.

These machines transform virtual 3-D models on the computer into exact physical replicas (with 0.0015 inch accuracy). Structures are built by putting down one thin layer at a time. There are two basic methods. One involves "printing" (through an ink-jet process) liquid adhesive on fine-powder layers of plaster. The other uses a nozzle to deposit layers of molten polymer on a support structure.

Finished pieces can be used:

• As-is for end-use parts
• For fabrication and assembly purposes
• As prototypes before remanufacturing to the final material (such as metal or plastic).

Newer machines boast large build envelopes (36x24x36 inches) for large parts.
