In the October 2025 issue of the monthly magazine "Inspection Technology" (Nihon Kogyo Shuppan), an article about our latest technology has been published. Published article: "Latest Trends in Flying Probe Testers Equipped with New Technology" Author: Koki Yanagida, Industrial Equipment Division, Takaya Corporation This paper discusses the technological innovations of the latest flying probe testers designed to accommodate the high-speed and high-density printed circuit boards, as well as examples of the introduction of JTAG collaboration and ZERO impact technology.

Our paper has been published in the "Journal of the Japan Institute of Electronics Packaging" (hereinafter referred to as "JIEP"), Vol. 28 No. 6 (September 2025). Published Paper "Development of an Ultra-High-Speed Flying Probe Tester for PCB Assembly Inspection" Author: Kouki Yanagida Paper Summary This paper reports on a new technology for the ultra-high-speed flying probe tester developed to address the challenges of high cost and difficulty in accessing fine components associated with traditional fixture-based in-circuit testing, proposing a new standard for next-generation high-density assembly board inspection.

Recently, a case study of Takaya Corporation has been published on the official website of i-PRO Co., Ltd. Our company has been addressing the challenge of developing and manufacturing a new type of flying probe tester by establishing a system to remotely understand the internal conditions of the equipment and expedite initial response. As a solution, we have introduced i-PRO's network cameras, achieving faster troubleshooting through real-time monitoring and enhancing quality control in the inspection process. In this case study, the background of the introduction, reasons for product selection, operational innovations, and the effects after implementation are presented from the perspective of the on-site personnel. Please take a look at the related link below.

Takaya Corporation will be exhibiting at the "MES2025 35th Microelectronics Symposium," which will be held for three days from September 3 (Wednesday) to September 5 (Friday), 2025, at the Osaka University Nakanoshima Center in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. Takaya plans to showcase a panel related to the APT series of flying probe testers. This symposium is a valuable opportunity to gather the latest research results and industry trends regarding electronic device packaging technology. We warmly invite you to visit Takaya's booth when you attend. We look forward to welcoming you.

On July 31, 2025 (Thursday), at the Keidanren Kaikan in Tokyo, our product "APT-2600FD (Dual-Side Flying Probe Tester)" received the "Nikkankogyo Shimbun 110th Anniversary Award" at the "55th Mechanical Industry Design Award IDEA" ceremony. This year, there were 34 companies with 37 entries from across the country, and 19 entries were selected for awards. The APT-2600FD was highly regarded as a next-generation model that features a unique structure enabling simultaneous inspection of both sides, along with the industry's highest standards of inspection speed and accuracy. At the award ceremony, the judging committee commented, "The design philosophy that balances inspection efficiency and reliability is excellent," providing an opportunity for our technological and product design capabilities to be widely recognized. This award is the result of the efforts of each employee involved in product development, and it could not have been achieved without the support and cooperation of our clients and stakeholders, as well as the assistance of the judges who conducted the evaluation. We sincerely thank you. Moving forward, Takaya Corporation will continue to contribute to society through the creation of high-quality and reliable products.
