We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Automated Test",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Easy-to-Use 6GHz meter is USB-controlled from
National Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Combining measurement accuracy with small size, an easy-to-use 6GHz meter provides a highly flexible device for automated test, measurement and monitoring applications".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release 3D measurement panel displays data from
AICON 3D Systems: "3D measurement software is a powerful control panel for various measuring tasks and can be seamlessly integrated into any customer specific measuring system".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Sakor Technologies
concerning its Hybrid vehicle driveline test systems
- take a look at Test systems calibrate hybrid drivelines
which says: "Hybrid vehicle driveline test systems calibrate the performance, efficiency, and durability of electrical assist, diesel electric, and even fully-electric vehicle systems".
Take a look also at the news release from Data Translation, Test and measurement has graphical drag and drop,
as well as Check electric motor efficiencies from Sakor Technologies,
and System inspects tube bending 100% from AICON 3D Systems.
