This allows for a significant reduction in inspection time. 〇 Effectiveness seen through performance data Inspection time for one board, which took 33 seconds with the APT-7400CJ, has been reduced to 19 seconds with the latest model (approximately a 40% reduction). Improvements in inspection capacity can be expected. 〇 Benefits of upgrading or expanding - Improved inspection efficiency: Enhanced throughput on the production line - Zero hassle transition: No need to rebuild programs - Increased future adaptability: Peace of mind with the latest control system for long-term operation If you are considering an increase in inspection capacity or efficiency improvements, please feel free to consult with your 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. Please feel free to contact us. <Recommended for those who:> - Want to reduce running costs of jig-type tester inspections while improving accuracy - Require electrical inspection for a variety of small-lot circuit boards - Wish to conduct electrical inspections without specialized knowledge in circuit design *For detailed information, please refer to the catalog.*

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

This is an optional feature for measuring: - Leakage current between any specified nets - Leakage current (leakage current) of semiconductor devices such as MOS-FETs and photo MOS relays - Reverse current of diodes by applying a maximum ±110V DC constant voltage using a flying probe tester. By contacting other probes to the same net as the measurement probe and measuring the resistance value, a check function is provided to prevent misjudgment. Trial/testing inquiries are welcome. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.

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.

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.

In the February issue of the industry information magazine "PRODUCTRONIC 2021," published in Europe, we featured an article about the introduction of our testers at a major sensor manufacturer. This manufacturer handles approximately 10 million printed circuit boards and 800 million components annually and has been using Takaya's flying probe testers for about 20 years. This article includes comments from when they introduced the latest model, the APT-1600FD series. They conduct in-circuit testing directly after the PCB assembly process, which allows for very quick and reliable error detection. They also praised the ease of modifying inspections simply by adjusting the program, even if the assembly content changes during development. By eliminating the need for fixture creation, cost-effectiveness has increased, and they achieved inspection speeds approximately 2 to 2.5 times faster compared to using fixture-based testers. We encourage you to utilize Takaya's flying probe testers, recognized not only in Japan but also by companies and industries around the world. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related link page below.

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

The "electronic circuit board" is one of the important components widely used in various fields as a fundamental part for controlling electronic devices. The "board inspection equipment" developed by the Industrial Equipment Division is an "in-circuit tester" designed to inspect whether all components function correctly and whether there are any installation defects after various electronic components have been mounted on this "electronic circuit board" (ICT: In-Circuit Test). Among these, the "flying probe tester," which uses a needle called a "probe" that is rapidly moved by a robotic arm to directly contact the electronic components on the board for inspection, is a flagship product developed by Takaya ahead of the world. This device enables the quick detection of various defects that occur during manufacturing. Additionally, it allows for rapid adaptation to a wide range of boards through program changes. It has established an indispensable and solid position in modern manufacturing, which is characterized by small-batch production of diverse products.
