Potentiometer Tester

  Machine Category: FULLY AUTOMATIC

 

Solatron has built several Potentiometer testers over the years. One of the most recent Potentiometer testers we have built is shown below. This machine has three stations which surround a servo-driven turntable. The parts are loaded on manually and then indexed over to the test station. Here the part is tested for Start position, Low End Voltage, Resistance, Linearity, High End Voltage, and Hysteresis. The parts are then rotated over to a print station which prints date codes and logos or the appropriate reject data. The part is then either placed into a good bin or a reject bin. This particular machine tests potentiometers that are used for automotive seats.
