EMProbe-DBM-E6 — 6-Axis Robotic Near-Field EMI Diagnostics on the Bench

6 axes | 450 mm radius | 0.01 mm positioning repeatability

EMProbe DBM E6 combines a six-axis robotic arm, near-field probes and EMViewer for repeatable component-side EMI investigations. The dedicated E6 datasheet specifies a 450 mm scan radius, scan spacing down to 0.1 mm and 0.01 mm positioning repeatability. Select the probe and compatible external analyzer to match the emissions and geometry being investigated.

Application and capabilities

EMProbe DBM E6 combines a six-axis robotic arm, near-field probes and EMViewer for repeatable component-side EMI investigations. The dedicated E6 datasheet specifies a 450 mm scan radius, scan spacing down to 0.1 mm and 0.01 mm positioning repeatability. Select the probe and compatible external analyzer to match the emissions and geometry being investigated.

  • Locate RF sources around components, traces, cables and assemblies.
  • Compare before/after changes using consistent probe orientation, height and analyzer settings.
  • Use EMViewer to connect measurement values with their location on the DUT.

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

Mechanical positioning repeatability and programmed scan spacing are different from electromagnetic resolving power; the probe size, height and field distribution also matter.

The current manufacturer robotic pages contain conflicting shared values. The model-specific retained datasheet supplies the detailed mechanical ratings shown here. RF coverage must be confirmed for the delivered probe set.

E6 datasheet probe entries give 10 kHz and 100 kHz lower limits for HXY 10A02/20A02; current NFP Kit information gives 10 MHz and 100 MHz. Confirm the supplied probe revision before specifying low-frequency coverage.

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.
