Pneumatic Test Probes are operated with compressed air. Before activation,
the plunger is in the home position. On applying the compressed air, the
plunger shoots out. The spring inside the barrel retrieves the plunger after
releasing the compressed air.
Application Examples
– Individual contacting of single test points
– Can be controlled individually or in groups
– Contacting of test points, which are difficult to access
– Flexible application as a type of push-rod in Test Fixtures
– Movement of components in explosive areas
(instead of Electro-Motors)
Advantages
– Fixtureless contacting possible
– Later enhancement of test points (layout change) possible
– Individual set-up of the test procedures possible
– Quick set-up of flexible test requirements
– In the case of a small number of test points, cheap
alternative to a Test Fixture
– High level of contacting accuracy due to short installation
