The APT-9411 is a flying probe test system developed by Takaya for detection of manufacturing defects on printed circuit boards.
The system uses four high-speed, independently moving probes, thus removing the requirement for a conventional bed-of-nails fixture.
Compared to previous models, positioning resolution on the x and y axes has been enhanced from 2,5 μm to an even more precise 1,25 μm, allowing the testing of increasingly smaller components on more densely packed boards. There are four moving probes plus two IC opens on the top side, plus one camera for vision alignment/inspection as standard. The flying height has been increased to 40 mm, which allows a greater variety of boards to be tested.
The additional TOS-5 upgrade provides a second top-side camera with a wider viewing angle, permitting faster visual inspection over a greater area. The standard system will inspect individual components at approximately three images per second but the TOS-5 option will permit the inspection of groups of components, also at approximately three images per second.
Takaya’s flying probe test systems can be connected to boundary scan as well as to extra power supplies and instruments for digital or limited functional testing. The operating system for the APT-9411 is Windows XP. Furthermore, using Netztest with the system eases the testing of digital PCBs.
