- Minimize mechanical components
- Expensive tooling costg -change not allowed
- Box required to be structurally strong
- Aesthetically appealing
- Progressive die stamping for base and cover
- Built in fastening features in the sheet metal
- Complex design - multiple features in one sheet metal stamping
- Soft tool build for sheet metal verification; SLA prototype for plastic verification
- Structural analysis & Thermal analysis
- ID design - Injection molded plastic bezel
- Fabrication and assembly drawing for production
ATE Test Head
Challenge
- Precision Machining and casting
- Stack-up tolerance - extremely tight tolerance required
- Cover design - sheet metal
- Mechanism to counterbalance lid during opening/closing
- Liquid cooled system for pin-card
- Reduced footprint serviceability and reliability are primary importance
- Light and appealing enclosure
- Floating pin-card to remove closed loop tolerance
- Simplified design, reduced components count to half for ease of assemply, ease of service
- Used gas spring for counterbalancing, automatic latch to lock lid when opened
- Used high precision quick connect
Liquid Cooled Pin Card
Challenge
- Cold Plate design
- Tight real estate
- Precision tolerance Pogo Block
