In-Circuit Test using JOT Automation

The Automation Journey Begins…
Journey of automation began with HP Express Fixturing System (EFS) board handlers
Very well thought out fixture and handler design (Compact, Elegant, “handler” commands, Easy to use…).
“Hover Craft” handler removal for card change
EFS conveys using a single drive belt
And then came a product requiring a Pallet (Wide, Heavy)
In came JOT…

JOT and the 3070 Automated Production Line

JOT
Dual belt drive to convey board/array/pallet
Tester is “Strapped” to the JOT Handler
PLC Controlled system
Communicates Serially to the 3070
Rob Koza (Formally HP) integrated the 3070 and the JOT (in UNIX)
John Lutkus helped convert the first testplan, seamlessly, to PC.
Programmable press heights - Dual Stage testing (Raise so resonator starts)
Fixture Identification (Autofile) used for a one time set-up of programmable Press heights.

How a board is tested using the JOT
The press has pushed the board onto the bed-of-nails.

JOT and 3070 Points to Ponder…
Press Height controlled to a fraction of a mm.
Throughput impact of using automation (In-line V.S. Cell)
One operator runs all lines
No operator handling of products
Change a card time is 30 minutes
High test repeatability (parallel board contact with probes)
Low Fixture maintenance (No gaskets, hinges, …)
Has reduced rework due to timely process defect detection
Minimal buffer between Surface Mount has saved Scrap on more than one occasion.
