Engineered for automated lines, the new tester delivers 1000 tests/second and 0.01% accuracy to eliminate throughput bottlenecks and ensure consistent quality.
In modern manufacturing, production efficiency and measurement reliability are critical. Slow or inaccurate testing can create bottlenecks, compromise quality, and impact profitability. The new HP3542 Series Precision DC Resistance Tester is designed to meet these challenges head-on, offering exceptional speed, accuracy, and integration capabilities tailored for automated production and sorting environments.
Built for the Production Line
The HP3542 Series is a high-performance DC resistance tester engineered specifically for integration into automated systems. It combines ultra-fast measurement cycles, reliable precision, and practical expandability—making it an ideal solution for applications requiring high-throughput testing, such as motor windings, PCBA, connectors, and automotive components.
Key Advantages
Ultra-Fast Measurement: Achieves a remarkable sorting speed of up to 1000 tests per second with a measurement cycle as low as 2.2 ms. This keeps pace with high-speed automation, significantly increasing production throughput and capacity.
High Precision & Reliability: Offers a basic accuracy of 0.01% with 5½-digit resolution and 0.1 μΩ sensitivity. Built-in OVC (Offset Voltage Compensation) eliminates errors from thermal EMF, while the contact check function ensures test lead integrity for trustworthy results every time.
Seamless Automation Integration: Features configurable EXT I/O interfaces (NPN/PNP) and supports multiple trigger modes, enabling easy connection with PLCs, robotics, and control systems for fully automated workflows.
Flexible, Expandable Configuration: With the optional HP935 Series Scanning Card, the system can be expanded into a 12- or 24-channel multi-point test system. This allows for efficient batch testing across multiple points using a single instrument, maximizing utilization and simplifying operations.
