By Mark Harding, Director of Sales, North America, Digitaltest, Inc., Concord, CA As a Digitaltest customer since
2003, EKM was already using a Condor Flying Probe System as part of its test platform, but with a sudden spurt in business growth, the compa- ny encountered a severe production problem. Volumes were increasing dramatically and test was becoming a real bottleneck.
Eliminating Test Bottleneck
EKM needed to test Condor flying probe tester. l

more boards at the same time in order to ramp up volume. Digitaltest sug- gested they use the existing Condor’s capa- bility to accommodate a vacuum fixture to achieve the higher out- put that was needed. This simple solution saved EKM money and brought more value to the original Condor pur- chase. A Digitaltest en - gineer was able to design and install the vacuum fixture and the results were dramatic.
With the new fixture in place,
EKM Elektronik went from testing 30 boards in 8 hours to testing 70 boards in the same time frame. The result after using the 90 pin vacuum
fixture on the Condor Flying Probe is dramatic, more than double the out- put was achieved saving both time and money. Uwe Muller, EKM’s General
Manager, is very pleased with the Digital test solution: “As a well- known subcontractor in the manu- facture of electronic de vices and equipment, we have to be able to react quickly and flexibly to all of our cus- tomer demands. This effort means
supplying the highest quality with high through - put and test coverage. Part nering with Digital - test has been just the right solution for us.”
Improved Flying Probe Algorithm
The test heads of the
Condor flying probe test system can land on small SMT component leads — down to 100µm. C-LINK now has an improved Flying Probe algorithm. If a pad is accessible by more
it is now possible for an operator to create very robust test programs in much shorter development time.
