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

Accurate, repeatable EMI source localization using a single probe and a 6-axis robotic arm

Handheld near-field probing is a proven method for diagnosing EMC/EMI issues, but it is inherently operator-dependent and difficult to reproduce—especially on dense boards, assemblies with height variation, or complete products. The EMProbe-DBM-E6 solves this by combining a computer-controlled 6-axis robotic arm with near-field probes and EMViewer software to deliver high-precision, repeatable scanning with 0.01 mm repeatability.

This platform is ideal for pre- and post-compliance diagnostics, including scanning of non-flat surfaces and complete products, where traditional planar scanning methods are limited. System performance is primarily determined by the selected spectrum analyzer and probe, enabling a scalable solution aligned to your measurement needs.

Key Technical Advantages

Robotic repeatability (0.01 mm) to remove operator variability and improve correlation between design iterations
6-axis motion enables scanning over 3D geometries, tall components, and non-flat DUT surfaces
Probe-agnostic workflow supports off-the-shelf handheld probes and Y.I.C. probes
Spectrum analyzer flexibility: analyzers supporting SCPI can be controlled from EMViewer
Fast debug cycle: diagnose, modify, and retest quickly—supports intermittent issues and verification of fixes
Broad application coverage: emissions, immunity, filtering, shielding, broadband noise, and common-mode checks

Typical Applications

Component-side scanning of dense PCBs (high-speed / high-power / high-density)
EMProbe-DBM-E6-Datasheet
3D near-field scanning of assemblies and complete products
Root-cause localization for radiated emissions and coupling paths
Cable/common-mode noise investigations (with suitable probes)
EMI shielding effectiveness checks (relative comparisons)
Design iteration comparisons and documented debug workflows

System Overview

The EMProbe-DBM-E6 solution consists of:

Computer-controlled robotic arm (6-axis)
Near-field probes (handheld or Y.I.C.)
Customer-supplied spectrum analyzer
EMViewer software for scan control, visualization, comparison, and reporting

This architecture allows the system to scale with your analyzer/probe choice while maintaining high mechanical repeatability.

Included Probes (Y.I.C. Technologies NFPSet)

The EMProbe package includes a set of 5 near-field probes (electric and magnetic) with the following frequency ranges:

Probe Model	Type	Frequency Range
HXY 10A02	Magnetic	10 kHz – 300 MHz
HXY 20A02	Magnetic	100 kHz – 1.4 GHz
HZ 40A02	Magnetic	1 GHz – 14 GHz
