The coloured map generated after
the test. It shows the most touched
contact areas using a scale from
blue (no contact/few contacts) to
red (heavily touched areas)
intelligence which automatically optimize the
test flow in run-time, while maintaining test
coverage targets
The prober can accommodate fully loaded doublesided
boards with components that need to be programmed;
LEDs that require electrical and optical
testing; flex circuits; and board sizes and components
ranging from very small to very large. Using
the FlyStrain option, the Pilot VX can now also generate
pressure/force topology maps of the device
under test.
Once a necessity for traditional fixture-based solutions,
these new tools have been migrated to the flying
prober where testing of ceramics, wafers and
avionics and satellite boards requires delicate probing
and traceability. The new option generates a graphical
interface for fast analysis and log file for statistical
analysis. This kind of analysis is already conducted on
sample boards for Bed-of-Nails systems.
Using the new option, the runtime tool measures
the force as soon the electrical contact is stable. The
contact is continuously monitored, and when the
probe reaches the contact height, the system reports
the contact pressure for each single test point. The
final result is visualised via a coloured map using a
scale from blue (low stress point) to red (high stress
point).
In summary, the Pilot VX with FlyStrain programmer
tool is a flexible, configurable test system
with a set of technologically-advanced tools. It provides
the test solutions required by the huge diversity
of electronics which characterizes today’s high-volume
production environment.
