Test solutions for diverse applications

A deep insight into the electrical product

The workflow in the GLP2-MODULAR world

Based on the SCHLEICH MODULAR CONCEPT, the GLP2-MODULAR test systems provide a variety of combination options for various safety and functional test methods. Your custom test task determines the test methods that you select from a large pool of test options.

Whether one test method or a multitude – you determine the configuration! For example, your GLP2-MODULAR can be configured as a specialized high voltage test device with many test outputs. For more complex test tasks, you may require a combination of all possible test methods.

The SCHLEICH MODULAR CONCEPT of GLP2-MODULAR test systems makes it possible to assemble precisely the test device that you need. And this is not just by installing various individual test devices into an oversized test rack, but by integrating all tests into a compact modular housing. The housing size results from the type and scope of the various tests.

The flexibility of GLP2-MODULAR test systems is evident not only in the housing, but also in the number and arrangement of the device's Connections. With the 19" container and especially with the 19" industrial cabinet, the measurement connections can be attached to all sides of the test device. This allows us to meet all spatial requirements.

Every test device incorporates experience from many thousands of installations. This experience is consistently implemented at SCHLEICH, with passion and without compromise.

This is “customer based technology”.

The test devices provide a variety of test options in just one housing, despite their very compact design. The combination of test methods according to the SCHLEICH MODULAR CONCEPT therefore also includes a modular housing concept.

Depending on the requirement, your application can be housed in a compact desktop device, a 19” rack-mount device, a 19” container, or a 19” industrial cabinet. For the professional and secure installation of the test technology, we use precisely fitting housing components from renowned German manufacturers as well as components from our own production.

The standard GLP2-MODULAR uses the lean Windows^® Embedded. You always have all relevant test results in view. The clear display of the test sequence enables structured and highly efficient work.

In automatic mode, the Tests are performed semi-/fully automatically. Between all measurement connections connected to the device under test, the Tests run step by step fully automatically. 

If the operator, for example, has to manually probe individual measurement points on the device under test  with a test probe, an interruption occurs with a message. This lasts until the manual task is completed. Afterwards, the Test resumes fully automatically. The test results are automatically evaluated and clearly displayed.

The test sequence is edited by simply adding or removing test steps. This allows the test sequence to be optimally adapted to different requirements. Each individual test step is custom configurable via test parameters.

The comprehensive built-in user management ensures that only authorized persons can make these changes.

The GLP2-MODULAR provides all built-in test methods individually – as if you had a separate test device for each test method. 

No test plan is required for the unique manual mode. The operator simply selects the desired test method and starts the test device.

The most important measured values are displayed in large digits. Further settings are also clearly visualized. This function is unique. It is ideal for tests in the laboratory or at the repair station.

The Manual Mode

Select the desired test method and start the measurement. To end the measurement, stop it again.

No comparison with limit values takes place. Instead, the measured values and the set test conditions are continuously displayed.

During the ongoing measurement, the test parameters can be adjusted via the touch display. This is a significant advantage. Your device under test is continuously exposed to the test conditions. You can put it through its paces and stress it for as long as you wish.

Not only the test conditions such as test voltage and Test current are modifiable. The displayed Actual values and their physical units can also be switched over according to the desired evaluation.

For test devices with multiple test connections, the test methods can be switched to the available test connections, similar to an automatic test sequence. Manual measurement can thus be performed between any test connections. The selection of test connections is conveniently done via the touch display. The switch-over is performed via the built-in relay matrix.

The expansion of the GLP2 with the Technology Package fully utilizes the extensive capabilities of Windows^®. Display is on an external touch monitor, with the screen layout dynamically adapting to the monitor's resolution. The user interface is even more intuitive and clearer than the standard version. A full-fledged PC is used to enhance performance.

The proven measurement hardware and precise measurement technology are identical to the standard device. The Technology Package represents an upgrade in terms of operation.

Based on the Windows^® PC, the large touch display, and the resulting technical possibilities, the user interface is even more informative and user-friendly than before. Our engineers have consistently utilized all modern features of the Windows^® operating system. The result is a clear, uncluttered display that is truly impressive.

In addition to the standard software functions, a test plan revision including extensive test plan history management has been integrated. New or modified test plans can be approved according to the four-eyes principle. Test plans are approved by a reviewer, not by the test plan creator.

Test plans and test results can be stored locally or alternatively on a central network drive. This ensures high safety for your data and optimal data exchange of test plans between different test systems.

The GLP2-MODULAR is network-capable even in its basic configuration. This feature provides the ideal platform for collecting, managing, analyzing, and distributing information.

Furthermore, the GLP2-MODULAR with the supplementary Technology Package provides the option for integration into a complex corporate domain.

Test plans and test results are stored in a secure and reliable file system on a shared network drive.

GLP2-MODULAR test systems with the Technology Package can also be networked with ERP, PPS, MES, and CAQ systems. For this requirement, we provide extensively proven, configurable solutions.

