EMProbe CR5 - Custom Large-Reach Robotic EMI Scanning System

Custom configuration | 6-axis robot | 900 mm working-radius example

EMProbe CR5 is a custom near-field scanning solution for larger DUTs and applications that need more reach than a compact bench arm. It combines a six-axis collaborative robot, application-specific probe mounting and EMViewer scan control with a compatible external spectrum analyzer. Each system is configured around the DUT geometry, probe selection, workspace and measurement objectives. Request a quotation for your application.

EMProbe CR5 near-field EMC and EMI diagnostic system

Application and capabilities

EMProbe CR5 is a custom near-field scanning solution for larger DUTs and applications that need more reach than a compact bench arm. It combines a six-axis collaborative robot, application-specific probe mounting and EMViewer scan control with a compatible external spectrum analyzer. Each system is configured around the DUT geometry, probe selection, workspace and measurement objectives. Request a quotation for your application.

  • Define scan paths around the actual DUT geometry and component access.
  • Integrate Y.I.C. probes or an agreed third-party probe with a custom mounting adapter.
  • Automate motion and measurement synchronization with 2D/3D field maps, heat maps, logging and report/data export.
  • Scope robot mounting, fixtures, cable management and on-site integration for the intended application.

CR5 table sizes and workspace planning

Use these table-size recommendations as a starting point when planning your CR5 installation. Confirm the final table, robot mounting and usable workspace for the selected DUT and fixtures.

Table sizeRecommendationUse
800 x 800 mm Small Robot only / limited workspace
1,000 x 1,000 mm Minimum practical Compact applications
1,200 x 1,200 mm Recommended Good general-purpose setup
1,500 x 1,000 mm Excellent Robot plus workpieces and fixtures
1,500 x 1,500 mm Very spacious Training, demonstrations, multiple stations

System components

Proposed project scope

  • Robot and probe-set selection defined in the project quotation
  • Custom probe mounting assembly and mechanical integration
  • Robot motion programming/interface and EMViewer integration
  • Functional test scope and user documentation agreed in the quotation

User-supplied or separately specified

  • Compatible external spectrum analyzer unless expressly quoted
  • Windows 11 PC/laptop
  • DUT dimensions, mass, required scan surfaces and operating conditions
  • Probe models/drawings and required frequency range
  • Suitable robot mounting, work area and commissioning arrangements

Measurement workflow

StepWhat the engineer does
1. Configure Choose the frequency band, analyzer settings and scan area; connect the DUT and measurement system.
2. Locate Run a spectral or spatial scan to identify frequencies and emission hot spots.
3. Investigate Refine the region, probe position or resolution while keeping the setup controlled.
4. Compare Repeat after a design change, compare results and retain maps and reports.

Software and configuration

EMViewer links scan position with RF measurements. Available modes include spectral sweeps, spatial hot-spot maps and combined scans. Confirm the supported software release, analyzer driver, license and support term when configuring the system.

EMViewer software information | Spectrum-analyzer compatibility

Working radius is not a guaranteed rectangular scan area. The proposal separately mentions 1,096 mm maximum reach; the usable measurement envelope must be confirmed with the probe, fixture and robot configuration.

There is no fixed CR5 datasheet or standard package. Installation, training, on-site commissioning, analyzer supply and final acceptance testing are agreed in the quotation.

Array spacing, effective resolution, robotic scan spacing and robot repeatability describe different properties. Probe systems do not have one continuous guaranteed frequency range independent of the selected probe and analyzer. CR5 values are a project example; final specifications are defined by quotation. Near-field diagnostics support EMC development and do not replace a formal emissions compliance test.
