Multi-axis Ceramic Resistor Test Machine
Date: 6/12/2009


Production Automation
Location: China

Project Introduction:
In the global electronics manufacturing market, multi-axis ceramic resistor test machines are widely used for quality testing and screening of micro-electronic components. Supported by various programs, these systems can realize diverse signals and integrate a wide range of functions and devices with real-time control such as motion, HMI and advanced testing instruments. The system highlighted in this application was created by Advantech to support dynamic displays and self-diagnostic functions. This combination of features has helped improve the system, increasing production efficiency and quality. 

System Requirements:
Ceramic resistor test machines are required to support multi-axis synchronized motion control and a large amount of digital control. This client also wanted to integrate GPIB instruments, high-end test instruments and an HMI device. The goal was to create an advanced testing control platform with diverse signal reading, a variety of integrated functions and real-time control. The system also required efficient and real-time development software.

Project Implementation:

IPPC-4000D 5.7" VGA TFT LCD 4U 19" Rack Industrial Panel PC with 7 Expansion Slots
PCI-1240U 4-axis Stepping and Servo Motor Control Universal PCI Card
PCI-1756 64-ch Isolated Digital I/O PCI Card
PCI-1671UP IEEE-488.2 Interface Low Profile Universal PCI Card
FPM-3120G 12.1" SVGA Industrial Monitor with Resistive Touchscreen and Direct-VGA Port

System Description:
Integrated with multi-axis motion control, digital status monitoring, GPIB communication instruments and a touchscreen, the system achieves real-time control and multi-axis motion and digital instrument control. Advantech's IPPC-4000D allows users to easily edit, modify and save data.

The system allows electronic components to be easily tested quickly and thoroughly to satisfy production needs. The system integrates visual inspection capabilities through the USB connector on the PC, which, combined with its high speed computing capabilities, also makes quality diagnostic tests. Equipped with Advantech's powerful controller, diversified control cards and rich communication interfaces, the system controls various equipments, such as buttons, signals, instruments, drive motors, and more.

Conclusion:
Through Advantech's advanced PC with integrated control and communication modules, the systemnot only realizes real-time communication between the system and external measuring instruments, but also increases system response times and production precision.
