For our production lines, we exclusively use proven automation components. Depending on the project, either the test PC or a PLC is used as the system control – naturally with custom developed control software. The workpiece holders for the pallets are also specialized in their construction and completely manufactured in-house by us.

The result: well-engineered, reliable, and high-performance systems that perfectly fit into your production processes – from start to finish, from a single source.

Data storage

Particularly complex system solutions require a corresponding concept for data storage. In an extensive production process with multiple test stations, different test devices can autonomously run tests from one production step to the next. Provided that the product or the workpiece carriers are uniquely identifiable by a serial number, the individual test results are stored at each station with this serial number in the central memory. Our memory software reads out the individual test results and documents them under the serial number of the final product. 

This is the basis for seamless traceability.

Fully automatic Test system – custom built-in into a production line

In the simplest integration scenario, we supply our customers with a complete, ready for Connection production cell that can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. SCHLEICH handles the complete mechanical and electrical setup – including custom contacting solutions precisely tailored to the customer's product.

The existing system control on site manages the functional sequence such that the product carrier with the device under test automatically enters the production cell and stops precisely in position. A built-in lifting unit raises the product carrier into the Test position, where the device under test is automatically contacted and then tested.

Whether lifting and contacting are performed by the customer's system control or directly by the SCHLEICH Test cell is flexible – we fully adapt to the desired line architecture and process logic.

This creates an efficient, robust, and perfectly integrable Test station that can be incorporated into almost any production environment with minimal effort.

The production cell typically features tunnels or automatic safety doors at the infeed and outfeed, reliably preventing operator intervention during the Test.
The video shows the production cell for a stator Test.

Fully automatic Test system for small stators

The entire production cell was completely designed and manufactured by SCHLEICH – including the full protective enclosure and conveyor systems. Thanks to its modular architecture and the high flexibility of the GLP2-MODULAR, the system not only performs precise Test but also handles the complete sequence control: from the conveyor system and positioning to the control of the X, Y, and Z axes of the Test cell. An additional PLC is not required for this.
 

The fully automatic sequence includes the following steps:

  • Infeeding the product carrier with 20 nests into the Test cell. Each nest contains a Motor to be tested.
  • Automatic removal of an untested Motor from its nest and precise positioning in the Test adapter using the 3-axis system.
  • Automatic contacting of the Motor – including built-in contacting monitoring.
  • Electrical and functional Test of the Motor.
  • Nameplate printing and automatic application of the label on the Motor.
  • Return transfer of a GO Motor to the corresponding nest of the product carrier.
  • Outfeeding a NOGO Motor onto a separate reject conveyor.
  • Repeat the test cycle until all Motors from all nests have been tested. 
  • Unload the completed workpiece carrier and load the next one.

Single-station test systems from a single source

Single-station test systems typically consist of a test device and other components such as test covers, workbenches, specialized contacting units, or connection boxes. At SCHLEICH, all these elements come from a single source: We develop, design, and manufacture all components ourselves – precisely tailored to your test process. And that is 100% Made in Germany.
 

The modules can be configured as complete, built-in units or delivered as separate system components. Even with separate units, the plug-in, tested cabling is, of course, included in the scope of delivery. This way, you receive a reliable, ready-to-use, and completely turnkey test system.

Whatever you wish to Test – SCHLEICH delivers the appropriate single-station test system: custom developed, completely manufactured, and perfectly tailored to your requirements.

Test system for Hairpins – maximum safety for the electric Motor

Hairpins form the heart of modern electric drives: They determine the performance, efficiency, and reliability of the entire electric motor. A single faulty Hairpin can later lead to serious faults, power loss – or, in the worst case, to the failure of the entire electric Motor.

To prevent this, Hairpins are tested under realistic conditions with our Test system.

During the high voltage test, the Hairpins are placed in a so-called ball bath: A bath of conductive stainless steel balls that completely encloses the Hairpin. This medium acts like a perfectly fitting, all-sided electrical Connection. This allows for the detection of insulation faults, micro-cracks, and material defects that would remain undetected in classic test setups.

The result: 100% tested hairpins, guaranteed safe windings, maximum service life of the electric motor.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Fully automatic high voltage test in a ball bath for maximum measurement safety
  • Detection of even minimal insulation weaknesses and manufacturing defects
  • Seamless documentation for series production and traceability
