4200 Series
Hersteller: Aeroflex, IFR, Marconi
SERVICE: Factory Calibration, Repair

The 4200 series is the flagship of the Aeroflex range of automatic test equipment. Designed to be the fastest manufacturing test system on the market, it is ideally suited to high volume manufacturing operations where throughput is of paramount importance. With an established customer base, the system tests a wide variety of printed circuit boards covering applications such as telecoms, automotive and consumer electronics, amongst others.

By achieving the highest level of fault coverage, and testing product in the shortest possible time, the 4200 series reduces capital investment by providing a single test station within the beat rate of the production line. Quite simply, a single 4200 series tester can perform a task which would require several competitive systems.

– Maximum of 2048 pins
– Automatic program generation software
– Graphical program debug capability
– Autodebug facility
– Inductive and capacitive vectorless test
– Capacitor polarity
– ISP and FLASH programming

Architecture
The 4200 series is controlled by an industry standard PC running the Windows operating system. The graphical user interface has been designed to provide a familiar environment allowing new users to quickly progress along the learning curve.

Within the range, there are three systems, the 4215, 4220 and 4250.

The differences lay in the testpoint count and power supply capacity:
4215 – Maximum of 1152 universal testpoints & three user power supplies
4220 – Maximum of 2048 universal testpoints & up to six user power supplies
4250 – Small footprint and updated version of the 4220

All systems use a cardcage architecture and can be fitted with a range of cards selected from the following list to provide the most appropriate configuration:

  • FA13 Analog In-Circuit card (44830/169)
  • FA03 Universal In-Circuit card (44830/380)
