Enhancing Tester Setup Accuracy Through Clamping Force Data
Clamping Force Fixture (CFF) is a precision-engineered stiffener designed to measure clamping force during tester setup. By visualizing real-time clamping force data, users gain accurate and actionable insights that enhance setup efficiency. This not only improves the overall quality and consistency of the setup process but also supports the digital transformation of tester setup workflows.
