• Biggest DUT Size: 450.00 mm x 450.00 mm [17.716 x 17.716]
Machine has two main blocks:
• PCB Thickness: 0.40 mm – 4.00 mm [0.016 x 0.157]
• Weight (Max.): 4 kg 1. Basic Unit – the part connected directly into production line with internal and external conveyor
system, plus here we perform press-down functions of test fixtures for measurement as well as here
• Maximum component come down from PCB: 35.00 mm is the unit designed to push-out and pull-in test fixtures when change is performed
• DUT can come from right and left direction.
2. Magazine – with ability to feed and store 2 complete fixture units with probe plates and top plates.
• BAR Code or QR Code can be placed from the Top and Bottom as well, on any place on PCBA. Also this is the part, where operator is able to load new fixture and the machine will automatically
• Within the machine, at the same time 2x PBCs can be tested, if Test Fixture designed for dual- well prepare it for next production change, while the other fixture inside of basic unit is able to perform
operation. constantly, non-stop!
Between different DUT sizes and physical limitations, Equip-Test In-Line Handler can automatically change
and adjust conveyors inside the machine. This operation reduces the changing time of a production line
as well as eliminates or dramatically reduces the need of a technical stuff when product change is
performed. To test different PCBA’s, logically 2 different Test Fixtures would be required and customized. Automated Magazine Main Set Test Fixture Placement Direction
Combination of these fixtures can be limited to one already existing type of test fixture on an existing
production line, or can be used 2 different types of fixture kits.

ensures all works fine and at the right time.
Basic frame structure of our machine is a welded steel structure, where all connection points are done
by face milling technology, in order to ensure the maximum flatness and stability of our machine!
Design and colour of our basic machine mirrors main colours of Equip-Test. If any other RAL colour is
preferred, we can paint it according to customer requirements.
Since End-User Friendly Support is among our primary policy, this machine has huge size plexi glass
windows as well as support doors from all sides for easy access. Upper Drawer
Guiding Rails
Machine has coverage and that covers all moving parts of our machine. Each door has a security sensors
and lock, to prevent any potential operation with opened doors!
As already mentioned, our machine can accommodate several different manufacturers test fixture types,
since we use a fixture specific converter unit in all cases. This converter unit converts any type of incoming
interface setup into a standardized size and model we implemented. Most customer specifications can be
reached with our machine concept, depending on size and functions.

While DUT is arriving into the testing unit (Main Unit), on upper side of PCBs, we place Barcode Readers

positions, in order to ensure readability of barcodes on Top of PCB in any angle from the TOP of the
machine. From BOTTOM side we use the same structure of reading BarCodes, but barcode readers are
placed on the basics of conveyor unit.

On picture Nr. 4 can be seen the main structure of Equip – Test In-Line Handler. Pressing down PCBAs are
ensured with the help of integrated pneumatic cylinder (1). Force of this pneumatic cylinder is 12.000

The position of Press-Down Unit movements to up & down can be regulated and controlled with repeatable
preciseness of 0.1 mm. Our Control Electronics uses travel measurement System, which ensures the safe
and precise operation of our machine under any circumstances. 5. Picture - Lower Drawer Roller Path with Mass Connection Plate
Upper Plate (4) of Test Fixture is pulled out into the Basic Measuring Unit, by the help of two parallelly
operated telescopic handles (2). Movement of the telescopic handles is ensured with the help of parallel
driven powered ball screw drive spindles (3). All equipped with step motors and encoders. By designing
and building it this way, the position of telescopic handles became controllable by our software.

6. Picture DUT Conveyor System
On Picture (6), we can see the conveyor system. We can
call it DUT Conveyor as well. This can be opened
maximally until 450 mm (17.717). Parallelity during
change of opening is done by powered driven ball-screw
drive solution with the help of encoders and step
motors.
As the machine is able to receive and test 2x PCBAs, we
created 2 separately controlled and operated stopper
units. These units are flexible and can be setup in 2
different ways, depending on production line orientation.
DUT can arrive from any direction on the conveyor,
