Equipment was developed to fill different sizes of compressors with oil and perform a QC verification. Compressors were brought in VIA overhead conveyors and placed on built in electronic scales. The test system weighed the compressor empty. It then controlled filling of the compressor with oil to an accuracy of +/- 0.1 ounce using two inline flowmeters. The compressor was again weighed, and the amount of oil was computed based on weight. If the two flowmeters and the computed amount agreed, the unit was accepted.
Equipment was developed to automatically test a customer's irrigation controllers. The equipment accepted commands from an operator interface (PC). It then, based on model number, tested the operational features of the unit and up to thirty valve driver outputs. Test results were saved to a data base, and a complete report was printed to accompany the unit.
Equipment was developed to test the performance of compressors i.e. pressure, power, and vibration. A UL required high voltage leakage test was also performed.
Several circuit board testers have been developed to automate production line testing.
A rack mounted drawer system was designed and built for the purpose of testing voice over the internet (VOIP). More than one hundred units were produced and included in the test. The units provided computer control of all phone functions in order to eliminate human error, and to accelerate the testing process. See Photo
