Seica was the first European company to design and produce a Flying Probe tester. Now, 30 years later, the company remains a leader in providing this technology.
It was in 1995 in Milan, Italy that Seica premiered the Pilot S20 FP system, an innovative solution that would turn the test market upside down. That same year, the first Pilot S20 FP was installed in Rome and a second was delivered to a customer in China. Designed and manufactured in Italy by Seica, this solution did not require the construction of specific fixtures to be able to test UUTs (Units under test). Its technology and economical use immediately captured interest.
Over the past 30 years, Seica has continued to believe in and invest in this technology, adding automation, pioneering vertical and horizontal solutions and continuously increasing performance. This included speed, precision, flexibility and test capabilities and the advancements have resulted in today’s powerful, high-performance Pilot Flying Probe line of test systems.
Today, the installed base of Seica’s Flying Probe systems numbers in the thousands. The units are considered fundamental instruments in the electronics sector. Known for their speed, precision and high technological level, the systems are used for testing all types of electronic boards and have a solid presence in the main international markets. Moreover, the technological advancements begind Seica’s platform have helped flying probe testing to evolve into an ideal solution for medium to high volume applications, providing surprisingly positive ROI numbers, handling the daily manufacturing changeovers demanded by almost every market. Furthermore, advanced Flying Probe systems can also be integrated into fully automated high-volume lines. This is thanks to the continuous improvement of mechanical performance and testing technologies, but also to a new and innovative concept of distributed test.
The PILOT VX platform, the gold standard for flying probe testing, offers unmatched speed, precision, and versatility. Its state-of-the-art mechanical and motion control design reduces test time by up to 50%, while 12 multi-function test heads enable double-side probing of up to 44 points simultaneously. Advanced measurement techniques, powered by artificial intelligence algorithms, optimize the test flow in real-time. The FlyPod option extends testing capabilities by enabling access to boundary scan circuits and onboard programming, making the PILOT VX an essential tool for testing a diverse range of electronic boards.
