Example of automatic inspection development 1
Power conditioner automatic inspection device

This is an inspection device for automatically testing the power conditioner function of a PV generator. This has made it unnecessary to operate numerous power supply and measuring equipment.

Effect of automation

6-hour inspection time reduced to 4 hours

Shortened time
Simple operation
Improved quality
Developer comments

One millionth of one second of time was required in a test to measure the time until a signal is output from the product under inspection after voltage is applied. In the past, measuring was performed by an experienced operator using a Memory HiCorder, but automation has allowed anyone to perform measurement easily.
