The next generation of Prototype Engineering Work Stations (PET), designed for the hand testing of individual electronic devices under controlled conditions.

The PET-4 features Exatron's direct contact Wide Range Thermal Head (WRTH) allowing a full temperature range of -55°C to +155°C. (-75°C to +175°C hardware capability)

There are two base models:
(See below for shared features.)

PET-4 M - Manual Work Station:

• Manual buttons toggle WRTH left/right and up/down motion.
• Manually adjusted air pressure control.
• No computer or software required.

PET-4 C - Computerized Work Station:

• WRTH raises/lowers automatically over test socket with the push of a button.
• Added cylinder moves WRTH side to side.
• Dual start switches, requires two hands to start test.
• Requires PC or laptop with 2 unused USB2 ports. (Sold separately)
• Robust automation software:
  • Set and monitor temperature.
  • Control soak timer.
  • Start test switch and pass/fail indicator.
  • Control test socket pressure. (Requires regulator, sold separately.)
  • Test and temperature data log standard.
  • Intuitive diagnostic and service screens.

Shared PET-4 Features:

• Wide Range Thermal Head (WRTH).
• -55°C to +155°C minimum working temperature range. (-75°C to +175°C hardware capability)
• +/-0.5 degree  temperature control.
• No fluids required. (See WRTH data sheet for details.)
• Built-in purge cover for thermal head and test socket.
  • Allows placement/removal of devices without thermal head having to heat/cool to room temperature.
  • Greatly reduces dead time between tests.
• Purge requires dry, clean air. (Air dryer sold separately.)
• Includes on set of thermal head tooling, designed to match a specific device and test socket.
• Attached chiller sits on floor behind or on the side.
  • 6 ft (2 m) hose runs from chiller to PET-4.
• Direct mounting to DUT board available. (See PET-5.)
• Meets or exceeds all known ESD specifications.
• Built-in ESD wrist strap attach points.
• Built-in quick-disconnect air fitting for optional vacuum wand.
• Designed, manufactured, and built in San Jose, CA.
