Engineering Development Station (EDS)

Engineering Development Stations (EDS) are single-board (one-slot) systems that provide the same test electronics and device cooling for single burn-in boards as are available in full burn-in systems of the same configuration. The EDS is primarily used for test development and board troubleshooting.

Research and development on devices
Single-board testing
Open design for easy access to test points
Scoping signals on burn-in boards
Designing and debugging test programs
Troubleshooting burn-in boards
Running diagnostic tests
Use with an accompanying burn-in system with the same design configuration

Burn-In Carts & Mobile Workstations

Micro Control offers mobile solutions for transporting burn-in boards (BIBs) and regulator assemblies between burn-in systems and Engineering Development Stations (EDS). Burn-In Carts provide secure, manual transport for the LC-2 V Series, LC-3, LC-FLEX, and HPB-5C, while the powered Mobile Workstation supports the HPB-6 and HPB-8.

The Mobile Workstation uses a powered lift that automatically aligns and levels to slot height, with rollers that let BIB and regulator assemblies slide into place with minimal effort. It docks directly to the burn-in system or EDS, and can integrate or separate BIBs and regulators while docked. BIBs and regulators lock independently for secure transport.

Direct docking to burn-in systems and EDS
Powered integration and separation of BIBs and regulators while docked (Mobile Workstation)
Open-sided design for easy access to BIBs and sockets
Independent locking of BIBs and regulators for secure transport
Safety features including locking castors, sliding window interlock, and BIB detection sensors

Automation Solutions

Micro Control’s automation complete setup connects burn-in systems with automated loading and mobile robotics, moving devices through the burn-in process with minimal manual handling. It is a modular network (Automatic Loader-Unloader (ALU), Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR), and burn-in systems) coordinated by cross-platform software that synchronizes all motion and communication. The scalable design supports a single system or an entire production line.

The complete setup integrates with some existing systems, allowing current customers to add automation without replacing burn-in hardware. Retrofits support direct ALU connection and AGV/AMR compatibility, enhancing reliability, consistency, and throughput while maintaining Micro Control’s precise electrical and thermal control.

Turnkey Solutions

Micro Control Company burn-in accessories are available as part of a complete turnkey solution. Available options for including with a burn-in with test system are engineering development stations, carts, automation, burn-in boards, and even purchasing sockets, which can save time and streamline the purchasing process.

Developing Automation Offerings

Automation is already available for our HPB-8 and HPB-6 systems, and we are actively working to bring those capabilities to more of our burn-in systems over time. As capabilities and demands expand, the goal stays the same: move high-value devices through burn-in with less manual handling and more repeatable results.

Available Today: Fully integrated automation for the HPB-8 and HPB-6, from automated loading to mobile robotics
Expanding Over Time: Engineering work underway to extend automation to additional burn-in systems
Built to Scale: A modular path that grows from a single cell to a full production line as your needs change

Engineering Development Station (EDS) Benefits

An EDS is a single-board (one-slot) system that brings the same test electronics and device cooling as a full burn-in system to the bench. It is purpose-built for the work that happens before production: developing test programs, validating boards, and tracking down issues one board at a time.

Single-Board Focus: Develop, debug, and troubleshoot one burn-in board without tying up a full system
Open Access: An open design that makes test points easy to reach for scoping signals and running diagnostics
Production-Matched: Same configuration as its accompanying burn-in system, so what you prove out transfers directly to the floor
