The European electronics industry magazine "EPP" has published a feature article on Takaya's flying probe tester.

TAKAYA Corporation

In the October 2023 issue of the European electronics industry magazine "EPP," we have featured an article introducing Takaya's Flying Probe Tester. Takaya Corporation and its European distributor, Cystec Europe, have maintained a long-standing partnership with Siemens in Germany. At Siemens' global flagship factory "SIEMENS Karlsruhe," 12 Takaya Flying Probe Testers are currently in operation, ensuring the reliability of assembled circuit boards. With the APT-1600FD-A's simultaneous inspection of both sides, automatic setup of inspection programs using new software, and the use of an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) for automatic transport of circuit boards, they have achieved fully unmanned inspection 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Additionally, they support the latest interface standards such as OPC UA, enabling integration with MES systems, as well as creating an environment that automates monitoring of operational rates and automatic switching of inspection programs based on defect statistics. Please take a look at the related links below.

Flying Probe Tester: APT-1340J *Evaluation tests currently accepted
It is a board inspection device capable of ultra-fast in-circuit testing at a top-class level in the industry.

To ensure that electronic devices function correctly, the electronic circuit board within the device must operate normally. The electronic circuit board becomes operational when electronic components are correctly mounted on the printed circuit board (PCB) and power is supplied. The process of contacting a specialized probe to the electronic circuit board, which has electronic components mounted on it, and applying a minute electrical signal for testing is called In-Circuit Testing (ICT), and the device used for this testing is referred to as an In-Circuit Tester. This method allows for the inspection of "connection reliability between electronic components and the board," "the values of individual mounted electronic components (such as resistors and capacitors)," and "diode polarity," without imposing unnecessary loads on the board itself. It is also known as MDA (Manufacturing Defect Analyzer). Main inspection contents: ● Solder shorts and opens ● Pattern disconnections ● Missing components ● Incorrect component values ● Reverse insertion of polarized components ● Lifted leads of ICs and connectors ● Operation confirmation of digital transistors, optocouplers, and Zener diodes ● Other simple function tests
Flying Probe Tester: APT-1400F-SL * Testing in progress
It is a board inspection device capable of ultra-fast in-circuit testing at a top-class industry level. (Supported board size for inspection: up to 985×610)

To ensure that electronic devices function correctly, the electronic circuit board within the device must operate normally. The electronic circuit board becomes operational when electronic components are correctly mounted on the printed circuit board (PCB) and power is supplied. The process of contacting a dedicated probe to the electronic circuit board, which has electronic components mounted on it, and applying minute electrical signals for testing is called In-Circuit Testing (ICT), and the device used for this testing is referred to as an In-Circuit Tester. This testing checks the "connection reliability between electronic components and the board," the "values of individual mounted electronic components (such as resistors and capacitors)," and the "polarity of diodes," all without imposing unnecessary loads on the board itself. It is also known as MDA (Manufacturing Defect Analyzer). Main inspection contents: ● Solder shorts and opens ● Pattern disconnections ● Missing components ● Incorrect component values ● Reverse insertion of polarized components ● Lifted leads of ICs and connectors ● Operation verification of digital transistors, optocouplers, and Zener diodes ● Other simple function tests
Dual Side Flying Probe Tester: APT-1600FD
This is a flagship model that arranges probe heads on both the top and bottom, enabling simultaneous in-circuit testing of the front and back of the substrate.
