The CI1000™
ROBOTIC CONTROLLED IMPEDANCE TESTER image
 

 

Capabilities & Benefitsimage

Are you looking for a solution for high volume, production controlled impedance testing? Used throughout the United States and Asia, the CI1000™ Robotic Controlled Impedance Tester is the ultimate solution for controlled impedance testing! It's perfect for boards, coupons, prototypes, and 100% testing of batch jobs.

The CI1000™ automates the testing of high frequency Printed Wiring Boards (PWB). The system provides numerical data on circuit trace impedance, propagation delay, dielectric constant and interconnect loss. The information gathered can be automatically evaluated against pass/fail criteria or used to grade the quality of PWBs.

The CI1000's™ computer guidance software, test results storage, test failure alerts and results reporting. either locally or over a network, make the CI1000™ easy to learn & operate, very efficient and highly cost effective. The CI1000™ meets all industry standards.

The Introbotics CI1000™ is 6 to 15 times faster than a hand probe tester, and achieves payback within 9-12 months. The CI1000™ can be placed on the production line or in a testing room.

CI1000™ Capabilitiesimage

Run-Test capability is used for quick and simple test runs. Tester delivers numerical impedance results.
Config and run capability enables a standard or custom test specification with guided steps or imported CAD/CAM file. Propagation Delay, Insertion Loss and TDR WaveForm data collection can be selected. Test coupons (pre-routed or in- panel), panels, or individual boards can all be accommodated.
Differential Measurements are provided by the simultaneous generation of coupled TDR pulses. This simple, very effective technique provides true differential measurement. The probe calibration procedure eliminates probe-induced errors.
Measurement Automation accuracy is ensured by taking up to eight (8) measurements per test point. Automatic fault detection eliminates false data production. Measurement automation ensures a very repeatable measurement. Process method is compliant with IPC TM-650 test standard.
Intranet Network Support provides access to the test database, all reports and results and the WaveForm Viewer™. CAD/CAM data can be downloaded to the CI1000™ to set up the computer guidance screen and set all test parameters. Report Writer and WaveForm Viewer™ screens can be viewed and sent through your network.
Handles boards as small as 5.25" x 0.5" and panels up to 36" x 28.5". 
Single-ended and differential controlled impedance testing.
Accurately measures impedance, propagation delay, dielectric constant, & interconnect loss.
Test coupons, boards, and panels.
The flexible board holder eliminates the need for custom fixtures.
Short changeover time from one type of board to another (<60 secs).
Measurement repeatability of 0.05 ohms and 4 psec (single standard deviation).
Accurately measures traces as short as 0.50".
Imports IBC's .CSV test format file to define test point location and test specifications.
The CI1000™ Robotic system provides rotation of probe assembly to probe all test pad orientations.
Captures TDR WaveForms for convenient offline viewing.
The CI1000™ Camera system makes teaching a new panel easy.
The CI1000™ includes built-in support for the Tektronix DSA8200 and older TDS8XXX series of TDR instrumentation.
An automatic measurement verification system with a 50 ohm and/or a 28 ohm airline.
Comfortable ergonomic operator interface.
The CI1000™ System has an available Ethernet port for SPC plant hook-up.
Speedy 1-4 seconds per test point Test Speed.
A flexible reporting package allows output to printer and many other formats (MSWord, Excel, html, etc.).
Automatic CAD/CAM data importation or guided teach process.
The CI1000™ System is designed with a SMEMA interface for conveyer hook-up.
An extremely robust probe.
