FlexyTEST, the tester for printed circuit board assemblies
What is a PCB test
A PCB test can be used to guarantee product quality and safety as well as performance to specified standards. By checking specific parameters and functions, a test will check every aspect of a PCB and identify any faults, correcting them before they become a real problem or require servicing or repair.
How to check the electronic components of a PCB
01
Continuity tests
to check for breaks in the circuit board and electrical resistance between connection points.
02
Functionality tests
to check that a PCB performs its functions correctly, using software or simulators.
03
Burn-in tests
to check that the board functions properly for long periods at prolonged set temperatures as well as under thermal stress.
04
Insulation tests
to check for short circuits between components by applying voltages to connection points.
05
Shock tests
to check the resistance of the PCB to mechanical stresses such as shocks and vibration.
Flexytest features
FlexyTEST comes with a test bench and a range of functions for developing test programmes, debugging and test execution. The test bench is composed of a main system and a fixture that can be customised according to the type of device and DUTs to be tested.
FlexyTEST’s main features:
- Development and debugging of test programmes
- Use of loadboards under the same conditions in the ATE with identical fixtures
- Self-test and calibration
- Real-time monitoring of DUT currents and power supplies
- Identification of critical or failed items, such as components or nets
- Generation of customised reports and STDFs
- Compatibility with the most common loadboard formats on the market, e.g: Microtest, Advantest, Teradyne and others still under development
The advantages of FlexyTEST
FlexyTEST is the best solution for performing tests and diagnoses on PCBs and loadboards to detect hardware problems without the use of ATE.
- It measures the performance of loadboards from different ATE manufacturers
- It saves time and money on troubleshooting
- It improves the quality and reliability of the testing process
- It validates loadboards in acceptance tests
- It provides preventive maintenance
- It increases the ROI on your ATEs
