Aesa Cortaillod
Stand: 10A38
Aesa Cortaillod, a Swiss company that
innovates in cable quality metrology, will
be introducing the latest test products
for enhancing quality management
and productivity. Driven by a constant
commitment to boost customers’ yield,
Aesa will take this opportunity to meet
the main players in the cable industry and
demonstrate new capabilities of its test
equipment.
A typical set of systems will be available
for demo sessions:
• The new Vega DT (Desktop),
integrating embedded VNA and PC,
o ers a compact solution for the
measurement of LAN cables. With
alien crosstalk (AXT) measurement
being required more and more by the
existing and coming standards, Aesa
developed a speci c multi-loading
solution, making possible the
achievement of such a measurement
on four-pairs equipment.
• Another innovation is the new ResTest
1 linear resistance bridge, allowing
a reliable and quick measurement
of the wire resistivity. This new
functionality is a major asset for the
validation of drawn wires. ResTest 1
will nd its place at the raw material
incoming inspection as well as after
the drawing process. It results in the
improvement of the nal cable quality
and in the performance of an accurate
acceptance test of drawn wires.
The existing test equipment on the
market solely provides an approximate
value (by calculation) of this intrinsic
physical parameter.
• The science of Computer Aided
Quality (CAQ) is developing in the
same signi cant way as development
(CAD) and manufacturing (CAM). CIQ,
Aesa’s data management system,
connects the multiple “quality islands”
of the manufacturing plant and stores
all the acquired data in a central
database. Continuously capturing
the process data and identifying the
trends in real-time allows customers to
drive their processes in a cost-e ective
and e cient way. The recorded data
can not only ensure the conformity
of the product but also analyse the
long-term trends to enable quality
professionals to develop strategies
and process improvements. CIQ has
been designed taking foremost into
consideration the speci cities of the
cable industry, ie length-based data.
CIQ provides an e ective solution
which can be interfaced with the most
commonly used ERP or MES.
With high priority given to knowledge
sharing, technical and practical sessions
led by specialists will be performed on the
stand. On Tuesday morning, 5th April, Aesa
will demonstrate the measurement of
the resistivity parameter on its innovative
ResTest1, the sole equipment on the
market able to measure it. On Wednesday
morning, 6th April, the company will
discuss the EMC and AXT measurement
capabilities of the new Vega DT.