The test devices can be operated in arbitrarily complex network topologies. You can install an unlimited number of test devices at various company locations worldwide and connect them to the central network drive. Our experience in the global networking of test devices thereby gives you the safety to receive the same product quality regardless of the production location. Problems with revising test plans are thus a thing of the past.

Naturally, all test plan, printing, labeling, and statistical tasks can also be run on the individual test devices. However, to avoid disrupting the production process, it is advisable in networked systems to use separate workstations for these tasks.

The PC software editor&printer can therefore be installed on various workstations.

Label templates can also be stored centrally on a network drive. The test device then loads the appropriate template according to the test plan and prints the labels after the test. Central storage on the network drive ensures that all connected test devices always use the same label template.

In the event of necessary remote maintenance, we can temporarily dial into your network and directly access the individual test device. We can directly view the screen content of the test device. With your permission, we would also have access to the mouse and keyboard. These options are ideal for qualified support. Remote maintenance is, of course, only possible with your access authorization.

The GLP2-MODULAR can be ideally integrated into an automated production environment. Automation, in particular, is a special strength of SCHLEICH due to its corporate structure. 

Beyond software and electronics, automation also encompasses mechanics and mechatronics, as well as systems engineering. These services are provided by SCHLEICH's mechanical design department, our CNC machining centers, and mechanical assembly.

Fully automatic, robot-controlled luminaire test station

Price-sensitive products are increasingly manufactured in automated production cells. The illustration shows a production cell with a central robot and 4 processing/test stations.

Production is carried out by the robot, which performs various handling and screwing tasks. In between, intermediate tests are performed at the various workstations by a central test device.

After the complete assembly of the luminaire, the final test is performed. All safety, function, and quality tests are performed fully automatically by the GLP2-MODULAR. For the quality test of the often very bright LED modules, cameras with different lenses and aperture settings are used. This is the only way to detect differences in brightness and color between various LEDs.

Test system for electronic assemblies

The test device is used for the electrical safety test of electronic assemblies. For this purpose, the assemblies are inserted into a test adapter. The test adapter is equipped with a hold-down device and a mounting plate with built-in spring contacts. The spring contacts are used for electrical contacting of the device under test and for connection to the test device. By closing the test cover, the device under test is pressed against the spring contacts.

The test methods built-in the test device are automatically switched to the spring contacts in the test adapter via a relay switching matrix. The matrix is so flexible that testing can be performed between any spring contacts or groups of spring contacts. This is freely programmable from test step to test step.

• Test adapter with spring contacts
• Test cover with contact protection
• Insulation and high voltage test
• Contacting in two- or four-wire technology
• High-current contacts for the protective conductor test

Test system for tubular Motors

The automatic test system performs the complete function and safety test of tubular Motors. These Motors are used in roller shutters and blinds. A low shaft speed is required for the application. This is achieved by a built-in gearbox.

Both electrical and mechanical parameters must be tested. The most important electrical parameters are electrical safety, as well as voltage, current, and power during the function test of the Motor. The most important mechanical parameters are torque and speed. To test these, a load machine controlled by the test device is built-in into the test stand.

Since a tubular Motor is operated in both senses of rotation, both senses of rotation are also tested by the test system. The mechanical adaptation of the shaft is fully automatic.

• Torque measurement
• Slip clutch test
• Current consumption measurement
• Variable voltage supply
• Label printer for nameplate with serial number etc.
• Light curtain

Test system for rail vehicles

Mobile test device for function test and high voltage test of heaters in passenger and dining cars.

The test device simulates the traction unit. Instead of the traction unit, the mobile test device is connected to the wagon under test. The test device feeds the test voltages into the train busbar.

• High voltage test up to 6 kV AC, 200 mA
• Function test AC up to 1500 V, 50 kVA continuous power

Test system for electric and gas stoves

Testing of electric or gas stoves takes place in a test space secured by a light curtain. Due to the size of the working space, a large additional monitor is connected to the GLP2 for optimal visualization.

In addition to performing safety and function tests, the GLP2-MODULAR also controls a leak test device. For safety reasons, leak tests on gas stoves are mandatory to ensure that gas lines, control switches, and valves have no leaks.

The test results of the leak test are stored quantitatively and qualitatively along with the electrical test results. Thus, for later statistical evaluations, test reports, or even for complaint processing, all setpoint and Actual values of a tested stove are available.

High-voltage test system for rail vehicles

Testing of rail vehicles can be literally exciting. Exciting, because you are dealing with TEST VOLTAGEs of up to 80 kV! And, of course, with high Test currents. For insulation tests on rail vehicles, large voltage sources with high power are therefore required.

However, the design of the high voltage test device is rather unusual compared to normal laboratory routine, because who would want to stand directly next to an 80 kV system? For this obvious reason – and often also for space reasons – a split device is suitable as a design for such applications.

• High-voltage transformer with 80,000 V AC_rms
• Insulation of the transformer with insulating oil
• Voltage measurement via built-in high-voltage divider
• Test current up to 200 mA
