AutoPoint DT
The AutoPoint DT system is a small desk-top flying probe system that provides automatic probing of an electronic circuit. Tasks that were previously accomplished with time-consuming manual methods can now be automated.
The AutoPoint DT allows for economical, automated testing of all types of circuit cards, including complex, densely packed surface mount and throughhole boards. The precision robotic movement lets you probe points on the newest exotic chips, such as PLCC, SOIC, PGA, SSOP, TSOP, QFP and others, without the need for expensive fixturing or programming.
Engineers
The AutoPoint DT is a stand-alone fault finding system that can be integrated with PinPoint or Faultfinder. Using a single probe for access to difficult board topography, the system is fast to program and quick to analyse a network. It can be applied to any circuit, removing the physical restraints of test fixtures and enabling error-free probing of analog components such as resistors and diodes for complete and accurate diagnosis of fault causes.
This fault finding system uses Analog Signature Analysis (VI) technique to learn and store the network characteristics of a good board. It has multiple signatures for a single device allowing for variations due to different manufacturer, and a single probe head for ease of programming with colour camera for location and visual inspection.
Key features of AutoPoint DT include a power-off technique that requires no knowledge of the circuit, automatic and rapid identification of faulty networks, with the ability to import the “Pick & Place” data of a circuit for speed of programming.
It is the ideal companion system for PinPoint and FaultFinder, which removes the need for tedious manual probing of frequently seen circuits with high content of analog components. In addition, test program and results are compatible with PinPoint and FaultFinder. Full training and support is provided to ensure a fast learning curve, with interactive documentation and help facilities included in the software.
Technical Directors
The AutoPoint DT is a compact, fully automatic electronic circuit diagnostic and probing system. Its ease of use, rapid learning curve and intuitive graphic interface means that skilled staff can concentrate on more demanding tasks.
This system provides a fast and accurate diagnostic method, is quick to program and can import “pick & place” data to automatically produce a board layout. It uses an Analog Signature to characterise each network on a good circuit and stores this in a test program.
Incorporating a safe power-off test technique, AutoPoint DT requires no knowledge of the circuit and can be used stand-alone or to complement the PinPoint diagnostic capability.
Full training and support is provided to ensure the system is always available.
Finance Directors
The AutoPoint DT provides a fast return on investment through rapid fault identification and time-saving in the repair environment. Faults in a circuit are identified correctly meaning less re-work and ensure safe working product in the fieldTypical support package provides full hardware support, software support and applications support for x% of the system purchase price.
The system has low implementation and through life costs and does not require test fixtures, saving on cost and time as it is ready to start testing any board immediately. Its ease of use and short learning curve frees skilled staff to concentrate on more value added activities.
AutoPoint DT is flexible and adaptable to all circuit types ensuring future proofing and protection of investment. It can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated with PinPoint or FaultFinder to automate lengthy manual probing routines – saving time and reducing the risk of operator errors.
Purchase plans are available to spread the investment payments and allow you to implement the system immediately into your repair environment.
Managing Directors
