The UK's only manufacturer of cappuccino and espresso coffee machines is using the advanced multi-function ClareHAL 104 from Seaward to improve product testing at its West Midlands engineering and manufacturing site.? ??At Fracino’s Birmingham facility, newly produced coffee machines are designed and tested for reliability to ensure they operate correctly and to the highest standards of performance and safety.
All products have to be electrically safety tested to ensure they are safe for use by customers once they leave the factory gate. This involves the accurate recording of test results and storing them for quality control and traceability purposes. So, in a move to improve this process and provide greater flexibility Fracino is now using a ClareHAL 104 on one of its two main production lines. This forms an integral part of the quality control processes at the factory, which produces over 3000 machines a year, and enables the company to undertake fast and accurate electrical safety and run testing without damaging product. The ClareHAL 104 is a fast and efficient automatic manufacturing solution, which records test results and enables accurate testing to be carried out in line with relevant product standards at all times.
