U3040AK Datasheet, PDF (2/8 Pages) Keysight Technologies – Agilent Yellowstone 3.0 Automated Test Process Center

Benefits & Features
of Yellowstone
Yellowstone provides automated
integration of your test stations
by connecting them with robotic
vehicles that automatically
interconnect the UUT to power &
signals; running automated test
suites, and coordinating results
and flow via shop floor control
software. This results in:
• Improvement in test process
utilization
• Savings in manufacturing test
costs
• Cycle time reduction
• Test equipment utilization
• Reduction in floor space
• Significant labor reduction

Key Features of
Yellowstone
Yellowstone 3.0
Product Family
• Automatically transports UUTs to
test stations per test plan
• Once at a test station,
automatically interconnects
UUTs to electrical power, and
interconnects UUTs signals
(including RF) and executes tests
• Simultaneously tests thermal (0
to 60 degrees C) and vibration
profiles (up to 8 G’s)
• Controls process via shop floor
control software
• Automatically manages mix-
modeled process involving multiple
product families
• Runs continuously (24 /7) with a
high reliability of uptime > 97%
• Integrates into existing production
facilities, IT, test software
Tray with
vehicle
Yellowstone, an automated test
process center, is a collection of
products that can be integrated
together to match the test needs
of your high-mix product line. For
a new installation, at least one
of each of these products must
be purchased to enable the test
process center to work correctly
(except for the Thermal Pre-soak
Station). Additional products may
be included in your initial purchase
or added with future modifications.
Call or email an Agilent expert
(see details at the end) to help you
determine how to integrate the
Yellowstone products to optimize
your test process.
Thermal pre-soak test station
(U3040AK01). The thermal pre-
soak station increases utilization
of the thermal and vibration test
station by stabilizing your UUT to
a thermal environment while not
at a test position. This pre-soak
occurs off-line of the production
process. Then the UUT transfers
to the thermal and vibration test
station and stabilizes to a thermal
environment with minimal thermal
soak time. This increases the
thermal and vibration test station
utilization.
• Typical thermal re-stabilization to
+/- 3 degrees within 12 minutes
• Interconnections are automatically
made when the tray docks in the
test station.
