Component test stands: Efficient quality assurance and performance optimization in industrial measurement technology
Component test stands play a crucial role in industrial measurement technology. The testing of individual components is of great importance today, partly due to product liability laws. The reliability and durability of components is expected and prevents costly complaints and expensive product recalls. By using component test benches, manufacturers can ensure that their products meet the required quality standards and function flawlessly. They also enable the precise measurement and analysis of various parameters such as pressure, temperature or electrical signals. This allows weak points to be identified and optimized at an early stage, which ultimately leads to higher product quality and customer satisfaction. All in all, component test stands are indispensable tools for industrial measurement technology to ensure reliable and precise testing of components.
Both during development and production, a large number of components from a wide range of industries are produced with the help of the Expert Key and the ProfiMessage devices hardware and the ProfiSignal software. Customers benefit from the high flexibility and reliability of Delphin products. For special testing tasks, Delphin also offers cost-effective complete solutions tailored to the respective task.
Application highlights of the component test stands
- Universal inputs for mA, mV, Pt100/Pt1000 and thermocouple sensors
- Simple creation of a test application by "configuring instead of programming"
- Data acquisition, automation and evaluation with a standardized system
- Network-based solutions, optionally with SQL and ODBC connection
- MS Office compatible, data can be exported to Excel or Word
Practical example of a component test stand
Independent testing of components for heating systems
A well-known manufacturer of fittings, valves and other components for heating systems uses the autonomous Message devices and ProfiSignal software in a wide range of test applications. Typical measured values are temperatures, flow rates and pressures, which are displayed by the devices directly in the scaled and physical unit. Test procedures and test sequences are carried out autonomously by the ProfiMessage devices and the collected data is then automatically stored on the server. Existing terminal servers allow direct access to the data displayed and evaluated with ProfiSignal from any location and regardless of the end device.
Typical areas of application
of the component test stands
- Contact resistance measurement on switches, relays, contactors
- Bounce tests on relays
- Closing time measurement of valves on steam turbines
- EMC tests on flow and volumetric flow meters
- Testing of luminaire components such as starter, socket, lamp
- Quality assurance of temperature controllers for hobs
- Testing of refrigeration compressors for refrigerated cabinets
- Standard-compliant testing of tank systems and components
