The fastest in-circuit test! What are the features of a flying probe tester?
The Takaya APT series is a board inspection device capable of industry-leading ultra-fast in-circuit testing.
The Takaya APT series is a flying probe in-circuit tester that boasts overwhelming performance with the world's top market share, capable of detecting all defects on printed circuit boards through ultra-fast inspection. An in-circuit tester is a device that inspects the reliability of electrical connections between components and the board. By applying signals smaller than the operating current, it can identify defective areas and detect incorrect constants without damaging the components or the board. It is characterized by its ability to discover electrical defects that cannot be found through visual inspection (AOI), thereby enhancing quality assurance levels and making it easier to gain customer trust. The latest APT series has achieved a probe movement speed increase of up to 1.5 times compared to previous models, thanks to improvements in high-speed drive motors and communication control, enabling high-speed inspections with a minimum step of 0.02 seconds. This reduces inspection time by more than 30% compared to previous models, contributing to further reductions in inspection costs. Trial/testing consultations are also available.

**Vertical Probe System** By adding a vertical probe to the standard inclined probe, it becomes possible to make contact with points between tall components, vias, through-holes, upward connectors, and other areas that were previously inaccessible, thereby enhancing defect detection capabilities. Furthermore, with the addition of a dual Z-axis option that automatically switches between two different vertical probes, manual probe replacement is no longer necessary, allowing for efficient inspection.

【Inline Model】 By collaborating with loaders, unloaders, and flip machines, it enables automated and unmanned inspections in mass production processes. Additionally, when used in conjunction with other companies' 3D AOI (automated optical inspection machines), the flying probe tester takes on inspections for issues such as microbridges that cannot be detected by AOI, leveraging the unique features of each to eliminate false reports and improve inspection capabilities and speed.
-
【IC Solder Joint Inspection】 A system equipped with a uniquely developed sensor probe can rapidly detect issues such as lifted leads in BGA, QFP, SOJ, and solder defects. It can electrically detect lifted leads of narrow pitch ICs and lifted balls in BGA without damaging the IC itself.
-
【LED Emission Inspection Using a Color Sensor】 By illuminating the LED and using a uniquely developed color sensor, stable inspections can be performed with clear judgment criteria based on numerical comparisons. Visual inspections of LEDs can lead to variations due to the inspector's subjectivity and raise concerns about potential damage to the operator's eyes; however, such issues do not arise with this measurement method. Additionally, there is no need for the hassle or cost of creating dedicated fixtures.
