Custom ATE Solutions

Software, Electrical, Mechanical Design and Manufacture.

Automated Test

Automating test increases the consistency of manufacture and testing. Peak Production specialises in the automation of functional test. Using automation reduces test time and increases consistency of testing while allowing qualified people to do other more skilled work. We use various methods to automate movement within systems. These include pneumatics, electrical powering of devices and sensors to detect limits of travel and position of products before proceeding with further tests.

Automating

At the centre of the automated system is a computing device. This could be a PC, specialised PXI rack, embedded controller or a PLC. Using output modules to set actuators and input modules for detection the system runs automatically. With the use of multiplexor and relay modules, signals can be routed to test equipment, reducing the number of measurement devices needed within the system. For the control system to function, software is needed to control and monitor connected devices. Further enhancements could include network communications to databases, websites and other control systems. Software is programmed at our facilities in Letchworth Garden City by Peak Production using the following platforms:
