Down The Line, Spring, 95p1 anufacturers that use automated assembly systems face a number of challenges in making sure their products will perform reliably for their customers.
Thorough testing is a given.
Engineers at Alliance have incorporated hundreds of dependable, seamless testing devices into their automated assembly systems. In fact many of Alliance's more than 800 installed systems around the world were built for the automotive and other high-technology industries where most of today's reliable testing methods were developed and refined. It makes no sense to put together an entire assembly just to have it fail because it includes a bad part that could have been isolated. Electrical Testing Alliance has built many automated assembly systems for the manufacture of electric motors or assemblies that include them, such as refrigeration compressors and automotive power window and windshield wiper motors. Each of these automated assembly systems included testing stations that performed upwards of six different resistance, continuity and high potential checks to ensure the armatures, field windings, capacitors and brushes were within specifications before being assembled into a finished part.
