Overview
The OLS400 is a compact, semi-automatic off-line handler designed for Functional Testing (FCT), Boundary Scan Testing (BST), and other PCB validation technologies throughout the manufacturing process.
Operating independently from the main production line, the system allows PCBs or assemblies to be removed and tested in a dedicated validation cell, without disrupting production flow.
The OLS400 integrates a robotic arm for safe, ergonomic fixture handling, with the capability to feed up to four handlers.
Combining pneumatic press technology with modular instrumentation integration, the system delivers outstanding flexibility, high repeatability and precision, as well as fast changeover, making it ideal for high-mix, low- to mid-volume manufacturing environments.
Product Configuration
- Compact automation cell design with integrated collaborative robotics
- Modular architecture comprising the handler and a dedicated instrumentation cart housing the testing equipment
- Dual pneumatic cylinder press system for reliable test contact
- Press plate guided by precision linear guides, ensuring stable and controlled parallel movement
- Mass interface connection through ODU and multi-pin interface blocks, with spring probe contacts integrated in the fixture (bed-of-nails)
- Automatic fixture locking system with controlled bottom lock mechanism
- Integrated Poka-Yoke system preventing incompatible fixture installation
- 14U rack space available for instrumentation integration
- Machine control via MQTT over TCP/IP, enabling integration with third-party test applications (LabVIEW™, TestStand…)
- Real-time data monitoring enabled by integrated sensors
- Removable doors, providing full and easy access to all areas of the station and enabling quick maintenance.
Main Applications
The OLS400 is engineered for high-reliability PCB validation with optional coverage reporting, CGK/CPK repeatability studies, and full traceability and MES integration.
It is particularly attractive for EMS providers, R&D labs, low-to-mid volume production lines, and customers requiring frequent product changes or seeking cost-effective alternatives to large in-line test systems.
It’s fully customizable according to customers’ requirements.
