Why Automate?

Automating test increases consistensy of manufacture and testing.

Peak Group specialises in the automation of functional test. Using automation reduces test time and increases consistency of testing while allowing qualified people to do more skilled work. We use various methods to automate movement within systems, these include pneumatics and electrically power devices. Using sensors to detect limits of travel and position of products before proceeding with further tests.

Automating.

At the centre of the automated system is a computing device this could be a PC, specialised PXI rack or even an embedded controller. Using output modules to set actuators and input modules for detection the system can be made to run. With the use of a multiplexer and relay module, signals can be routed to test equipment reducing the number measurement devices needed within the system.

For the control system to function software is needed to control and monitor devices connected. Further enhancements could include network communications to databases, websites and other control systems. Software is programmed in our facilities here in Letchworth Garden City using the following platforms:-

• National Instruments - Labview
• National Instruments - Teststand
• Microsoft - VB.net
