powered by Create new test sequences
Create test sequences for new products or variants yourself – without programming, directly in the sequence editor.
Solutions
MCF develops customer-specific test and automation systems - from test fixtures to manual test stations to fully automated test cells.
From years of experience in different industries and with a large number of customers, we know exactly what is important in your testing application. MCF not only develops individual test stands or testing devices, but also designs and implements complete testing processes - from manual test stations to flexible laboratory and development testers to highly automated test systems for series production. We combine test engineering, automation, software, mechanics, electronics, manufacturing, commissioning and service.
MCF develops test systems for both purely electronic and electromechanical products – from printed circuit boards and assemblies to mechatronic units with motion, force and sensors.
In detail
Our solutions are distinguished not primarily by system type, but along these four dimensions.
From electrical functional testing to high-voltage and insulation tests to the testing of complex communication interfaces: We develop customized test systems that combine a wide variety of test methods—precisely tailored to your products and testing requirements.
MCF develops test systems to suit the respective process environment - from laboratory and endurance test benches to operator-controlled production test stations through to automated test stations, robot solutions, tray systems and fully integrated inline test cells.
In which physical and technical form a test system is implemented - from compact table test systems to 19" rack systems and portable test units to multiple testers and automated test cells.
MCF test systems are used throughout the entire product lifecycle – from prototypes and laboratory testing through verification, validation and production to service and analysis. This page provides an overview of four lifecycle phases and nine test methods, each with its own detail page.
From contacting individual assemblies to a complete mechanical test fixture: MCF develops and manufactures custom test fixtures and change kits for production, end-of-line testing and quality assurance – precisely tailored to your DUT.
Project process
Our goal is to find the best and most economical test concept for every customer – tailored to product variety, quantities and budget. With a focus on quality, reliability and collaborative partnership, we support our customers from the initial idea through development and series production – and beyond. MCF can act as a complete partner or take on individual project phases:
Open ecosystem · OpenTAP
MCF relies on OpenTAP for test systems - an open standard for test automation. This is what sets us apart from classic test system manufacturers: your test system is not a black box. You retain full control over processes, parameters and extensions - without vendor lock-in. Tap.X is the software solution that makes OpenTAP usable for testers in production, development, analysis and laboratories - and scales for all types of test processes.
Create test sequences for new products or variants yourself – without programming, directly in the sequence editor.
Adapt existing processes: add or deactivate steps, change limits and parameters.
Program new test steps in C#/.NET and install them as a plugin in OpenTAP.
Execute test sequences step by step, isolate errors and analyze causes.
Integrate additional measuring devices, write your own drivers as an instrument plugin and carry out measurements.
Create new signal paths or adapt existing switching paths – configured in a comprehensible manner instead of hard-wired.
Clear error and warning displays simplify maintenance and servicing during ongoing operation.
Free access to OpenTAP documentation, videos and community forum - your team can explore the framework themselves.
You decide how much you take on yourself. MCF is behind it in every model.
Your team maintains processes, parameters and extensions independently - with training from MCF if desired.
Your team takes care of the day-to-day work, MCF provides support with extensions, plugins and tricky cases.
MCF develops, maintains and expands your test software completely - like a classic system supplier, only without dependency.
