Does every part leaving this line measure the same as the first one did?
These are the measurements that decide the answer, and the ones most often taken badly.
Impedance that is in tolerance at 1 kHz and out of it at the frequency the part will actually see.
Contact resistance drifting as a fixture wears, mistaken for a process shift.
Test time per unit that decides whether the line meets takt or not.
Bareboard and populated-board faults found at test instead of at the customer.
Where the measurements are taken
Component impedance at the working frequency
Production line
A part in tolerance at 1 kHz can be out of tolerance where it will actually be used.
Continuity, isolation and in-circuit measurement
Board test station
The open circuit is found here at the rate the line runs, or it is found by the customer.
Withstand voltage, insulation and leakage current
Safety test bench
The test that decides whether a finished product is allowed to leave the building.
Electrical Safety Testers, Hipot / Insulation / Leakage Testers
Temperature and humidity over long periods
Environment
An electrical drift with no recorded temperature beside it is a number without a cause.
Instruments used in electronic components
Bring us the electronic components measurement you are stuck on.
Describe the installation and the quantity. We will say which instrument group measures it and what the measurement actually needs to resolve.
What has to be true inside the company
Four criteria of innovation, and the reason a measurement can be trusted outside it.
Increasing customer value
Production system
A production system built so that a measurement need turns into a delivered, calibrated instrument without the customer absorbing the delay.
Delivering peace of mind to customers
After-sales service
An instrument is only as good as the number it still reports in year five. After-sales service exists to keep that number trustworthy.
Pursuing productivity and precision
Manufacturing capabilities
Precision is a manufacturing capability before it is a specification. It is held in the process, not promised in the catalog.
Creating new customer value
Collaborative development of new products
When a field has no instrument for the quantity it needs to see, the instrument gets developed with the customer who needs it.
