Basic Knowledge of In-Circuit Testing: What are the Advantages of the Flying Probe Method?

This is a must-see for those who don't know the basics of in-circuit testers that you can't ask about now!

In in-circuit testing using a flying probe tester, there are five significant advantages that traditional fixture-based testers do not have. These advantages are: 1. Each time, the position is confirmed with a camera for each inspection board, and the contact position is corrected. There is no need to worry about adjusting the set position. 2. If there is an error due to positional deviation, the contact position can be automatically adjusted, and re-inspection can be performed. There is no need for the operator to manually re-inspect, reducing false reports. 3. The contact speed can be flexibly adjusted. Depending on the areas to be measured, hard and soft contacts can be used interchangeably. 4. Components that cannot be electrically tested can be supplemented with the included AOI inspection function. 5. There are no running costs, no lead time for fixture creation, and no need for storage space. By maximizing these advantages, we enable higher precision and shorter inspection times for circuit boards, contributing to the reduction of inspection costs for our customers.
