Used ORBOTECH Discovery 8 #9185857 for sale

ORBOTECH Discovery 8 is a PC Board Test equipment designed for the testing and inspection of printed circuit boards, primarily in the electronics manufacturing sector. Discovery 8 is a modular system comprised of a Compac Control Unit (CCU), computer, and configured test head modules. The CCU is the backbone of the unit, controlling the test program, managing communication between modules, and presenting the status of the test head modules. The computer offers a user interface to the CCU, running test programs and displaying results. Finally, the test head modules contain on-board controllers, analog/digital I/O channels, and a potentiometer for angling the heads to make contact with test points on a board. ORBOTECH Discovery 8 utilizes several types of test head modules, each designed for a different physical and electrical application. The Analog Test Head was designed to measure resistance, capacitance, inductance, or power, among other parameters; the Multiplex Universal Test Head can be used with AC, DC, or general-purpose electronic components; the Digital Test Head can be used for data communication and application-specific measurements; and the Hot Swap Test Head is designed for insert and removal testing of hot-swappable boards. A range of software tools is available to ensure optimal use of Discovery 8. ProgramEdit, the development tool for test programs, allows users to turn schematic/netlist data into a series of test steps or actions. TestAnalyze can provide detailed measurement analysis, efficiently diagnosing any inaccurate or failing components. Maintenance software is also available, allowing users to configure, monitor, and diagnose issues that may arise during the deployment of the machine. ORBOTECH Discovery 8 tool is designed to work in conjunction with an automated environment, allowing it to work in a secure and reliable manner in a variety of conditions. Its automatic fail-hard software ensures any minor mechanical issue that could arise during test execution will be corrected immediately. In sum, Discovery 8 is a comprehensive PC board test asset, designed for use in the electronics manufacturing sector. It offers users a range of custom test head modules, in addition to powerful software tools, making it an ideal solution for both simple and complex testing requirements.
