At Yutaka Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the development and manufacturing of electrical components for railway vehicles prioritize quality and safety, establishing a high-level quality management system. They strictly manage the usage and calibration status of over 600 tools and measuring instruments, and have begun exploring tool management utilizing RFID technology to further enhance quality. Challenges Before Implementation Workload Associated with Calibration Management Although the management and recording of calibration deadlines for measuring instruments like calipers are thorough, the workload was high. Difficulty in Understanding Usage Status While an asset management ledger is maintained, there were no records of usage, making it difficult to grasp the inventory status. Lack of Transparency in Usage History The frequency of use at the individual item level could not be aggregated, leaving the effective utilization of assets unclear. Features of the Implemented System By utilizing RFID technology, tools and measuring instruments equipped with IC tags can be registered for checkout and return simply by touching them to a reader. By registering calibration deadlines in the system, a warning is displayed on the screen when an attempt is made to check out an expired measuring instrument, preventing misuse in advance. This has enabled more precise quality management without increasing the workload.

【Customer's Issues】 Since management was only done through an Excel ledger, while newly added documents were accurately entered, management of checkouts and returns was not possible. If necessary materials could not be found, it was unclear whether someone had checked them out, they had been discarded, or they were lost, leading to time-consuming searches. We want to manage documents easily without placing a burden on users.

To ensure that electronic devices function correctly, the electronic circuit board within the device must operate normally. The electronic circuit board can function when electronic components are properly mounted on the printed circuit board (substrate) and power is supplied. The inspection of the electronic circuit board in this state, where electronic components are mounted, is called in-circuit testing (ICT). An in-circuit tester is a testing device aimed at inspecting the connection reliability between electronic components and the substrate, as well as checking for component errors. By inspecting the constants of individual electronic components (such as resistors and capacitors) and diode characteristics with small electrical signals, the quality can be compared without placing additional load on the substrate itself. It is also referred to as MDA (Manufacturing Defect Analyzer). Main inspection contents: ● Solder shorts and opens ● Pattern disconnections ● Missing components ● Incorrect component values ● Reverse insertion of polarized components ● Lifted leads of ICs and connectors ● Operation confirmation of digital transistors, optocouplers, and Zener diodes ● Other simple function tests

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

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, and all probes 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. For the boards being inspected, it is necessary to create a program that combines each inspection and to manufacture a dedicated fixture, which poses challenges in terms of cost, speed, and storage space. **Flying Probe** Multiple arms holding probes perform probing at any point on the board. Although probe movement time is required, resulting in longer inspection times compared to fixture-based methods, there is no need for fixtures, and setup can be changed simply by swapping programs. This can lead to time and cost reductions when viewed from the overall process perspective. It is also suitable for inspecting boards in low-volume, high-variety production. The coordinates of the test points can be changed arbitrarily, making it easy to accommodate partial design changes to the board. It is also used for prototype board inspections and failure analysis.

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

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. The contact position is corrected by checking the position with a camera for each inspection board every time. There is no need to worry about adjusting the set position. 2. If there is an error due to misalignment, 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 area to be measured, hard and soft contacts can be used interchangeably. 4. Components that cannot be inspected electrically are 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 more precise and quicker board inspections, contributing to the reduction of inspection costs for our customers. For more detailed information, our sales representative will provide an explanation, so companies considering a switch from fixture-based testers are encouraged to contact us.

■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. For more details, please contact your sales representative.

■ Quality Improvement By detecting defects that are difficult to identify through visual inspections and 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 with 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 time. ■ Traceability Management Measurement values of components and inspection dates are saved for each board inspection, allowing for easy searching and editing as quality control documentation. ■ Reduction in Line Downtime Waiting time until mass production starts is 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 errors. For more detailed information, please contact your sales representative.

This system allows for the addition of two vertical probes to the standard four inclined probes, enabling contact with points that were previously inaccessible, such as contact points between high components, vias, through-holes, and upward connectors, thereby enhancing defect detection capabilities. To select the optimal contact method according to the shape of the object being inspected, several types of probes with different tip shapes are available. Furthermore, by adding a dual Z-axis option that automatically switches between two different vertical probes according to the inspection program, manual probe replacement becomes unnecessary, allowing for more efficient inspections.

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

In printed circuit board assembly, there are two methods: "Surface Mount Technology (SMT)," which involves soldering components on the surface of the printed circuit board, and "Insertion Mount Technology (IMT)," which involves inserting electrode lead terminals into the holes (through-holes) of the printed circuit board and soldering them. Takaya's flying probe tester is also skilled at inspecting insertion-mounted boards. For larger discrete components, manual assembly followed by visual inspection can lead to variability and the possibility of inspection errors. However, by using the flying probe tester, inspections can be conducted without mistakes, ensuring reliable traceability. For large hand-inserted components related to power lines, issues such as misplacement, bridging, shorts, and polarity, which are difficult to detect with AOI (automated optical inspection), can be electrically tested to prevent component and board damage during power-on, thereby reducing the occurrence of discarded boards. In recent years, as miniaturization and high-density integration of boards have progressed, surface mount technology has become mainstream, but there are still many boards manufactured using insertion mount technology. If you are facing inspection challenges, please feel free to reach out.

