Test System for Antenna Amplifiers

Semiautomatic Rotary Index Table for Assembling and Testing Antenna Amplifiers

The system is designed according to the rotary indexing method as a test station with 6 workstations.

This solution approach provides unbeatable flexibility along with competitive total cost for complex testing tasks with higher quantities and diversity of variants. With its easily exchangeable components, the system is especially suitable for the production of different product variants.

Assembly and marking activities along with testing tasks, such as functional tests, vision systems, ICT/boundary scan and HF test or parts ejection can be combined as required. The advantage of the rotary index table design is also that it requires little space.

• Scanning the data matrix code on the PCB for traceability
• Cover assembly

• Testing the coding of the high-frequency plug
• Screw length sensing
• Clicking the cover into place

• Contacting the HF plug
• Contacting the three-pole "MQS" connector
• Contacting the grounding screw

Station 4: Reserve

Station 5: Laser marking of test pieces

• Barcode legibility check
• Reading the marking by the scanner
• Testing the marking
• Failed parts are placed in the NIO box
• Pneumatic XZ-handling for failed parts
