Precision Test Fixture Loaders
Precision test fixture loaders are used in electronics manufacturing to automate the insertion and removal of PCBs, subassemblies, or components into electrical test fixtures. These systems demand smooth, repeatable motion to ensure accurate alignment and consistent contact especially for high-pin-count or delicate connections.
Load Consistently. Align Accurately. Validate with Confidence.
Helix Linear Technologies provides the lead screws, linear actuators, and motion assemblies that drive precision fixture loading mechanisms. Our components deliver controlled force and exact travel distances, helping eliminate misalignment, reduce manual labor, and improve test reliability in functional and in-circuit testing (ICT) stations.
Engineered for high-throughput environments, Helix motion systems help OEMs and test equipment manufacturers build loading systems that perform with consistency, cycle after cycle.
Key Benefits:
- Accurate linear motion for gentle, repeatable test engagement
- Controlled force and stroke for sensitive or high-density fixtures
- Compact actuators fit into benchtop and inline test systems
- High durability for 24/7 electronics production and validation
Helix powers the motion that ensures every connection counts by helping your test stations deliver dependable results, faster.
