[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 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 cost burden, including maintenance. - There was a need to secure storage space for fixtures, which also added management hassle. *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. - Storage space for fixtures is no longer required, eliminating management hassle. For more details about the flying probe tester, please download the PDF catalog or feel free to contact us.

Are you having trouble with automatic LED light emission inspection?

Measure the emission color/brightness of LEDs quantitatively with a unique color sensor!! 【LED Color Test System】

Are you struggling with the labor involved in inspecting the LED's emission color and brightness? Takahashi's flying probe tester has an optional feature that allows for the measurement of LED emission color and brightness using a color sensor. We have examples of cases where visual inspections have been switched to inspections using the flying probe tester. Here are the actual benefits of implementation: 1: Zero burden on visual inspectors Directly looking at the LED's emission color can damage the operator's eyes, but switching to the flying probe tester can eliminate this burden. 2: Clarification of measurement standards Visual inspection can lead to variability in judgment criteria among inspectors. However, inspections using a color sensor have clear judgment criteria based on numerical comparisons, allowing for stable inspections. 3: No need for jig manufacturing costs In the case of LED inspections with the flying probe tester, there is no need to create dedicated jigs. We welcome inquiries for trials and tests. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Fastest in-circuit testing! Case studies of flying probe testers.

The Takaya APT series is a board inspection device capable of industry-leading ultra-fast in-circuit testing. Here are some case studies.

■Inspection of mass-produced products By connecting to loaders/unloaders, automated and unmanned inspections are possible even for large lots. ■Inspection of small quantities of various types of substrates There is no need for dedicated jig manufacturing costs. While it is difficult to identify defective areas in function tests, they can be identified through in-circuit tests. ■Inspection of prototype substrates We can respond immediately to design changes. Function tests are also possible, such as applying voltage to the substrate to confirm circuit operation (ON/OFF) and measuring direct current. ■Implementation confirmation inspection during model switching We can reliably and quickly confirm the mounting program of the first lot and check for incorrect component sets on the mounter during model switching. ■Defect analysis inspection This can be used for inspecting substrates that failed functional tests or for defect analysis of substrates that failed in the market. It significantly reduces repair time and decreases the number of discarded substrates. Additionally, there are various other applications where Takaya testers have been utilized successfully.

Collaboration 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 a flying probe tester 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 specialized fixtures for connections. At Takaya Corporation, we possess technology that uses flying probes instead of fixtures to 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.

Implementation Technology Journal Electronics Implementation Technology Special Feature Article Published

We have received permission to publish the feature article that was included in the only domestic magazine specializing in implementation technology, "Electronics Implementation Technology." You can view it here.

Special Feature Content ■ Latest Trends in BGA Implementation Board Inspection Hybrid Inspection of Flying Probe Testers and JTAG Testing Andor System Support Co., Ltd. / Masayuki Taniguchi Takaya Co., Ltd. / Kohei Yanagida Overview BGA (Ball Grid Array) components are now used in all types of electronic devices, from consumer products to industrial equipment, and more recently, automotive devices. However, a reliable method for inspecting boards with BGA components (hereafter referred to as BGA implementation boards) has not been established. This is because every inspection method has its advantages and disadvantages, making it impossible to conduct a complete test using only one inspection method. Therefore, inspecting BGA implementation boards has become a challenge for many companies. In this article, we will introduce the latest technological trends in hybrid inspection that combines flying probe testers and JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) boundary scan as one solution to this issue. 1. Introduction 2. Inspection and Challenges of BGA Implementation Boards 3. Possibilities of Electrical Testing 4. In-Circuit Testing 5. JTAG Boundary Scan Testing 6. Hybrid Testing 7. Conclusion

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 resistance (0.1 mΩ and below). *Resolution: 0.001 mΩ Compared to handheld low-resistance meters, the flying probe tester has longer measurement lines (approximately 5 meters) from the measurement probes to the main unit, which necessitates machine design that takes external noise into account; however, we have expertise in this area. Additionally, when measuring with handheld probes, the force, angle, and position when contacting the measurement target are not consistent, which can lead to variations in measurement results and potential marks or damage to the object being measured. Our probe system is well-regarded for its damage-free contact and high-precision contact. If you have concerns such as wanting to eliminate the uncertainty of manual measurements or finding the measurement process too cumbersome, please feel free to reach out to us. We would be happy to accept test trials.
