March, 2012 Texmac: Convertible Flying-Probe Tester
Santa Clara. CA — Texmac, the exclusive authorized distributor of Takaya flying probers in North America, is showing a new single/dual-sided flying-probe sys- tem the APT-9611CER. This new test system addresses coverage issues for boards with unique designs that require multiple simul- taneous probe contacts on both the top and bottom sides of the board. It also eliminates the need for a second test for boards that have many test points that are accessible only from one side of a double-sided board. Although there are now several
dual-sided flying-probe systems on the market, what makes the APT- 9611CER special is that its architec-
ture allows it to convert from a dual- sided system into a single-sided sys- tem that can then utilize a Grid-Lok system to provide the ultimate in board support for designs that may require it. The new APT-9611CER utilizes
the same XY moving mechanisms proven in the Takaya APT-9411CE. It then adds two flying probes and a CCD camera to the bottom side, cre- ating a tester that can contact boards from each side simultaneously. This capability is also available to new and existing APT-9411CE users as a retrofit.
That means that people who
have already invested in an APT- 9411CE or plan to invest in a high-
performance flying-probe system now, but don’t currently need dual- sided probing, can purchase an APT- 9411CE with the confidence that they will be able to add this capabili- ty in the future if ever needed with- out paying the price today. For boards that require extra
support, the Grid-Lok support sys- tem eliminates the requirement for customized tooling for each board type, as it automatically senses the topography of the board’s component side and then adjusts its support fin- gers to ensure proper stability. Once set, the individually controlled pneu- matic support pins maintain their configuration until they independ- ently re-set for the next board to
arrive at the prober — an especially important capability in a high-mix environment. Not only are the ongo- ing manufacturing costs and poten- tial errors inherent in customized support fixtures eliminated, but Grid-Lok also reduces system setup and change-over time by eliminating the need to manually change out board-support fixtures. The system incorporates Tak -
aya’s exclusive Real Map software, which improves test programming efficiency. The Real Map software lets users generate a high-definition board image that is attached to the test pro- gram and can be displayed and scaled to any size. Users can check, correct, and manipulate xy coordinates shown on the high resolution image, auto- matically incorporating any changes into the test program. This greatly
