| Flying Probe Test System APT-8400 |
Of all the flying probe
testers in the world, none are as widely used as the
APT-8400. Since introducing the APT-8400 in 1993,
Takaya Corporation has dominated the fixtureless
tester market by providing a fast, reliable, and
easy-to-use flying probe tester.
Here's a brief description of some of the features
that the Takaya APT-8400 has to offer.
- Four independently moving topside probes
- Ability to add up to 2 guard points per step
- Test speeds of up to .04 seconds per step (standard machine)
As with all of their products, Takaya uses only the most reliable ball screw and slide rail mechanisms which have been designed for accuracy, stability and durability. This attention to detail is a major factor leading to the system's excellent positioning performance.
- Repeatability of +/- 50 microns
- Positioning resolution of 20 microns
- Minimum pitch of 0.20mm between probe pins
Now that you've chosen the best tester available, several options can be added to your machine for an improvement in overall test coverage.
- IC Opens sensor (IC lifted pin tester)
- Four adjustable bottomside probes
- Optical recognition system
- Vacuum unit (used with warped boards)
- And more...
New for the year 2000, Takaya introduced the user friendly Windows NT based software. This software was designed with the user in mind, so that even a relatively inexperienced person can quickly learn how to operate the tester.
- Sophisticated display and advanced edit and debug functions
- Review and adjust test steps quickly and easily
- Full networking capabilities
- Multi-level password protection
As an option, the APT-8400 can take advantage of Cognex image processing technology. This optical recognition system provides test coverage for components that cannot be measured in-circuit. The vision system gives you the ability to detect:
- Backwards tantalum capacitors
- Mis-placed components
- Part numbers
- And more...
