Accelerated ageing and end-of-line testing call for long, sometimes continuous tests. The power supply has to hold the setpoint for hours, or even weeks, without drifting.
Our rectifiers are built for permanent industrial duty, to the same standards as on a production line.
An endurance test means running a product well beyond its everyday use in order to anticipate its vieillissement. Thousands of cycles are run back to back, a severe regime is held for long periods, thermal and electrical stresses are combined.
In end-of-line quality control the logic is reversed: the test is very short, but repeated on every part produced. The constraint then becomes repeatability, to the second, at high throughput.
In both cases the power supply works continuously. Its reliability and its efficiency directly determine the availability of the bench — and therefore the ability to keep to a validation plan or a production rate.
The electrical profile and its duration are set according to the validation plan.
The bench starts; the power supply holds the setpoint continuously.
Any drift is tracked and recorded.
The results are compared with the acceptance criteria.
On a long test, a power supply failure does not just cost a repair: it invalidates the campaign under way and loses weeks of work.
Micronics rectifiers are sized for continuous industrial duty, with high efficiency that limits temperature rise and cooling requirements. The maintenance contract, on-site service and spare parts availability complete the picture to keep the bench running over the long term.
