The fastest in-circuit test! What are the features of a flying probe tester?

The Takaya APT series is a board inspection device capable of ultra-fast in-circuit testing at an industry-leading level.

The Takaya APT series is a flying probe in-circuit tester that boasts overwhelming performance with the world's top market share, capable of detecting all defects in assembled boards through ultra-fast inspection. An in-circuit tester is a device that inspects the reliability of electrical connections between components and the board. By applying signals smaller than the operating current, it can identify defective areas and detect incorrect constants without damaging the components or the board. It is characterized by its ability to discover electrical defects that cannot be found through visual inspection (AOI), thereby enhancing quality assurance levels and making it easier to gain customer trust. The latest APT series has achieved a maximum probe movement speed increase of up to 1.5 times compared to previous models, thanks to improvements in high-speed drive motors and communication control, enabling high-speed inspections with a fastest step of 0.02 seconds. This reduces inspection time by more than 30% compared to previous models, contributing to further reductions in inspection costs. We welcome inquiries for trials/tests. If you have any issues with inspecting assembled boards, please feel free to contact us. *For detailed information, please refer to the catalog.*

Basic Knowledge of In-Circuit Testing: What is the Difference Between Fixture-Based and Flying Probe Testing?

*Free materials are currently available. A must-see for those who don't know the basics of in-circuit testers, which you can't ask about now!

There are two probing methods for in-circuit testing (electrical inspection of printed circuit boards): fixture-based and flying probe. **Fixture-based** A test fixture with embedded contact probes makes contact with the test board, allowing all probes to simultaneously touch designated test points on the board. In this state, inspections of each electronic component are performed while switching the measurement lines with relays. The boards to be inspected require a program that combines each inspection and the production of a dedicated fixture, which presents challenges in terms of cost, speed, and storage space. **Flying Probe** Multiple arms holding probes perform probing at any point on the board. While probe movement time is required, resulting in longer inspection times compared to the fixture-based method, it does not require a fixture and can be set up simply by changing the program. This leads to time and cost savings when viewed from an overall process perspective. It is also suitable for inspecting boards in low-volume, high-variety production. The coordinates of the test points can be arbitrarily changed, making it easy to accommodate partial design changes to the board. It is also used for prototype board inspections and failure analysis.

[Case Study] Replacement of Fixture-type In-Circuit Tester

No need for jig creation, reducing running costs by over 90%!

We would like to introduce a case where a flying probe tester was implemented as a replacement for a fixture-type (press-type) tester. *Challenges* - In the case of high-density mounted circuit boards, there were components that could not be inspected with a fixture-type tester due to the difficulty of creating fixtures in narrow areas. - For low-volume production, such as maintenance parts after mass production, the cost of fixtures became high, increasing the overall maintenance costs. - There was a need to secure storage space for fixtures, which also added management burdens. *Implementation Effects* - Components with narrow pitch that could not be inspected with fixtures can now be tested, enhancing reliability. - The need for fixture production has been eliminated, and there are no longer any running costs associated with maintenance. - Warehouse space for fixture storage is no longer required, eliminating management burdens.

Integration with boundary scan testing using a flying probe tester.

We will create new value through the mutual complementarity of ICT and BST.

In-circuit testing with flying probe testers excels at inspecting the electrical characteristics of implemented electronic components in analog circuits. However, components that cannot be probed make electrical testing difficult, and functional testing of digital circuits is challenging. On the other hand, boundary scan testing allows for quick interconnection testing between LSI pins and on-board programming for FPGAs, but it can only test digital circuits around ICs that comply with the boundary scan standard, and it also requires dedicated fixtures for connections. At Takaya Corporation, we possess technology that uses flying probes instead of fixtures that connect 4 to 5 scan-compatible pins and measuring instruments required for boundary scan testing. This allows for boundary scan testing even when the counterpart of a boundary scan-compliant IC is a non-boundary scan-compliant IC or passive components (such as connectors), by enabling the flying probe to function as a virtual boundary scan cell. With a single flying probe tester, it is possible to conduct comprehensive testing of both digital and analog circuits, thereby significantly enhancing testing efficiency compared to before.

Low resistance measurement mode (0.1mΩ～) [Under development]

Introducing the Takaya Flying Probe Tester. We are challenging the measurement of low resistance (0.1mΩ and below).

At Takaya, in order to respond to further requests from our customers, we are advancing the development of a unique mode for the flying probe tester that adjusts the application parameters to measure lower resistances (0.1 mΩ and below). *Resolution: 0.001 mΩ Compared to handheld low-resistance meters, the flying probe tester has longer measurement lines (about 5 meters) from the measurement probes to the main unit, which necessitates machine design that considers external noise. We have expertise in this area. Additionally, when measuring with handheld probes, the force, angle, and position of the probe contact with the measurement target are not constant, which can lead to variations in measurement results and potential dents or damage to the object being measured. However, our probe system is well-regarded for its damage-free contact and high-precision contact. If you have concerns about the uncertainty of manual measurements or if the measurement process is too cumbersome, please feel free to reach out to us. We would be happy to accept test trials.

[Case Study] Inspection of Large PCBs for Medical Devices

Please utilize Takaya's flying probe tester for the inspection of large substrates for medical devices (in conjunction with boundary scan).

By combining visual inspection, non-contact scanning, and physical probing, we meet the stringent reliability standards in the medical device field, achieving both quality improvement and cost reduction. 【Implementation Achievements】 - Achieved 100% inspection in inline testing, ensuring product quality. - Enhanced defect detection capabilities for large substrates and complex design boards through collaboration with boundary scan technology. 【Challenges Faced by Customers】 Limitations of APT alone: Flying probe testers excel in electrical characteristic testing, but physical access for probing is difficult with components like BGAs and QFPs where pin connections are hidden. In high-density boards, there are areas that cannot be fully covered by probing alone. Constraints of AOI: Cannot detect defects (such as solder bridges or connection failures) located beneath BGAs or large components. Internal connections and micro-short circuits in multilayer boards cannot be detected. In large substrates, there are areas that exceed the field of view, making it difficult to efficiently inspect the entire area. Challenges with large substrates and complex designs: In large substrates, inspection time tends to increase for both AOI and APT, leading to decreased productivity. Efficient inspection systems combining physical probing and non-contact inspection are necessary for 100% inspection of high-density mounted boards.
