Notice of Joint Research Report and Seminar Presentation with Ehime University (JPCA Show 2024 / 2024 Microelectronics Show)

This is a flagship model that arranges probe heads above and below, enabling simultaneous in-circuit testing of both sides of the substrate.

Four probes are arranged on the top side of the substrate and two on the bottom side. Each probe can move freely and at high speed, achieving an astonishing inspection speed that is world-class in standard. By using the upper and lower flying probes simultaneously, a combination inspection of up to six probes allows for simultaneous contact inspection at both points on the top and bottom sides of the substrate. This significantly expands the inspection range and further accelerates inspection time. It is equipped with a wealth of features and boasts world-class standards in speed and positioning accuracy. ★You can bring your substrate to our demo room at our Okayama headquarters for evaluation testing★ We can conduct a series of tests including the creation of inspection programs, inspections using actual substrates, and summarizing evaluation results. If you are interested, please apply through the 'Contact Us' section below.

• Measurement and Inspection

Programming for FPGAs and special performance tests such as BST can be handled with a flying probe tester.

This is an option that equips the underside operating axis of the APT-1600FD series with a dedicated fixture lifting mechanism. It allows for special inspections connected to external devices, such as Boundary Scan Testing (BST), as well as writing to and reading logs from ICs, to be performed in parallel with in-circuit testing. *Please refer to the YouTube video for an image of the operation.

The Takaya APT series is a board inspection device capable of industry-leading ultra-high-speed in-circuit testing.

One method for efficiently mass-producing products is the "line production method," which arranges machinery in order of the production process. This method excels in the productivity of single products and is adopted in many manufacturing sites. The incorporation of inspection processes into this line production method is referred to as "inline inspection." Takaya's flying probe testers have models that can accommodate this "inline inspection" by automatically transporting circuit boards on a conveyor. By collaborating with loaders, unloaders, and inverters through SMEMA, it enables automated and unmanned inspection even for large quantities of circuit boards. Additionally, by using it in conjunction with other companies' 3D AOI (automated optical inspection machines), the flying probe tester can detect issues such as microbridges that cannot be identified through visual inspection alone. This approach leverages the strengths of each system, resulting in the elimination of false positives, improved inspection capabilities, and increased speed. If you are facing challenges with full electrical inspection (ICT) of mass-produced circuit boards, please consider Takaya's APT series, which allows for easy line switching without the need for fixtures.

Exhibiting at Nepcon 2024 from January 24! Achieving interoperability between industrial equipment and MES systems!

OPC UA (OPC Unified Architecture) is an open international standard developed for safe and reliable data exchange in industries such as industrial automation. It was announced by the OPC Foundation in 2008 and later standardized as IEC62541. It enables secure and highly reliable data exchange across various types of devices, operating systems, and manufacturers, making it recommended as the standard communication for Industrie 4.0 and increasingly adopted worldwide. Additionally, it is aligned with the international standard for PLCs, IEC61131-3, providing the advantage of high reliability in exchanging information from the manufacturing site with higher-level monitoring control systems and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). In response to this trend, Takaya has prepared an option to equip the APT series of flying probe testers with an OPC UA server. We are working to promote the adoption of industrial IoT standards that bridge FA equipment and IT.

Are you relying on "human eyes" for counting parts? At Tokyo Pack 2026, you can see four types of counting, measuring, and packaging machines in action. - Two-way mirror spectral image processing vision counter: Resolution of 65.5 microns. Can identify overlapping tiny parts. - CCD image processing parts counter VC-200: Compatible with a variety of items such as connectors, electronic parts, rubber, and plastic products. - Mini feeder-type weighing machine: Weighs tea, coffee beans, rice, and powders. - Ultra-compact gas filling automatic packaging machine GX-402: Suitable for flat bags of 10-500g and gusset bags of 100-500g. *The exhibited machines are representative examples of standard specifications. Actual specifications will be customized individually.

Counting errors and the effort to confirm quantities of parts are hidden costs in the manufacturing process. At JIMTOF 2026, we will showcase two models of Shoraku Industry's vision counters that count parts using camera image processing and AI. The two-direction mirror spectral image processing vision counter has a resolution of 65.5 microns. By capturing images from two directions, it accurately identifies overlapping small parts such as screws, bolts, and metal components. The CCD-type image processing parts counter VC-200 model, equipped with four feeders and AI self-learning, accommodates a variety of items including connectors, electronic parts, rubber, and plastic products. *The exhibited machines are representative examples of standard specifications. Actual specifications will be customized individually.

This is a notice for the rebroadcast of the co-hosted seminar with Live Consulting Co., Ltd. held on September 11 and 15, 2026. "The New AI Tools Are No Longer Needed" This seminar allows participants to experience Microsoft Copilot, which can be used directly within familiar Word, Excel, and Teams, through a demonstration of actual operating screens. The answers are already within your existing Microsoft 365. You can use AI directly in Word, Excel, and Teams without the need for additional tool selection, all within the security framework of M365. We will explain the basics to practical applications of Copilot in 90 minutes, aimed at executives and managers in the manufacturing industry. We sincerely look forward to your participation. 【Recommended for】 - Executives and managers in the manufacturing industry who have not yet mastered generative AI/Copilot - Those considering AI implementation but are stalled due to tool selection, security, or promotion systems - Those who prefer to see "actual screens" rather than just "reading" before making a decision - Those who are concerned about security and cannot use ChatGPT in their company

We will be exhibiting at "CEATEC 2026," which will be held at Makuhari Messe from October 13 to 16. We provide information technology and process informatics (PI) that optimize "how to create" using physical simulations, AI, and machine learning in process development. We look forward to your visit to our booth. 【Seminar Information】 "Process Informatics for Exploring Optimal Manufacturing Conditions" Date and Time: October 16, 2026 (Friday) 12:45 - 13:00 Venue: Makuhari Messe Exhibition Hall 4 P Stage Speaker: CEO Takaishi Please check the link below for details on our exhibition.

In recent years, weather risks that affect construction sites, such as localized heavy rain, strong winds, and extreme heat, have been increasing. In response to this situation, more companies are implementing weather information services at the company or branch level to manage weather risks across multiple sites collectively. On the other hand, is there a challenge where "the company checks weather information, but it is not used much on-site"? To implement weather measures across the entire company, it is important not only for managers to easily grasp multiple sites but also for the personnel working on-site to be able to easily check the information necessary for their specific site. We are releasing a new feature called "Field View." For more details, please visit our website.
