Testing
Design Catapult Manufacturing tests simple to complex electro-mechanical devices with various sophisticated equipment based on the specifications for each project. Below is a list of common tests performed.
Dual Channel Oscilloscope Testing - is used to observe varying signal voltages on a two-dimensional plot.
Ground Continuity Tester Analyzer - ensures that power cables are properly grounding electrical outputs.
High Potential Voltage (HIPOT) Test - the Hipot test ensures there is no electrical current flow from one point to another which is the opposite of the continuity test.
Vacuum Testing - ensures there are no pressure leaks in hosing systems.
Digital Volt Meter Testing - to measure the electrical differences between two points in an electrical circuit.
Peel Test – used to determine the amount of strength required to peel laminate from board.
Solder Pot Test – determines the solderability of plated through hole (PTHs).
Solder Float Test – measures the degree of thermal stress that a PCB hole can withstand.
Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) Testing – highly reliable test used to ensure that your board does not contain significant surface debris remaining from manufacturing processes or excess conductive material.
Automated Optical Inspection AOI – performed to check solder quality and verify pad and trace connections.
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) – typically done to measure characteristic impedances. Can determine if differential traces are matched for good signal integrity.
X-ray Inspection – used to view the PCB’s internal construction; including layers and vias. Can also be used to view inside of component packages to verify device types and authenticity.
