Inline interchangeable kits

Inline interchangeable kits (WS) are used for testing with in-line test cells in fully automated production lines with the need to automatically generate the parallel contact stroke, to test a large number of test points, and when there is a need for fully automated testing.

Inline interchangeable kits are not fully functional test fixtures in themselves. They do not have their own lifting mechanism, so they cannot generate a contact force by themselves. The interchangeable kit receives the contact force from the inline test system.

The fixture is used in third-party inline test systems. These test systems are integrated into fully automated production lines for mass production of printed circuit boards.
