Adjustable Test Fixture The TE4000 fully adjustable bed of nails style test fixture can be configured to probe almost any circuit board in just a few hours. Perfect tool for developing tests. Then to be used as a full production tester for evaluating production line test strategy prior to buying perminately drilled test fixtures or while waiting for your drilled fixtures to be delivered. Next, add a desktop or rack mount computer, plug in the data acquisition boards and software. This will create a complete full performance cost efficient functional, in-circuit, or bare board tester. Quick and Simple operation 1. Slide in the 4 tooling pin sliders and center the board under test in the fixture. 2. Slide in and adjust the spring loaded test pins. 3. Slide in and adjust the press down rods. 4. Tighten the clamp rings 5. Wire up the test fixture to front and rear panels. |

| Mechanical The tester is comprised of 2 plates. The top hinged press down plate and a bottom stationary bed of nails plate which holds the tooling pins and spring loaded test pins. 1. The tooling pins and spring loaded test pins are set in the bottom bed of nails plate and are wired to connectors on the back panel and internal circuitry 2. The top press plate can hold up to 10 spring loaded test pins and 30 press down rods to provide a counter force for the bed of nails plate on the bottom. |

View This view with the top cover open. This shows the easy accessibility provided by our fixture designs. The pins shown in this plate will be wire wrapped to the rear panel connectors and an internal power supply and any variety of internal signal conditioning boards. Low speed signals and data pins are wire wrapped directly to the appropriate rear panel connectors where they are cabled out to a data acquisition board. Higher speed signals, and noise sensitive signals are wired with twisted pairs or coaxial cable. 1. Patented High accuracy double rubberized grip bands built inside the clamp rings hold the spring loaded test pins and press down rods ridged. 2. Lever actuated handle provides smooth even actuation through the final compression testing process. 3. A variety of custom cut inlays shown below are available for a variety of common test connectors. 4. The inlays are made with easy to machine .063" aluminum. |

Test Ring Changeover The test fixture was designed to provide quick test ring replacement so that pre-adjusted test rings could be dropped in and used to test multiple products. A test ring holding jig is available for adjusting test rings out of fixutre for customers whith mulitple products who want to minimize fixture down time. Once a ring is a adjusted tightend and wired. You can keep it that way for as long as you need and still use the test fixture to test other products. The top and bottom test rings are removable without loosening the rings and losing the adjustments! Test ring changeover is a quick 2 minuit job. 4 screws to change the bottom ring and 4 screws to change the top ring. The top plate drops down and slides out. The bottom plate drops down and comes out the bottom panel. front and rear panel inlays with mounted connectors wired to the bottom ring will also drop inward and pull out through the bottom. This design allows everything to be removed from the test fixture as one module! The entire bottom ring and connector assemblys slide out together eliminating wiring hassels. New top and bottom test rings slide back in. We pride ourselves in our efficient designs. We emphasize our Understand-it-at-a-glance motto for intuitive easy to learn operation. |
