Used TERADYNE Spectrum 8852e #9083903 for sale

TERADYNE Spectrum 8852e is a PC board test equipment designed to test Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly components. It is a reliable, automated tester used to accurately evaluate and monitor the electrical characteristics of a circuit board's components. This particular model 8852e, utilizes a modular design, allowing it to be tailored to various testing applications; thus ensuring maximum efficiency and flexibility. The system is capable of testing up to 256 individual board parameters on any given board; whereas board tests that had previously taken several days to complete can now be performed in just an hour or two. An additional feature of the unit is its ability to accurately measure Wideband-Digital HSPICE simulations, meaning that these can be compared to actual on-board performance during validation tests. This allows for quick and efficient monitoring of design changes. The primary board test components within the machine are surface mount testers, open-ended testers, dielectric insulation testers, break apart detectors, functional testers, and visual inspection plate holders. The surface mount testers measure parameters such as capacitance, resistance, and dynamic response, while open-ended testers measure the polarity and reversed polarity of components. Break apart detectors are also used to locate shorts or other anomalies in printed circuits, while the functional testers accurately monitor printed circuit board assembly functional behaviour. The dielectric insulation testers analyse insulation resistance, while the visual inspection plate holders give a physical evaluation of the overall board design. For further analysis and creating reports, this TERADYNE tool has computer aided design (CAD) software that enables technicians to draw on circuit board and component details, in order to create simulated models. Spectrum 8852e has about 98 certified contactors which helps enhance the safety aspect of the board assembly. It is a very reliable and robust asset which is user-friendly and is ideal for evaluating designs, troubleshooting issues, and testing for quality assurance in the production process. Furthermore, it is entirely software controlled and is capable of running tests concurrently. The main advantages of this model over manual inspection techniques are its speed, accuracy, and reliable repeatability. All these factors contribute to reducing time to market and cost savings.
