[Exhibition Participation Announcement] We will be exhibiting at the Electronic Equipment Total Solution Exhibition 2024 / JISSO PROTEC 2024 Assembly Process Technology Exhibition.

Programming for FPGAs and special performance tests such as BST can be handled with a flying probe tester.

This is an option that equips the underside operating axis of the APT-1600FD series with a dedicated fixture lifting mechanism. It allows for special inspections connected to external devices, such as Boundary Scan Tests (BST), as well as writing to and reading logs from ICs, to be performed in parallel with in-circuit testing. *For an image of the operation, please refer to the YouTube video.

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

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.

Exhibiting at Nepcon 2024 from January 24! Achieving interoperability between industrial equipment and MES systems!

OPC UA (OPC Unified Architecture) is an open international standard developed for safe and reliable data exchange in industries such as industrial automation. It was announced by the OPC Foundation in 2008 and later standardized as IEC62541. It allows for secure and highly reliable data exchange across different types of devices, operating systems, and manufacturers, making it recommended as the standard communication for Industrie 4.0 and increasingly adopted worldwide. Additionally, it is aligned with the international standard for PLCs, IEC61131-3, which provides the advantage of reliably exchanging information from the manufacturing site with higher-level monitoring control systems and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). In response to this trend, Takaya has prepared an option to equip the APT series of flying probe testers with an OPC UA server. We are working to promote the spread of industrial IoT standards that bridge FA equipment and IT.

Webinar on Wavefront Sensors As the pixel count of cameras increases and the resolution of microscopes improves, the quality and performance of lenses are being held to ever higher standards. In this webinar, we will discuss the measurement principles and application examples of wavefront sensors (PWS series) that can quantify the quality of optical components and the performance of optical devices through wavefront aberration. We will also introduce the advantages of wavefront measurement systems (LUCAS) compared to traditional measurement methods such as interferometers, along with measurement case studies. If you are interested in the following topics, we encourage you to attend this opportunity: - Improvement of laser processing and exposure quality - Inspection of finished products for automotive cameras, industrial cameras, and imaging system lenses / assembly adjustment of group and composite lenses, and applications in the riveting process - Flatness quality inspection of micro optical mirrors used in automotive devices, among others The webinar will be held online and is free to attend. 【Date and Time】November 18, 2022 (Friday) 14:00 - 15:00 【Title】"Lens Wavefront Aberration Measurement Using the Shack-Hartmann Method" 【Speaker】Hideki Toguri, Sales Department, Pulse Tech Co., Ltd. 【Keywords】Wavefront measurement, aberration, lens evaluation, group lenses, composite lenses, interferometer

[Speaker] Yuji Hagiwara, Senior Expert Innovation Technology Department, IOWN Promotion Office NTT Data Group [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the importance of data utilization has increased in addressing social and cross-industry challenges and advancing generative AI. However, the publicly available and freely usable data is limited, and much of it remains underutilized within companies. Safely leveraging such internal data is key to value creation. Furthermore, data spaces are being internationally promoted as a mechanism for inter-company collaboration on data and value, extending beyond individual companies. This lecture will explain the current state of data spaces, specific examples, and NTT DATA's initiatives toward realization. [Lecture Topics] 1. What is a data space? 2. Examples of data spaces 3. Practical challenges and responses in implementing data spaces 4. Technological development to promote inter-company data collaboration 5. Q&A / Business card exchange
