A new innovation in substrate manufacturing. Achieving improvements in production efficiency and inspection accuracy!

The APT-2600FD is a next-generation dual-side flying probe tester that can perform combination testing with up to 6 probes using both upper and lower flying probes simultaneously. It improves test coverage while reducing the risk of product damage due to board flipping operations, significantly shortening inspection time. Equipped with a high-performance measurement system and a variety of features, it contributes to quality improvement from prototyping to mass production. We accept evaluation tests at our demonstration rooms in Okayama headquarters and Tokyo branch, where you can bring in your boards. A complete testing process is possible, including the creation of inspection programs, testing using actual boards, and summarizing evaluation results. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*
