NEW TEST TECHNOLOGY BOOSTS ISO COMPATIBIILITY

The company’s new HAL hi pot flash tester, HAL Scan flash tester and scanner and the G2-Genie combination tester are all equipped with specialist technology which allows simplified test programming using bar codes and the use of pre-determined test codes.

Equipped with an easy to understand user interface, patented test codes and bar code reading facilities allow the high-speed identification of products and appropriate test parameters to provide a fast and repetitive test system.

Tests can be quickly configured into the tester by scanning in pre-defined bar codes that operate as testcodes, making the equipment ideal for any ISO traceable application in QA, Conformance, or Production line applications. Using the bar-code scanner, the tester can also identify the product’s manufactured bar code to initiate one of the stored, pre-configured test sequences as part of a system providing full test results traceability.

These pre-defined bar codes can be generated directly from the test equipment on adhesive labels, or from proprietary Microsoft PC applications for incorporation in live test procedure documents or manuals required as part of ISO quality systems.

Specialist software and a large capacity database, which can store up to 6000 records, gives the new generation of test instruments the ability to store test details and results against individual equipment serial numbers. Test reports can be downloaded directly to a PC or printer for the generation of complete test data records.

In addition the networking of test data with central management information systems allows the test station to become an important data collection point, not only in identifying failure rates, but also providing details of productivity levels and other information as part of quality audit trails.
