FUSION Hardware Development Over the Years

Since OptoFidelity launched FUSION robot for functional testing of smartphones we have been constantly developing it to meet the needs of our customers. Over the years FUSION has been used to test millions of smartphones with excellent repeatability.

FUSION provides extensive test capabilities and highly efficient test cycle time with minimal handling. It can be used manually or integrated into a fully automated test line with various types of feeder mechanisms. With FUSION measuring is more precise than human-made tests. This allows for a faster testing process and more efficient results. 

Have a look at the milestones and highlights throughout the years. Our continuous work ensures our products are made for our customers to develop their businesses and processes further.