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

We would like to introduce a case where a flying probe tester was implemented shortly after the start of mass production, during the period before the completion of the fixtures. *Challenges - The creation of fixtures for fixture-based testers typically takes about a month, so if there are specification changes just before mass production, it can be difficult to arrange the fixtures in time. *Benefits of Implementation - The flying probe tester can start inspections on the same day as long as the inspection program is created. This allows for immediate inspections right after the start of mass production, when the defect rate is highest, providing reassurance to our customers. For more details about the flying probe tester, please download the PDF catalog or feel free to contact us.

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

We would like to introduce a case where Takaya's flying probe tester was implemented for failure board analysis in the Quality Assurance Department. *Challenges Approximately 150 to 200 boards per month are returned from domestic and international markets due to failures. Operators were repairing while searching for defective areas with handheld testers, but it was labor-intensive, so automation was desired. The main causes of defects include component lifting, pattern breaks, and component destruction. Due to the variety of product types, creating inspection jigs was costly, so inspection using the flying probe tester was introduced. The causes of defects include component lifting, pattern breaks, and component destruction. 〇Results - Faulty components were identified quickly without labor or oversight. - Simple function tests can be conducted simultaneously with operational testing. - Using the accumulation and analysis functions of inspection results, trends such as differences in failure modes based on the country of shipment for the same board can be fed back to design.

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

In the component mounting process of printed circuit boards, mistakes due to incorrect component sets or implementation program errors during model changes in the mounter equipment can lead to defects on a lot basis (lot out) if discovered late, resulting in significant losses. To prevent such mistakes, there are cases where components are temporarily mounted on a bare board with double-sided tape, and each one is measured and visually inspected with an LCR meter. This inspection is referred to as "first machine check," "setup change check," or "trial run inspection," but it requires the line to be stopped until the inspection is completed, which takes time and can reduce line operating rates. Additionally, when manually checking all small components on a densely mounted board, it is difficult to completely eliminate human error. Our company recommends automatic inspection using a flying probe tester as a method to make this task easier and more efficient. This allows for accurate and quick confirmation work after line changes. Customers considering improvements in operating rates through reduced switching times of mounting machines, reduced labor costs, and decreased risks of defective products are encouraged to consider implementation.

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

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 an inspection process 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 inversion machines through SMEMA, it enables automated and unmanned inspection even with large quantities of circuit boards. Additionally, when used in conjunction with other companies' 3D-AOI (automated optical inspection machines), the flying probe testers can detect issues such as microbridges that cannot be identified through visual inspection alone. This synergy leverages the strengths of each system, resulting in the elimination of false reports, 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.

Customers using older models of Takaya Flying Probe Testers, such as the APT-7400CJ, are encouraged to consider upgrading or expanding to the latest APT-1340J. The inspection programs used on the old models can be converted directly to the latest model, so there is no need to recreate or readjust the programs. Additionally, the latest model features a completely revamped drive motor and control system, with probe movement speed increased to 1.5 times that of the old model, significantly reducing inspection time. In fact, a program that took 33 seconds to inspect a single board on the APT-7400CJ was reduced to 19 seconds per board after conversion to the APT-1340J, achieving approximately a 40% reduction. With no extra effort required, an increase in inspection capacity and efficiency improvement can be expected, so customers considering an upgrade or expansion are encouraged to contact their sales representative.

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

Conventional jig-type (press-type) circuit board inspection devices require significant effort and cost to create and store pin board-type jigs, resulting in high running costs. The 'Flying Probe Method' circuit board inspection tester developed by Takaya, the first of its kind in the world, employs a system where a robot arm makes contact with the inspection points using probes (test needles). There is no need for jig creation costs. Additionally, specialized knowledge is not required to create inspection programs, allowing for immediate response to circuit changes. By utilizing it for establishing and verifying production data for mass production, such as solder printing and reflow temperature management, it enables high-quality manufacturing from the prototype level. There are also cases where it has been used for error checking in rework of added components or component replacements. We welcome inquiries for trials/tests.

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.

Takaya Corporation develops, manufactures, and sells store security products in-house. There are few domestic manufacturers of store security products, and many opt for products from overseas manufacturers. However, products from overseas manufacturers generally have disadvantages such as "limited Japanese documentation" and "slow support." Takaya Corporation is a long-established manufacturer of store security products with over 25 years of experience. We not only provide highly reliable products but also have a support system that can respond quickly in Japanese. As a domestic manufacturer, we offer comprehensive product documentation and demo equipment for loan, which has been well received by many customers.
