Seica SpA announces the future in flying probe and it will be on display at SMT in the form of the newly released Pilot V8. This is the latest addition to its complete line of Flying Probe Test systems and represents a radical departure from traditional flying prober designs. The Pilot V8 represents an important technological innovation in “double-side” flying probe test: Its vertical architecture enables high speed, high precision probing on both sides of the UUT simultaneously, offering the maximum in test coverage and flexibility in a compact, extremely ergonomic package. Equipped with eight electrical flying test probes (four on each side), two Open-fix capacitive and two power flying probes, plus two CCD cameras (one on each side, respectively).
The flying probe tester has 14 mobile resources fully available to test the UUT, with a full range of in-circuit and functional test capabilities. In addition, like the other Seica flying probe solutions, the Pilot V8 can also implement a series of “net-oriented” measurement techniques, based on measurements executed on the board signal nets. These new test methods significantly cut the time required for in-circuit test by considerably lowering the number of measurements required, maintaining the same level of fault coverage and valuable diagnostic information. The mobile power probes are another important innovation, which enable the power up of the UUT without requiring any additional fixed cables for easy implementation of functional test. The Pilot V8 can also execute parallel tests on two UUTs at the same time, effectively doubling test capacity with respect to a 4-probe system. It is based on the Seica VIP platform with its VIVA software, which optimizes test-program development time, execution test time and fault coverage, guiding the user through a series of automated operations in an intuitive, self-explanatory environment, drastically reducing programming time and practically eliminating the possibility for error and omissions.
Another innovative solution on display at SMT Nuremberg, the Firefly concentrates all the power and precision of laser technology into the automated selective soldering process of electronic boards and assemblies.
