Parallel ICT: a Solution for High-Volume Defect Detection


F


ast assembly and low production costs are key factors, particularly in the automotive and consumer electronics

machine for electronic boards testing suc- cessfully combines all these aspects.


industries. To enable this, ensuring that elec- tronics are functional and free of defects that could cause failure in the field is a main requirement. By identifying potential sources of


defects with in-circuit testing (ICT), manu- facturers can check electronic boards service conditions, investigate their quality, verify the parameters, and improve their design and manufacturing. Implementing an automated testing


process helps electronic board manufacturers achieve higher volumes and quality stan- dards, while reducing costs. Although there are several ways to test


electronic boards and detect defects, auto- matic in-circuit testers are the best to quick- ly handle high-volume manufacturing. Bed-of-nails machines for in-circuit test-


ing are capable of ensuring total functionali- ty of the assembled electronic board, while being able to run tests in an integrated man- ner, without taking up too much industrial space or compromising production rates.

Multi-Test Architecture Most electronic printed circuit boards


today are produced in panels composed of a high number of single boards. The SPEA T300 is an unprecedented


board tester for its unmatched high testing parallelism. With its unique design that incorporates multiple testers and multiple cores in a compact and fully automatic test- ing machine, the SPEA T300 bed-of-nails tester can detect defects and run parallel testing of a large number of boards. Completely integrated into the produc-


tion line to avoid any slowdowns at the test- ing step, the SPEA T300 has eight built-in, fully independent, and configurable testers for maximum productivity and parallel diag- nostic capabilities. With its advanced archi- tecture, the tester can test up to 32 PCBAs in parallel and flash up to 256 devices at the same time. This results in substantially reduced cycle times and lower testing costs. The tester can be programmed as a sin-
