High-Resolution Imaging for Detailed Test Monitoring

The vision system primarily relies on the live camera feed from the built-in camera on the finger module as its primary input. QUACO Teach Studio and other software suites use these vision inputs for calibration and marking vision references such as screen positions, icons, buttons, indication lights, OCR fields, etc.

It uses an industrial camera with a specification of 13 Megapixels, capable of recording videos at 30 frames per second and offering 4 K resolution. The local camera provides users with a closer view of the screen activities, facilitating easy and better test script generation and execution.

Capture the Big Picture: Comprehensive Test Bench Overview

The global camera module provides a comprehensive view of the test setup, capturing the entire active field of view from above. It allows users to quickly navigate from one corner of the test bench to another, especially during remote operations, saving valuable time.

Users can select various combinations of cameras and lenses. SGBI’s technical team can assist in choosing the correct combination based on the customer’s test requirements. The module is mounted on a manual positioning x-y rail with a manual lock, offering flexibility.

Accessory Expansion Port

The accessory expansion port enhances test coverage by adding extra test support hardware. These support hardware include multiple mechatronics systems, cameras, screen grabbers, etc., incorporated into the testing platform.

We provide a range of compatible accessories across various industries, including point of sale (POS), smartphone testing, automotive testing, and consumer electronics testing.

  • Versatile Connectivity – The Accessory Expansion Port offers plug-and-play compatibility for all SGBI accessories. Users can effortlessly access and configure these accessories directly from the QUACO studio.
  • API Controllability – All the accessories connected to these ports can be controlled using the QUACO Studio software or through a specific API integrated with the host system.
  • Custom Accessory compatibility – SGBI supports designing custom accessories for your testing needs. Like standard accessories, users can incorporate these into their test bench by plug-and-play.

Programmable GPIO Ports

In addition to the accessory expansion port, we also provide programmable General-Purpose Input-Output (GPIO) ports with the rig. This includes a 4-port GPIO with two inputs and two outputs(OUT1 is dedicated for E-Stop trigger), compatible with 3V to 12V, located near the auxiliary E-stop port.

These GPIO ports are highly versatile and can be configured to suit various test requirements. The function of GPIO pins can be set up via software by tagging different events with these GPIOs. So whenever these configured events occur, the configured GPIO will change the state accordingly.

All these GPIOs can be tagged to a set of events associated with the robotic platform, enabling them to communicate with the DUT itself or any test-associated hardware to trigger a specific functionality during the test execution. This will be useful in situations like handling exceptions in the testing routine, such as hard resetting the DUT or restarting the DUT etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we test DUTs with different heights?

The QUACO Pro D robot is designed with adjustable height functionality to accommodate DUTs of varying heights. There are two methods to adjust the robot’s height:
Via the Front HMI Display Unit:

  • Navigate to Menu > Height Adjustment on the display unit.
  • Use the right-side navigation buttons to set the desired height (displayed in millimeters).
  • The maximum height adjustment is 275 mm from the test bench level.

Using the Quaco Studio Software:

  • During HAPI creation or test execution, the height can be configured through the API triggers.

How can I mount DUTs (Devices Under Test) to the robot?

To mount a DUT on the rig, you can use various types of fixtures depending on the DUT’s form factor. QUACO includes a standard package of generic fixtures compatible with most DUTs across different industries.

What are generic fixtures, and how do they work?

Generic fixtures are versatile mounting components provided with QUACO. They function like a Lego-style setup, allowing quick and straightforward DUT assembly.

What if my DUT has a very complex form factor?

For devices with complex form factors, SGBI offers custom fixtures designed to fit your specific needs. For more details, please contact support@sgbi.us.
