Why Opt for Test Bench Automation?
A test bench with a LabVIEW software environment is a piece of equipment that performs measurements and collects data. The aim is to control and calibrate industrial robotic solutions. The operator has to create a graphical language on the platform (“G”) to create a code or program running under an environment (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux) that will control the operation.
Thanks to this equipment, manufacturers can measure the performance of their products. The data they obtain can also be used for fine-tuning. Its integration into the industrial process offers a number of advantages, including:
- fewer manual tasks
- reduced risk of errors, particularly when the product is put into service at the end of the production line;
- the platform saves time and increases productivity (by improving the number of tests through task automation).
LabVIEW, Software Dedicated to Instrument Programming
The test bench with LabVIEW software environment is used in a wide range of applications such as measurement, control, automated testing and instrumentation. It is equipped with several specialized functions including VXI, GPIB, PXI, data processing, DAQ acquisition cards. The versatility of this solution is also due to the particularities of the “G” language and the development conditions: hardware installation wizards and standard peripheral drivers.
LabVIEW takes its name from the concept of the virtual instrument. This is characterized by a permanent graphical interface for each program function. The user can interact with the program via an indicator-based interface. From here, he or she can, for example, request the display of results, or read parameters and commands.
Thanks to LabVIEW, it is now possible to automate the assembly of several programmable devices. The user has easy access to the assembly’s functions via a single interface.
