Fastest in-circuit testing! The impact of introducing flying probe testers.

The Takaya APT series is a board inspection device capable of industry-leading ultra-high-speed in-circuit testing. Here, we introduce its implementation benefits.

■ Quality Improvement By detecting defects that are difficult to identify through visual inspections or functional tests, we can enhance the overall quality of the implementation process based on test results and aggregated data. It is also capable of pin contact for microchip components and fine-pitch ICs/connectors, significantly improving detection rates in high-density board inspections compared to fixture inspections. ■ Inspection Cost Reduction There is no need for expensive dedicated inspection fixtures, which greatly reduces inspection costs for prototype boards and small to medium production boards. In the event of design changes, there are no costs for modifying fixtures. ■ Reduction in Defect Analysis Time Since defective areas can be identified (defective areas are displayed on the board image), defect analysis and component replacement tasks become easier, significantly shortening repair times. ■ Traceability Management Measurement values and inspection dates for components are saved for each board inspection, allowing for easy searching and editing as quality control documentation. ■ Reduction in Line Downtime Waiting times before mass production are significantly reduced, improving the operational efficiency of the implementation process. It alleviates the burden on operators from LCR meter measurements and visual inspections, eliminating human error. For more detailed information, please contact your sales representative.
