Test apparatus for test cards

A test apparatus (1) for test cards (37), comprising a receiving device (3) for holding at least one test card (37) to be tested, comprising at least one contact device (4) for making electrical touch contact with electrically conductive contact points of the at least one test card (37) in the receiving device (3), wherein the contact device (4) can be arranged vertically above the receiving device for making touch contact, and comprising an actuating device (19), which is formed to displace the contact device (4) and the receiving device (3) relative to one another for establishing the touch contact, wherein the receiving device (3) can be displaced by means of the actuating device (19) from a test position, which is located vertically below the contact device (4), into a loading and unloading position, which is laterally spaced apart from the contact device (4), and the other way round,

• wherein the test apparatus (1) comprises a frame (2), to which the receiving device (3) and the contact device (4) are mounted,
• wherein the receiving device (3) is mounted to the frame (2) as horizontally shiftable drawer (6),
• wherein the contact device (4) is mounted in a vertically shiftable manner between a touch contact position and a release position by means of the actuating device (19), and
• wherein the actuating device (19) has at least one first actuator (25) for displacing the receiving device (3), and has at least one second actuator (26) for displacing the contact device (4), wherein the second actuator (26) is coupled to at least one slider (27), which has a slide guide (28) comprising an obliquely aligned run-on surface (29), which cooperates with an entraining protrusion (30) of the contact device (4) for vertically displacing the contact device (4).
